I’ve been shooting some nature photos interspersed within and between my mountain biking adventures. It has been nice to get away from the routine and to spend some time wandering around in the woods. The mountain bike trails are out in the Hillsborough County Park System of Morris Bridge, Flatwoods, and Trout Creek. The trails...
A benefit of living in a place where it never freezes is that you can grow all kinds of cool tropical plants in the backyard. Here we have a hibiscus and a staghorn fern for your viewing pleasure.
I took this picture today. Quite a difference between the previous photo, eh? Yes, I left town for the holidays, and am hanging out in sunny Tampa, Florida. Yes, I’m wearing shorts right now. :>) I’m really enjoying the change of pace, and the change of scenery. I’ve been taking a bunch of photos since...
Lots of people need their bedroom to be pitch black in order to sleep. For me, it doesn’t really matter. I’ve trained myself to sleep with the blinds open. I feel it aids my renowned napping skills to be able to sleep with the sunlight streaming in. As a photographer, my senses have become attuned...
I took some time to enjoy the sunset today. I missed all of the great ones we had last week because I was too busy working working working. But today I’m wrapping up a few days of mental relaxation. The pointy hill on the right is Sugarloaf. I can almost see Paul’s house. Hi Paul!...
I really want to get back into posting regularly on this blog. I haven’t been am going to post more random images more frequently. Preferably attached to corny titles. Maybe I should have alliterated and called this entry Halfa Horse Head.
Enough of this Tour de France silliness. I have a lot of photo shoots rattling around in my head and I need to get back to shooting. I was going to drive somewhere and scope out a shoot that I’ve been thinking about for a long time. Then I found that my car battery is...
I was up on campus yesterday evening assisting with an engagement shoot. There was a family of raccoons that climbed down from the roof of one of the buildings using a nearby tree. This guy was the runt of the litter. He was bringing up the rear but got spooked by our picture taking. I...
I’ve used this picture on this blog before, but just pretend that you haven’t seen it. This is sunrise at Canyonlands Island In The Sky District on my trip to Moab this past October. These desert landforms symbolize the Old West to me. I love the colors in this photo, the depth, the shadows, and...
OK well, the Bender Zion Huckfest didn’t happen. His suspension was blown on his Dare, and I’m not allowed to take pictures of him riding any other bike since he is a sponsored rider. So I decided not to drive all the way across the state to not take pictures of trails that I wouldn’t...
I’m back at Mondo in Moab after a couple days in the isolation of Indian Creek and Canyonlands. I noticed while downloading my pictures this afternoon that I shot my 10,000th picture this morning using my Canon 20D. Fitting that it happened here, since I shot picture number one here exactly a year ago. I’ve...
On Weds morning I was riding my bike down to Amante at dawn to watch the Tour. The sunrise illuminated the Flatirons with rust overtones and the full moon was stunning. It was one of those many ‘Damn, I wish I had my camera’ moments. Today (Thurs) I tried to recreate the scene, but for...
