Few photos of the Christmas decorations. Also a few portraits.

Stirling Engine

Flywheel and the rocker arm are shown. To see the engine in action and the flame/heat source go to the gallery.

University of Idaho

Nice weekend trip around the school campus.

Robotics

Photographed the local lego robotics teams. Some great moments captured.

Portraits of a crazy 2 year old

Well they do move fast at this age ....

Oregon Coast

Winter trip to the coast. Boats at night and the usual amazing coastline vistas.

Washington DC

Trip to the DC area with the last bit of fall color. Highlights include the Einstein Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, and the Mall.

Pumpkins

The Halloween carving is complete. What more needs to be said?

2006-10 Salt Lake City

Brief tour of Temple Square and the captitol building.

St Johns Episcopal Church

Wonderful windows and historic building.

Night Bridges

We hiked the edge of the Columbia river looking for a good spot to take pictures of the bridges. Finally ended up with a great view of the blue bridge and the cable bridge.

Visiting

Stopped by a friends house this week. Clearly a musical family!

Methodist Church

Wonderful stained glass and afternoon light in a beautiful church.

Farm Visit

A very short trip to Idaho, but I was just in time to see the corn chopping. Enough daylight to snap a few pictures of some of my favorite equipment.

Fall Color

I took most of these on our road trips in the northwest. In the last two weeks I enjoyed a trip to Boise, Seattle, and the mountains. Beautiful leaves everywhere!

Mt Rainier NP

Weekend trip to the National Park and the sun actually came out on the giant mountain for a few moments at a time. Beautiful fall color and a fun time at Paradise and Sunrise.

Trip to Kahlotous

Took a nice drive this weekend and enjoyed the farm sites. The dog had fun too!

Pendelton Round-Up

The theme for this event is "Let'er Buck" and I always get wonderful photos in that tone. Hope you enjoy the gallery of broncos and bulls. Also have a gallery of the other events.

Fiery Food Festival

Just a quick trip to the Pasco festival this year. A few fun photos.

Hike to Lake Basin, Wallowas

We walked uphill for a long time. Buckley was tired of having a backpack, but the view was worth it. We camped at Horseshoe lake and visited Craig and Lee lakes as well. Also a few great views of Eagle Cap, one of the more famous mountians in Oregon.

Detroit

Who said this wasn't a great city? I just got back and it was, well, everything you have heard. And it smelled really funny this time.

Only real photo activities were a short tour of the GM showroom on the floor of the Mariott.

County Fair (Kennewick Washington)

We ate the corn dogs, we visited the animals, we watched the rodeo, and we won stuffed lizards at the games. We spent a ton of money :)

Sydney Pictures

Portraits of a cute little one.

Rocky Mountain National Park

My first visit to the famous park. What great scenery!

Pike's Peak

Classic tourist stop in Colorado. I won't spoil the ending for you, but I will tell you that this is my favorite picture from the batch.

Denver

After whirlwind tours of Orlando and Portland I headed to Denver to catch (yet another) city. If you like skyscrapers check out the gallery.

Columbia River Gorge

We took the long way through the gorge on the historic highway. What a great drive past waterfalls, views, and lots of tourists.

Orlando

A few more photos from the Orlando area. Oddly enough, while I did see the Disney downtown shopping area, I never saw Disney world. Ironic. Or magical?

Kennedy Space Center

Visiting Orlando (obviously). Space center tour was fantastic. Space shuttle, rockets, big engines - what could be better?

Tour of an ERJ

All the behind the scenes "features" in air travel. Backstage with the ERJ.

Two Brothers

Took family photos for a few cute kids.

Fireworks

4th of July fun.

Baseball

We had an opportunity to attend two baseball games in a fairly short time period (usually we only get to go to two per year. We watched the home team loose both times but you can't complain about the hot dogs.

Game 1
Game 2

iStockPhoto

Joined another photo website. This one is called iStockPhoto and has a slightly different pricing scheme. Again the portfolio is linked.

Farm Fun

One more post to catch me up. I took several intersting photos of fun farm sights. Cows, barns, wheel lines, equpment.

Twin Falls

A few more photos from the trip to southern Idaho.

• Shoshone falls. Includes the Twin Falls.
  
• Photos around the farm. Includes a few pictures of the dogs, wheel lines, etc.

Methodist Church

Took a few pictures of the church while I was there. Amazing stain glass as always.

Amsterdam

Well, Amsterdam Idaho anyway. Ryan and I took a photo shoot trip to the old grain elevator. Ryan was brave enough to go into the scary closed door. I took photos from a distance when I could tell it was safe.

More websites

Just finished registration with another website that allows photography purchases. The pricing scheme is a little different, but the quality of the other photographs seems to be a little higher.
Stop by and see my gallery.

Patches Theme

I took the patches theme with me in the last week or so. A few of these give the flavor of diversity out there.

1. Pea Patch
2. Shade Patch

3. Patch Patch

Senior Photos

I don't often have a chance to take senior photos so this was a fun photo day. This batch included a real baseball player so some of the shots at the field were good.

The Butterflies

Visit to the woodland park zoo that included the butterfly house. The day was overcast and apparently that makes the butterflys more likely to cling to the flowers. Amazing.

Stock photos available

Shutterstock is a large stock photography website that offers the work of thousands of photographers for sale. Some of my photos are available for purchase on the site.

Stop by and take a look at the pictures that people like to buy.

Equipment - In case you were wondering

Like most photographers I have now moved to the digital realm. I primarily work with a Canon digital SLR, but some photos still need the Canon 35 mm.

• Canon 40D
• Canon Rebel XT (2)
• Sigma and Canon telephoto lenses (100-300)
• Canon 10-22 wide angle
  
• Canon macro 100 mm
• Canon 80 mm
• Canon macro 50 mm
  
• Canon 28-85 standard lenses
  
• Assorted filters and hoods
  
• Pistol grip Bogen tripod
• Underwater camera case (useful when snorkeling)
• Canon Powershot A520 (for a pocket photo now and then)
  

Photos of Sydney

A little late, but I finally got all the photos from Seattle up. Most of these showcase the birthday party of Sydney, but we have a few duck photos as well from the trip to the country village. Just a fun family moment.

As a postscript, the photo on the right was a finalist in a photography contest recently.

North Cascades National Park

We took highway 20 through North Cascades National Park. We also drove up the Cascade River Road and camped with a view of Mt. Baker. On the way to the campsite we met a small black bear, which caused Buckley to growl.

Jim and Casie's Wedding

Traveled to Mazama, which is near North Cascade National Park in Washington for the wedding. The setting was very nice, held in at the Freestone Inn and with the beautiful mountains in the background.

Maui Photos

Recently had the opportunity to visit Maui. The underwater photographs are some of the best simply because the Sea Turtles were there.

We also drove around the island and took photos of waterfalls on the Hana side of the island. Other highlights included the spinner dolphins on a trip to Lanai and the drive up to the volcano.
