to my personal blog. Here I post examples of my photography and writing. I specialize in making unique and highly detailed photographs. Notice I said making and not taking. Yes I take photos but a lot of time and work is involved in pushing and punishing the pixels in my images to achieve the look I like.
Please feel free make comments about any of my words or photos. I enjoy constructive critiques, learning about locations to shoot or photography techniques. Click on the "Share Article" link to share any of my photos via Flickr, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Want to use one of my posts in your own blog? No problem, but please make sure it links back to the original post here and do the right thing and give me credit. Don't copy my words, crop the images, remove the watermarks or claim my work as your own. This has happened more times than I can count so I've had to report copyright violations to ISP's and regrettably the violators blog is usually taken down.
Can't we all just get along?
Thursday, December 3, 2009 at 9:56AM | in California, Cars, HDR, Whittier It's tough to take photos of these highly reflective vehicles and not become part of the photo yourself. I've posted other images of this truck but I really like this head on perspective which is exaggerated a bit by my 11mm wide angle lens.
Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 8:50PM | in California, Cars, HDR, Whittier The Uptown Whittier 2009 Car Show hosted over 250 classic cars. This show started 8 or 9 years ago with just a handful of entrants. Now its hard to know what to photograph first.
Monday, November 30, 2009 at 7:14PM | in Aviation, HDR, National Air and Space Museum, Udvar Hazy Center, Washington DC Udvar Hazy Museum's SR-71 Blackbird spy plane.
Positioned front and center, this aircraft greets all visitors to the National Air and Space Museum Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center located at Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Virginia.
No other aircraft in history operated globally in hostile airspace as successfully and for a longer period of time than the SR-71. No aircraft was ever lost to hostile fire.
On its last flight Lt. Col. Ed Yielding and Lt. Col. Joseph Vida set a speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C., in 1 hour and 4 minutes averaging 2,124 miles per hour. Upon landing, the air force donated the aircraft to the Smithsonian.
