6 Years of Full Time Airstreaming – I must have learned something

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

I’m sure many readers know the full story, but new readers may not.  So we’ll do a quick re-cap before I start into a series of articles on my experiences as a full time Airstreamer. After the start of a severe unknown illness in 2005 that never cleared I found myself in early 06′ facing [...]

The blog still lives

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

While I’m not blogging often, the blog itself lives on.  I know this for a fact because yesterday I had 5 different contacts from readers.  Neat. Some were missing me and my posts.  Thanks guys, I’m still around, just busy earning a living.  Others got in touch for free information of one type or other.  [...]

The longest detour in my personal history

Tuesday, November 27, 2012

Time for a different journey

Tuesday, November 13, 2012

Showing only what you need to see

Friday, November 9, 2012

Last year I had the opportunity to photograph for a local manufacturing firm. And a few weeks ago I received a call from them once again for another job. It’s nice when clients appreciate your work enough to return to you again. The firm, Merit Engineering, makes concrete saws. Not the sexiest photo topic ever, [...]

Two for two

Thursday, September 27, 2012

Often times I find myself breaking photo sessions into two parts for clients.  Some studio time, some location time.  It gives folks a chance to breathe between photo sets, clothing changes, and just wind down from being in front of the camera. It’s no different for the “little” clients as well.  Kids tire out, need [...]

Images of people just starting out

Wednesday, September 26, 2012

This weekend saw our second to last Sr. Rep model shoot.  Each of my reps have been a lot of fun, their parents have enjoyed the process, and I had a good time too.  Whatever can be said about how slow business is, when you put me behind the camera everybody is smiling.  That’s a [...]
