A photo and lighting place! Here I'll post some stuff I've shot in the process of learning.

Since my move to Fujifilm equipment (WAY sharper & MUCH better than my old Nikon gear) , I now shoot with two Fuji X-E2 bodies and the NEW X-T2 from Sherry on my birthday!


* Fujinon XF10-24 f/3.5-4.8 R (SHARP across the range!)
*
Fujinon XF18-55 f/2.8-4.0 R (SHARP across the range!)
* Fujinon XF60 f/2.4 (SHARP across the range!)
* Fujinon XF55-200 f/3.5-4.8 R (Uber SHARP across the range!)


Flash stuff:
* 6 Yongnuo 560-IV with commander/transmitter.
* 6 Nikon SB-25/26/28s (old, manual, reliable, nice),
* (6) Pocket Wizard and (6) Yongnuo RF-603 radio flash triggers

And
tons of stands, umbrellas, soft-boxes, brolly boxes, mounts, hot & cold shoes (and some lukewarm ones), cords, spigots, clamps, pocket wizard triggers, reflectors, scrims, backdrops, adapters, snoots, grids, batteries , chargers, bags & cases, gewgaws, clamps, gimcracks, whatchamacallits, doohickeys, thingamajigs, whatnots, widgets, et cetera.

I love to shoot out on the street, but the technical aspects of photography/lighting are fascinating - and sometimes vexing. I am fortunate to shoot with motivated and inquisitive photographers.


I am available for portraits, senior photos & product photography.

Commercially printed copies (up to 24" x 36" of most photos seen here are available on high quality paper or mounted board for framing.

National Biker Roundup 2010 - Bad to the bone

National Biker Roundup in Columbia Missouri - Population 95,000, and 30,000 bikers from all over the US at the fairgrounds. John & I got in because we asked nice. Press were restricted by the organizers - just because.

We spent 3 days there, three HOT days shooting in the sun. There was dust everywhere, and dust mixed with sweat equals mud. And a good time was had by all.

John Leach (above, on the right) and I set up a portrait "booth" (really a backdrop gaffer-taped to the fairgrounds building) to get some shots of the bikers. Three flashes with radios, but it was hot as hell and I had to take it down after a couple of hours.

You can try my spiel - I dare you. It went like this: "Say, man. Come on over and stand on that beer can so we can get a picture."

What's the worst that can happen?
