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.

Memorial day, a pow wow, a plague of locusts and some more street time

Downtown Columbia
Joyriding

Spikey

Pensive nature

A couple of fans at 9th & Broadway. This is an old shot, but I love patrons of the arts.

Mr. Friendly and the student of gravity. 20% crop. I LOVE my Sigma 70-200 2.8, but Mr. Friendly does not.

The Pow Wow
The Pow Wow was fun. John helped set up the lighting at the portrait booth. I had to shut down early because the wind kept after my umbrella, but I got a couple of good ones.

What, me worry?

Colorful

A plague of locusts
The cicadas/locusts are out in force this year

Eye to eye to eye with the dreaded locust - Nikon D7K

The Veterans Cemetery in Jacksonville Missouri

They have the standard military headstones here, but this memorial wall intrigues me. Most of those buried here have died since 2000. The cemetery is huge, but only one small section currently has graves in it. There's lakes, a visitor center and beautiful landscaping
