Spring At Last
The Winter that never ends
This has been the winter that never seems to end. This past week we have been teased with 50 degree days only to be followed by cold and even more snow. Wednesday morning I awoke to fresh snow. Much of this years snow has been the fluffy dry kind, but this one was the wet clingy kind that sticks to the windward side of the trees and buildings. So I went out to look at the snow and found some interesting things to photograph. Now if there was only some way of getting these sights and not have it so cold!
Winter Time
It's time for Winter to be over! No more snow that needs to be shoveled! No more sub zero wind chills! No more ice that I slip and slide on. I'm OK with Winter-ish, but NO MORE WINTER!
NCHS Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Brunch
This weekend was the annual Naperville Central High School Father/Daughter Dance and Mother/Son Brunch. This was the 20th F/D and I have been the photographer for 19 of them.
When I was working in the school district, it was always fun to see the former students as they progressed through the High School. The past few years, those former students have been the parents of the students at these event. There were even several parents who's weddings I had photographed.
Hearts For Valentine's Day.
Today is Valentine's Day. Are you getting engaged? Book your wedding today and save $400. Book within the next week and save $200.
Be An Olympic Photographer
I've often wondered what it would be like to photograph a huge sporting event like the Olympics or Superbowl. Well now I'm getting the feeling vicariously through Jeff Cable who is an official photographer for the Winter Olympics.
Here is his blog if you want to check it out.
New Website
Today I activate the new website. Of course if you are reading this blog, you are already at the new website! I'm excited about the new look and feel and hope everyone likes it. Hopefully I can keep up with the blog to share some of my images and thoughts.
Getting away from the midwest weather
After a few days in Phoenix for Imaging USA, we flew to Hawaii to visit with Sue's brother and his wife. This is such a relaxing place. I'm sure I will find lots to photograph.
Day 1 of Imaging USA 2014
Today I have been at Imaging USA in Phoenix. I attended some sessions and reinforced some ideas and skills that I have had for years. I also looked at all the new gear on the trade show floor. Tomorrow will be another full day of learning sessions.
Packing and repacking.
I've been working all day getting ready for the PPA Imaging USA in Phoenix AZ. It will be nice to see all the new stuff, see some old friends, and hear some speakers. Plus getting out of the ice and cold to a warmer destination doesn't hurt either. I've pared the camera bag down to one camera body and one lens. I'm going very minimalist on this trip.
Getting Started
This is me getting started with the blogging experience. It may be a complete flop, or it may be something that continues to evolve.
