Wabaunsee County, a great place to experience the Flint Hills
Recently I stumbled across the trailer for the film “Last Stand of the Tallgrass Prairie”, which really struck a chord with me. I was slightly embarrassed that I hadn’t seen this before. I also could relate to this blogpost “This is Why”. There is something very special about the Flint Hills and there is no […]
Farewell to Fall
As much as I hate to, it is time to say goodbye to Fall. Without question, Fall is my favorite time of year for a number of reasons. Actually I like all the seasons, but there is something about Fall that sets it a notch above the other seasons (sorry Spring, Summer, and Winter!). Even […]

Happy Thanksgiving and being Thankful
I just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. Everyone has a lot to be thankful for even though it may not always seem like it (I know I grumble too much about the negatives even though the positives far outweigh them!). From a photographic standpoint, I have a tremendous number of things to […]
Picture in picture
The photograph above was taken a couple of weeks at sunset. I had just pulled off the road into a scenic overlook near Carnahan Creek where I was out with one of my photography classes. As everyone was getting out of the vehicle, we noticed the sun going down behind a hill. With the sun […]
Road Trip part 4. The Final Stretch.
Time to wrap up this series of posts on my road trip through Kansas. After leaving the Scott County Lake, Dad and I were headed east for the drive home. We stopped at Cedar Bluff Reservoir, another one of those locations that I had been to when I was growing up (physically, I still haven’t […]
Road Trip part 3. Scott County
Time for the next installment of “road trip” updates. After photographing around the Clark County Lake and the Big Basin area, Dad and I drove north up to Scott City to photograph around the Scott Lake and some of the unique limestone rock formations in that part of the state. This is another part of […]
Road Trip part 2: Sunrise, scenic detours, and surprises
Day 2 of the road trip started off with getting up before sunrise to drive from Coldwater to the Clark County Lake. I’d never been to the Clark County Lake, but the photographs I had seen of it had me really interested in visiting. Dad and I were following a bit of ‘back road’ route […]
Clouds, sunset and slow shutter speeds.
Fall is my favorite time of year for many reasons, but one of the main ones is the weather. I’ve never been a hot weather person and I love the cool temperatures of fall. We have been having some nice weather lately, but….we haven’t had hardly any cloudy skies the past couple of weeks. Almost […]
Road Trip, part I: Down to Coldwater
Earlier this month I had the great pleasure of taking a 3 day, 1100 mile photography road trip through south central and western Kansas with my Dad (who is also a photography addict). We had a great time and it was great to get to spend time with my Dad driving through country we both […]
