Before I left the park Sunday I’d already uploaded to The Best Camera a photo of my grandson enjoying himself for the first time this year at Planet Westerville. In my Nikon D300 was a near duplicate image of the seven-year-old struggling to get high enough to leap into the air at his greatest apogee [...]
This is not the photo I intended for an afternoon shoot. It’s better. The plan was a quick stock shoot of a young model dressed as a cowboy in a field of fresh cut and rolled hay and straw. We had four shirt changes, some gloves and a few other accouterments to make some style [...]
The temperature has been below freezing most mornings with the highs for the day rarely getting much more. Hoover is mostly frozen in a thin layer of ice too thin for fishing. Below the dam the water is a little warmer after it’s trip through the pipe and begins to freeze again south of the [...]
This farmer’s hand photo is one of three that I’ve donated to a silent auction for the Westerville Fire Fighters Memorial. The memorial is dedicated to fallen fire fighter David Theisen. Included in the memorial will be a piece of the steel from the World Trade Center. The silent auction is presented during a dinner [...]
I had a different plan for today’s posting. But, after being snowed in most of the day and having little actual photo work to do, I thought I’d share my walk in the snow. Inniswood Metro Gardens is near my house. Near enough that even on a day when most people travel no further than [...]

The spot was chosen because it put her right hand in the soft shadow of one tree and her head in the open sunlight. [...]
William Rosen is a retired disabled Navy veteran who I first knew through his car parked at the library. Its rear panel shouted at me as I walked to my car books and cds in hand. I waited for its owner to return until I couldn’t wait any longer because of a previously arranged appointment [...]
After several days of near shirt sleeve weather temperatures fell back to below freezing late yesterday as a cold front settled across the state. As usual, I went out into it, this time taking along a tripod and wide angle lens. The dam at Hoover Reservoir frequently shows up in my photos or is the [...]
As the city planned its advertising campaign for a levy to increase the income tax, one of the projects the increased revenue would be used for included renovating and repairing the city’s brick-covered streets.
My assignment for an editorial client was to show the streets and I had to do it the day I received the assignment. Typical news job. Here it is. Do it now. Make it look great.
