Foggy Empire

I had a great view of the Empire State Building from my hotel room on my last visit to New York City.  One evening while I was there the fog rolled in during the evening and the Empire State Building,  illuminated in blue, lit up the fog as it was rolling into Midtown Manhattan.  I was able [...]

Grand Central Terminal

Most people call this place Grand Central Station, but this is actually Grand Central Terminal. Grand Central Station is actually the post office or refers to the subway stop underneath the building.  Grand Central Terminal is at 42nd and Park Avenue and is a commuter railway terminal in Midtown Manhattan. My last visit to New [...]

Empire State of Mind

Today I thought I would give you a view of New York from the Top of the Rock (Rockefeller Center).  I captured this 6 shot panorama as viewed from the top of the Rockefeller Center looking directly toward the Empire State Building.  The Empire State Building happened to be lit up in red, white and [...]

The Painted Ladies

I was looking back to a trip I took out to San Francisco last year and this image just seemed to stand out.  I thought I would re-share this image for my blog viewers who have never seen The Painted Ladies. The Painted Ladies are Victorian houses built back in the late 1800′s, early 1900′s. [...]

Mekhi and Alyus – A Day at the Park

Mekhi and Alyus two brothers that are inseparable!  They have so much fun together seeing who is fastest, who can climb the highest and to see who’s the strongest. I spent a day at the park with them, climbing, crawling through tunnels, sliding, running around and just plain having a great time! Alyus and Mekhi had [...]

Warning Strike

This past Saturday I was out capturing some images of the Supermoon.  Storm clouds were present that evening and just as quickly as the clouds lifted to show the moon, then came back again and with a vengeance.  We had heavy winds, rain, lightning and hail in a matter of minutes and I was leaving the [...]

Lone Bison

I’m changing it up a bit and bringing you some wildlife today.  This image is so simplistic, but an image that could be interpreted to say so many things depending on the perspective.  I really like the compression brought to this image by the long lens and the layers it created. My 70-200mm lens (and in [...]

Supermoon at DIA

The Supermoon was this past Saturday.  I had scoped it all out on Google Maps and ventured out near DIA.  I was hoping for an image of the moon rising over the white teepee structure over Denver International Airport (DIA), but when I drove out, the road I had hoped to get my image from was blocked [...]

Sneak Peek: Mekhi and Alyus

I shot a photo session with Mekhi and Alyus this past weekend.  These boys were full of energy and so much fun to be around!  I had trouble keeping up with these two brothers as they ventured in and through the tunnels of the playground. The raw images look fantastic “straight out of the can”. [...]
