Transitions – Changing of the Seasons in the Flint Hills

If I really had to pick a favorite season it would probably be Fall, but Spring would be a close second. Actually if I was being really honest, I probably like the changing of the seasons more than any specific season. With that in mind, I decided it would be fun to put together a […]

My 2017

A Sheltered Spot

  After taking a break from things over the holiday, going through some winter blah’s and then dealing with the flu, I’ve finally gotten around to putting together a slide show of my photos from 2017. I’ve been doing this for a few years now and it has been a great way for me to […]

Fall Canvas Print Sale and 2018 Calendars online

A Sheltered Spot

Fall is definitely here now and I’ve had a lot of fun photographing the change in colors this season. To go along with the change in seasons, I’ve decided it is time for a Fall canvas gallery wrap sale. I’ve selected the photo “A sheltered spot” for the sale. This sale is for 16×20″ canvas […]

A Weekend for wildlife watching

Owl

This past weekend I made several trips out and about with my camera. A lot of my photography lately is done on weekend trips with my wife. We like to load up our dog and head out for drives to various places nearby. We usually try to head to a location where we can get […]

Getting Ready for the Fall Crops

Milo (sorghum) field 2016

Several of my previous blog posts have talked about photographing recurring events each year.

Since I live in a state heavily involved in agriculture, some of the cycles I end up photographing […]

Fall show at Radina’s Coffeehouse

If you find yourself wandering northeast Kansas and pass near Manhattan, stop by Radina’s Coffeehouse in Aggieville and grab a cup of coffee and check out the photos I have on display there until October 16th.

Late winter views from the shoreline

Winter sunset reflected in the River Pond area of Tuttle Creek Lake.

I like to photograph water, it is fun to work with creatively. The reflective quality of still water can be really beautiful, especially at the edges of the day. Moving water is also fun to work with, flowing water can create interesting textures and patterns to photograph and I love the look of moving water […]

Wandering a few trails around Manhattan

Cedar Ridge Trail

It seems like it is increasingly easy for me to find myself at the end of the day without having moved as much as I should be…hard to deny the brutal honesty of a pedometer that says you are woefully short of steps. To fight back some at the inertia of the office, this fall […]

Photos from 2016

Waterfalls at Lake Kahola

Each January since 2012 I’ve been putting together a slide show of my photos from the previous year. This has been an interesting experience for me and a fun way to review my year. It has also helped me remember all the experiences I was fortunate to have to be grateful for them. I always […]
