Exploring a bit of Cowley County
My Dad and I made one of our yearly photo outings a few weeks ago. Over the past few years we have tried to take at least one photo trip together annually. Most of these trips have focused on the Gyp Hills region of Kansas in Barber County and nearby areas of Comanche and Clark […]
Photo ops around the yard…capturing the arrival of spring
Circumstances have kept me close to home so far this spring. I haven’t been able to make it out with my camera much lately to get my Nature fix, so I’ve been spending as much time as I can prowling around my yard. It has been fun watching and photographing the first signs of spring […]
Time with the bald eagles this season
Photography has helped me be more in tune with the cycles of the natural world around. As these cycles change, so do the photography opportunities around. Since I’ve been doing this for several years now, it has been interesting to see how the cycles themselves have changed (not always for the better). This time of […]
Late winter at the ends of the day
I always enjoy photographing water, and probably make as many “waterscape” photos as I do landscape photos. There are certain times of year though, when I’m drawn more to water than others. One of those times is late winter. By the end of winter, the landscape around me has had it pretty rough and the […]
My 2015
At the beginning of the past few years, I’ve been putting together slideshows of my photographs from the previous year. I put the photos in these slideshows together in chronological order and it is fun for me to review my year in this way. I had a lot of fun photo outings in 2015. As […]

Time for my last Print of the Month sale of the year, can’t believe 2015 is almost gone! Since we are headed into winter, I picked a photo from the Flint Hills -“Hillside Seat” as this month’s print. Something bright and colorful to take everyone through the winter. This month I’ll be offering 3 different […]
10 Things Photography Has Given Me to be Thankful For
With Thanksgiving coming up, people are focusing on things they are thankful for in their lives, which is a good thing. Being thankful for what you have has been shown to provide all sorts of health benefits from improving sleep, increasing mental resilience to boosting self-esteem. I know being thankful is something I need to […]
Road Trip Opportunity – Cheyenne Bottoms
Recently I had the chance to give a photography presentation in Great Bend, Kansas. This meant I had the chance to spend some time at Cheyenne Bottoms. Cheyenne Bottoms is an important wetland, covering about 41,000 acres. As the largest interior wetlands in the U.S., Cheyenne Bottoms is an important stop-over for migrating birds travelling […]
2016 Kansas Nature & Landscapes Calendar
It is hard to believe 2015 is nearing the end and that it is time to start thinking about 2016! Getting close to the end of the year means calendar time and I have my 2016 Kansas Nature and Landscape calendars online for ordering. This year I decided to only do one calendar and I’ve […]
