Aug 31 2009
As we slink away from summer, I thought a nice way to say good-bye would be next month’s header capture, “emergence,” a photo I snapped while in France.Watch for it, along with a brief story, on Wednesday.
More stuff added then, too, including details on new SFM projects and ARTvision previews.
Stay tuned.

Of Respite & Calm: My Stopping Point On The AV200
Jun 10 2009
Like I’ve said in my conversations with other riders, “Don’t send a photographer to do a cyclist’s job.”
Hence the lots of stopping to capture scenes while doing 70 miles over a two-day stretch. “Great Oaks,” the header capture for wp.com this month, was an outgrowth of that ride - and is a symbol of country kindness you don’t find anywhere else.
On my return leg, I stopped at this familiar location and a gal came out to as me if I was OK. “I’m fine, just taking a breather,” I said. Sounded like their family was getting ready to sit down to Sunday brunch.
Everyone should be required to spend a day on a bike touring the countryside. You get an immediate appreciation for your surroundings, and every once in a while, you are surprised by kindness.

"Winslow Morning" Shoots To Capture Fishing As Zen
Dec 22 2007
Mike, Nettie and Dean Pollock (and me) approached this scene at Snoqualmie Falls outside of Seattle.
As luck would have it, the fisherman was cold when we arrived, but soon after caught a few.

A Day In The Fort Lauderdale Life
Aug 14 2007
OK, so you know what they say: lemonade from lemons, yeah?Well, I took that to heart this week when Tim ClemNey
After some extra time with Thigh, I decided to call Delta and see what kind of specials they were running. I ended up here, in Fort Lauderdale, because a few hours on the beach -- and a stay at a great hotel (Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort) -- was just what the doc ordered.
I landed no sweat and was pounding the pavement before noon for lunch... Had a great lunch right on the beach, while the heavens opened. It poured. Came back to my mack-daddy suite, laid out on the beach, worked out -- then went to Thai on the Beach, a very cool restaurant just down the street. Both meals were fish, of course -- the lunch was grilled tilapia over field greens, while the dinner was masman curry grouper. AMAZING.
Some of the captures are cool, so make sure to check them out.
