Wow. I have thousands of pictures to go through from the last month and I will not have the time to get them up for a while but I wanted to get my weekly post out at least. Shad and I participated in the Worldwide Kelby Photowalk. This involves wandering around town as a loose group of up to 50 people capturing a bit of your world to share with the rest of it. We gad a blast. Here are some of my favorites. I'll post more later.

I liked the repeating patterns on this historic building and the park bench.
We have some great lamps lining main street giving it an old time feel.
This was the best capture I could find on the theme of nature rising through the asphalt world we've created.
This is my favorite image from the day. I've never seen a hat better leveraged for a tool box!

What is to come

Hi Friends,

Unfortunately I have not had the time to do much on photography lately. I'm going to try and post once a week from here on out. I've thrown in a couple of pictures from my last two weeks with the caveat that I've not had the time to carefully edit them but wanted to get up some shots so you know what I've been up to.

These bees were drinking out front of a bakery in Nauvoo IL.I had a business trip to Buffalo NY yesterday and was surprised to learn that I was 19 minutes from Niagara Falls (I'm Canadian remember, but you wouldn't know it by how the RCMP chased me when I entered a restricted area at the border with my big tripod... Crazy). I snuck up there before I had to fly home.
This shot was of the sunset in Wyoming on the way to Nauvoo. A lot of Semis pass through them parts!
I had the exhilarating experience of shooting at an Amish farm. I look forward to posting more from that awesome time.
This needs work, but this was the temple in Nauvoo the first morning there.
Thanks for looking! Would love to hear your comments. I apologize for not being able to post more often!

Tacoma and Seattle

Here is another shot from the wharf in Tacoma. It is an Hdr of 3 exposures at low tide in overcast conditions. Should look better if you click for large version.

This is a neat water park next to the needle in Seattle. This dog played for an hour catching water in its mouth. The kids had a blast too. For fun I did this as an HDR with a single exposure +/- 1.5 stops.
