“Aliens Crossing the Street.” Today was not easy at all. The girls have been out of action with a nasty stomach bug Friday and Saturday respectively and I thought I had steered clear of it, but then it hit me like a ton of bricks this morning. It really took the energy out of me [...]

“African Daisy.” Spending time with your subject is the key to success. It is exceedingly rare that someone can approach a subject, take a picture, move on and then return with a great a great photo. Most great pictures are created which includes an investment of time to get the best possible picture from the [...]
