I love this. I love the concept of it, I love that it exists. I loved that somebody created it. I love that somebody paid for it. And, I love that I got to take a nice picture of it. What is it? It’s a giant clock sculpture. It works – it ticks, it chimes, [...]

In honor of the winter-like weather the Californians seem to think we are having here in Newport Beach, I’m putting up a powerful image of spring. Seriously, I saw a guy yesterday wearing a stocking cap and scarf in 70 degree weather. It’s a simple image made from our Easter bouquet shot with very low [...]

Here’s a glamor shot of my newest toy – a 1971 Bally 4 Million BC. I’m not really into the old-school pins – but I’ve always liked this game. When an opportunity came up to buy one locally, I couldn’t turn it down. It’s surprisingly difficult to shoot pinball machines. If you use a flash, [...]

Today was my mother’s birthday – and we spent it as a family together in Waseca. During the afternoon, we went to Farmamerica – an Agricultural Interpretive Center because they were having a family day with a petting zoo. William had great fun milking a goat, looking at pigs and ducks, and getting inside the [...]

This is a picture from the night I was trying to dial in all the studio gear. I had just recieved my first AlienBees light as well as a reflector, back background, and radio controls. Fortunately, both kids were in a great mood – and giggled a lot during the shoot. Vital Stats: Canon 40D [...]

This was the centerpiece at our Easter dinner on Sunday. I was on a mission to get Easter pictures, and up until after dinner – I had forgotten. This meant that I had to scramble to keep up – and started firing pictures every which way. This one was a little more planned out – [...]

This is my old Bally Twilight Zone pinball machine. I don’t own it any more – but my good friend Adam does. This shot was taken the day before it left my house. See anything unusual about this picture? Sure – it looks surreal – but why? The answer is the focus. There is a [...]
