A couple of weeks ago, I had my model friend Lauren toss leaves in the air, while I photographed them (and her) with my Nimslo four-lens camera. Here was the best shot of the day, as far as I was concerned. I liked the way this image turned out.ย I really do.ย I actually thought…

Leica Green meets Autumn Brown
I know the snow is coming. I know the temperatures are dropping. But before the colorful leaves fall from the tree branches… I had to get a few more shots before autumn faded away. With that, I recruited my gifted Leica M3 camera (“Leica Green”) and snapped a few remaining autumnal shots with Kodak Gold…

When I come up with a photographic concept, most times I can make it work simply because I’m the only person involved in the project.ย If I want to photograph a building, I will stand in front of it; I won’t ask the building to move to the other side of the street where the…

A night of (combined) copper
Last Sunday night, I had a blast photographing the blood moon eclipse.ย Probably drove all my Facebook friends nuts by talking about it so much. Near the end of the night, with the clouds oozing over the horizon, I had to put a stop to the photography – I couldn’t get a decent shot of…
