Capturing your moments...that is my passion. I have always enjoyed photographs. Even as a child I loved to look at the old family photos. I would just stare at them...What were these people doing? What were they thinking? What on earth is that person laughing at? My Mother would always fill in the details, like it just happened yesterday. My Father was an amatuer photographer, and that's where it all started. With his equipment I soon started in school. I had spent many hours in a darkroom trying to perfect my style, the way I see the world. You see, I have always been an art kid, painting ,drawing, sculpting... anything I could get my hands on, get dirty with and express myself, I did it. That's the way I will approach your photographs. I want to capture your moments and expressions. Not just a static pose with Mom and Dad. Let's get the memories; those first steps, the first kiss... I want your family and friends to look at your photographs years from now and ask the question " What on earth was this person laughing at?" and you can smile and tell them exactly what happened like it just happened yesterday.

Perseid Meteor Shower 2009

Well.... you pack your equipment up, ice down some cold drinks, charge up the Ipod and head out to capture one of the universes wondrous marvels. But Mother Nature had a different idea. :)
I had hoped to get some long exposure shots. You know, the kind that shows the stars moving in circular patterns and that one streak moving perpendicular right through the image like a comet? Nope... the clouds moved in. Just figures, hardly any weather all monsoon season and on the peak day of the Perseid event, the clouds roll on in. Oh well, on the lemonade making front I did capture some images of the clouds moving past the waining gibbous moon. No meteor shower but I must say I still had a pretty good time.








The forecast for tonight...Thunder storms. I'm debating whether or not I want to try again for the meteor shower? Maybe...
