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.

Welcome to the photography blog

I wanted to provide a timeline for the photography on my website. Many of the photos are organized by type rather than date or event so I am hoping this will provide a little clarity for the users of the website.

Additional background, I am just starting out as a photographer. I enjoy artistic photography, but I have started to dable in weddings and events. I work in Washington state but frequently travel to Oregon and Idaho to take photos.
