Wishing for warmer weather

Had a few spare minutes today. I was looking at my files and remembered this summer image from Michigan. Not a big fan of shooting in the cold--as a newspaper photographer, I couldn't avoid it for many years. It must be pretty good for me to brave the cold and ice to shoot. And that hasn't happened yet.

Stick a fork in me--Finals are done, and so am I.

After finishing my finals [two of which I think I did OK on and one of which I am relatively sure that I totally FUBAR'd], it is only appropriate that I thank all the women in my life who are such big supporters. That includes you Alan because you once said you weren't a guy. Well anyway, my hat is off to you. Thanks for putting up with me. I know it hasn't been much fun. Congratulations to Aimee--she has a job!! And positive vibes to Mallory and Kelsey as they finish their finals and med school tests. I love all of you.

Band on the Run, runs

Before I hunker down to study for finals, I thought I would share the finished product of the KU Band story. It runs in KU Endowment Association's magazine. Enjoy.

Happy Thanksgiving

I know, I don't shoot a lot right now, so I apologize that I don't have a lot of new work to show, but that's just my life right now. However, I had a few moments this morning and was checking my hard drives. Of course, I fired up RTE on the web and listened to trad music from Ireland. And I started looking at images from my last trip to Ireland. I posted a few of my favorites.

Gotta Dance

I had a little assignment this week, photographing the University Dancer Company's Fall Recital rehearsal. I have been doing this for several years. It is a lot of fun and the dancers and dance is great. One woman really had "ups." Enjoy.

Point and shoot

I don't have much time to shoot right now. Classes, impending finals, work and my mother's illness, but I do mess around with the G9 some. I really love it's macro capability. It's a fun little tool. Not a moment camera, but a scene camera. I shot these just messing around in an exotic location--the 700 block of Missouri Street.
