Best of the Best
January 15, 2008Usually, once a year, there is a story big enough to make national news around here. Usually weather related, but sometimes not.
This past year, it was the flooding in June/July.
Many of these next photos made the Associated Press wire and were seen around the country and world for that matter in newspaper and online.
I am proud to show what I witnessed.

Food for Thought
Here are a pair of food portraits from 2007 that rose above the rest.
Shooting food isn't easy at all, you have to make it look like it does in real life. Textures don't always translate well into photographs.

Portrait Work
December 28, 2007Portraits are hard. It just isn't all that easy to really capture the essence of a person in a single shot.
You can't just show up to a place and not talk to them to get a sense of who they are and what kind of photo to take of them.
Even more upsetting is when the newspaper page designers don't get your shot... and destroy it for the sake of a "creative" page design without even talking to you about it.
Portrait shots are always intentional... everything in the frame of the shot was put there on purpose by the photographer. They are an expression.... and in my opinion... the only time we really get to truly be creative.

Enjoy....
