Going on Safari at the Montgomery Zoo

There are few places where you can photograph such a variety as at your local zoo, and I am a regular at the Montgomery Zoo. Whether  I am shooting animals, people or the facilities at the zoo — there is always a shot to be had, and many of the shots I take are usable by [...]

Please take a moment to look over [...]

Oakview Cemetery – Lowndesboro, AL

I have a lot in common with my mother — I talk too much; I’m overly curious and I think cemeteries are cool. There are many other attributes that I share with my mom, but for this post the cemetery thing is most relevant. Oakview Cemetery in Lowndesboro, AL is an older cemetery with many of its headstones and [...]

If you stand on the Edmund Pettus Bridge and look down river, you will see a railroad bridge — below are several shots of the rail bridge mentioned. This bridge is still in use, and is quite impressive when viewed up close. Nothing beats a good photo exploration.

Family Photo Fun: Railroad Tracks

This afternoon my wife came to me and said that our 3-year-old daughter was given a homework assignment that required her to have a recent family photo. Obviously, the one that we had lying around the house was not sufficient so we pulled together a quick and dirty photo shoot on the railroad tracks behind the house. [...]

True Grit Biker Gallery, A Photo Effect

A collection of several biker photos I snapped a few years back, retouched for fun. The originals were shot as jpeg with an old Canon Rebel 6.1 mp—so it was interesting to see what kind of gritty detail I could pull out of them. I’m not a huge fan of Photoshop effects or over-manipulations, but [...]

Photo Stitching at 10785 x 15050

This isn’t by far the largest stitch job I’ve done, but it is the largest stitch I’ve attempted with my subject in motion. For those of you who have not experimented with panoramic compositions and photo stitching through Adobe Photoshop need to give it a try. To be honest, I don’t remember how many RAW [...]

Recently I’ve been doing a lot of work for the Montgomery Area Chamber of Commerce Convention and Visitor Bureau and The Official Montgomery & River Region Visitor Guide. A large portion of this work is [...]

Every afternoon (that I can) I take a walk to clear my mind, stretch the legs and recharge the inspiration tank. What better way to spend time with my little girl are share my work experience. Kaylee [...]

Photo exploration and on-location shoots are two of my favorite assignments, and shooting at the bar is always rewarding. After all, which would you rather do?

Old & Abandoned: Grove Court Apartments

The old and abandoned Grove Court Apartments have quite the history, and yet they lay lifeless—open to the elements and in danger of becoming just a note in someones lost journal. If your interested in the details surrounding these apartments than read Ben’s comments on my previous post, “Abandoned Apartment Complex“. For additional images, view [...]
