First Midwest Snow

December 1, 2015

The first snowfall has arrived in the Midwest.  As much as I hate Winter it was cool to watch and of course photograph.
This post is over a week late and the snow is already melted.  Rest assured there is more coming.
Enjoy the gallery.

Today’s Catnap

October 3, 2015

Fall has arrived and the weather here in the Midwest has been gorgeous!
So what better way to soak up the crisp air than to take a catnap…outdoors…on a sidewalk that leads to the Mississippi River.
Are you new to this series?  It all began with one photo.

Today’s Catnap

June 6, 2015

Last week Adam enjoyed a catnap on Iowa’s side of the Mississippi River.  If you missed that post click here.

This week he’s enjoying a little break on Illinois’s side.

Either way, the river can provide such a peaceful environment in which you can relax and unplug.

Today’s catnap series started with an idea.  And we’re just getting started.

Photo Editing: Experimenting With Various Actions and Colors

August 3, 2012

I had intended on sharing a smash book update with you tonight, but I got a bit sidetracked.  So, I said screw it, life itself is rushed enough.  Let’s do something fun I said out loud in my office.  The dogs looked up with a slight nod and then curled back up on the floor by my chair.
Then I started to stroll through my files and came across this image I took last week.  Do you ever experiment with different actions and colors using the same photo?  Have you purposely captured an image with your subject in the center knowing later you were going to crop it for a new look?  
I’m a self taught photographer.  Everything I know is by experimenting.  
Enjoy the pictures.
