Sometimes you’ve been inside too long

Sunday, March 14, 2010

I don’t know about you, but after being cooped up for days on end due to illness, bad weather, or anything else that keeps you inside, don’t you just get to that edgy point where you’ve got to go out?  You’ve stared at the same four walls (in my case, rounded walls that seem to [...]

Working the learning curve – My latest experimenation

Saturday, March 13, 2010

For weeks I’ve been mentioning a project that I’ve been working toward. I know, I haven’t given you too many details or bread crumbs to work with (although, I have given a few). Sorry about that. So many distractions over the past few weeks…… sometimes you just can’t help them.
Finally, the [...]

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

Well, pretty simple post here. Just thought I’d pop up two more images from last weekend that are fairly stylized. I like the final results and thought I’d share.

Landscape HDRs can be realistic

Tuesday, March 9, 2010

It’s a fact. HDR doesn’t have to be surreal.
While shooting in Vulture last Saturday John asked me my opinion on HDRs for landscape.  We were walking along between buildings when the question was posed, so we stopped and set up a few landscape HDRs for processing later.
Personally, I think HDRs for landscapes ROCK!  It’s [...]

The Big Weekend Approaches

This weekend is just chock full of stuff……
For me, I’ll be at the Vulture Mine on Saturday, then Sunday here in town. The first HDR Workflow class takes place this weekend, and it should be fun! Of course, I’ll be missing some events in Prescott on Saturday……..
This weekend the Firehouse Plaza will be [...]

The well prepared client……really prepared!

Thursday, February 25, 2010

So, I just had to share this one with you, and I think readers will appreciate it!

Chris Marzonie popped by the gallery the other day with a few images for his upcoming show over at the Raven Cafe.  In addition to the photos he brought in, he also had one extra PSD file for me [...]

The Tuesday News Update from the Airstream Chronicles

Tuesday, February 23, 2010

Well, what’s the latest goings on in my world? Plenty. So, let’s get right to it!

Airstream News:  Our “false start” to Spring is over and the cold is back.  This morning I awoke to nearly frozen water lines for the first time in a while.  When the temperature drops below 20 my water [...]

Turning Day into Night…..well, trying to at least

Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Yesterday I got a bee in my bonnet. Metaphorically speaking that is. I haven’t been known to wear bonnets in quite a while now……Actually, I’m not even sure what a bonnet is.  And fortunately all the bees are hiding right now due to the cold.  I’m allergic to them you know.
So, no bees, [...]

The Stormline…..or, my quick day trip

Monday, February 8, 2010

Yesterday I desperately needed to “get outta Dodge.” Time outside of Prescott is necessary occasionally. Don’t get me wrong, I love this town. But you need to have a get away now and then.
After laundry was wrapped up (Sunday is my laundry day) the Versa was loaded up and I ran by [...]
