Purple

The other day while driving home I noticed how awesome the sky looked. There was a beautiful purple coloring in the sky that tinted the clouds and landscape. Luckily I had my camera with me well it wasn't really luck since my camera never leaves my side. Here is the image I got.

More from Tennessee

Here are a few more images from our trip to Tennessee. These again were taken with an infra-red camera.

Rock City

I recently took the wife and kids to Tennessee for a family vacation. One of the touristy things we did on the trip was to visit Rock City on Lookout Mountain (near Chattanooga). This is an amazing park that has paths and passages flowing throughout the natural landscape of the mountain. My favorite part of the park was a passageway in between two gigantic rock formations that was very narrow. The passage was called "Fatman's Squeeze". My kids were making bets on whether I would make it through (I did with no problem).

The day we went was a dreary rainy day so I opted to use my infra-red camera. Below are a few of my images from that day.

My Boys

Every year right before Christmas I take my boys into my studio to get their yearly portraits. These portraits go up in 16x20 frames in our living room for my wife to see on Christmas morning. It is a nice little tradition that that my wife looks forward to. These are the shots that we put up on the wall this year.

Merritt Reservoir

A group of friends and I went up to Merritt Reservoir to near Valentine, NE last weekend to get pictures of the Milky Way. We shot from sun down to sun up. I could not believe how clearly you could see the stars out there. This is my favorite shot from that night.

Aksarben Planet

This image was from a series I did at Aksarben Village. The images I got were your standard variety location shots so I decided to spruce the images up and did this funky rendition. This provides a total 360 degree view of the main strip in Aksarben Village.

Last Night's Storm

We had some pretty nice storms last night. When they started developing I jumped in my car with my trusty camera and hit the gravel roads. I was only able to get a few images before the wind and rain kicked into high gear. Here is one of the better shots form last night.
