6/7/10: A quick summation of this week’s Picture of the Week. I’ll be joining these boys in the Bahamas for the rest of the week and there’s a good chance that by the time you read this I’ve already dove in and I’m hunting for lobsters! I am going to try my best to keep posting PoW over the next couple of months but I can’t promise. Summer is here and I’ve got me a new pair of ‘traveling shoes’ to wear-in. Any one tired of all the BS the world keeps throwing at us is welcome to join me.… Continue reading
Strong composition, balance and symmetry plus a bit of drama adds to the allure of this image that was recently made on the North Island of New Zealand. In addition the calmness and reflection of the water helps to soothe the otherwise dramatic elements (weather, dominant graphics, bright light) in the picture.

However the conditions and light were almost perfect and there was something I needed to focus the camera on.
For years I’ve enjoyed putting together slideshows upon returning from overseas travels. My friends and family found them entertaining and it was a fun way of sharing my experiences and photography. Originally the shows were shown on a single Kodak Carousel Projector and later they evolved to where I was using multiple projectors with synchronized sounds for a true multimedia experience. The one constant I always incorporated in my shows was a kick-ass sound track; there might have been a few critical comments about the images but never about the music! Today of course the world has been digitized and… Continue reading
(This story comes from an assignment I shot for the owner of “Big Dog” who wants a coffee-table book to remember this once in a lifetime undertaking). Three years is a long time to be tied to one project, no matter how much labor of love is involved. But three years is what it took to hand build the “Big Dog”, a 75′ sports fisherman motor yacht with a tall ‘tuna’ tower attached to the outer hull that is used by big game fishermen through out the world. The Mark Willis designed and built boat is a classic through and… Continue reading
