I was on a fun shoot for Outpost Pictures this week, at the Kansas City Toy & Miniature Museum on the UMKC campus. If you’ve never been, I encourage you to stop by. Laura (a museum associate) is shown here in these frames as she carefully works with pieces for our shoot. Every piece of […]
This weathered old church in Whiting, KS caught my photographic eye but then a closer look yielded even more detail with Old Glory fading & tattered in the original stained glass window. Feb 2009
This classic bowling alley icon was photographed in Junction City, KS. April 2009 The parking lot was filling fast for league night. I just managed to squeeze off this photo before a rusty old Ford pick up with a loose muffler & the driver wearing a Dekalb Corn Seed cap, rapidly whipped into the spot […]
While on a recent live camera event at the Bartle Hall Ballroom, I stepped out on a break to snap this photograph of some art against the backdrop of the new Performing Arts Center.The color in the trees make up for the bland sky. The second photo is from an obvious different angle & is […]
How can I pass up a photograph like this? Who dumps a perfectly playable piano out in the front yard? I took this image in a small KS town that I have forgotten… I’m guessing that the trash men had fun loading this piece! March 2009
This aerial photograph is from yesterday’s run to Ft Riley, KS. The construction company, Walton Construction, needed a great image to hang on their wall. The light was beautiful but the winds almost blew us into Nebraska!
This timeless image is a favorite. Photographs are happening all the time & I was lucky to have had my Palm Pre at the very least. Good photography begins with any camera in hand. August 2009
I shot this photograph of a steel worker as he paused perfectly in the rusted metal frame of the Kauffman Center For The Performing Arts. The contrasting colors of the metal with the vibrant blue sky top off the image. September 2009
A photograph can happen at any time & that is exactly how I grabbed this image on a drive through Missouri. If I hadn’t been looking, I would have motored right past it. The Nikon D90 really captures the essence of the era here. August 2009
This is a favorite recent image taken in August 2009. The look I created gives the photograph a very 1960’s slide film feel.
When John Paul Drum needed a photographer to capture a few images of a live show… well, how could I resist the Red Beans & Rice at Jazz? Kansas City, MO. August 2009
Aerial timing was in my photographing favor as air traffic control took us “over the top” at Kansas City International Airport. Jan 2009.
August 2009. These old Ford tractors lined up in an open Missouri field were worth the stop to photograph. I spent quite some time there looking over these old machines and then taking some images with the Nikon D90.
I snapped this photo in April of 2009 at Ft Riley, Kansas. I was documenting construction at the new Airfield Dining Facility. I told the worker he looked like the US Hockey Team Goalie.
Fred is one of the luckiest cats that I know. Saved & then loved a lot. Yes, those eyes are 2 different colors. Photographed with a Nikon D200. Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens and available light.
