Can you believe that spring is nearly over and summer is right around the corner, also the year is nearly half over! May was a busy month but included a short road trip for myself to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. It was nice to escape for a few days and visit some area's that have been wanting to shoot for some time. This month we will give you some hot and cold images, hope you enjoy them. The first image this month is sunset with the Marquette Harbor Light, located on Lake Superior in Marquette, Michigan. This ima ...Continue Reading

Welcome to May, with most of the country experiencing April showers we should expect flowers to be in full blown shortly! Along with flowers, I would like to wish all Mothers a Happy Mothers Day later this month. Last year at this time we were talking about how much rain most of the United States were seeing and floods around the Midwest. Now we are seeing Southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle receiving hurricane like rain fall from a recent overnight storm - hopefully all my friends are safe in those area's. The ...Continue Reading

Happy April 1st to all of my readers around the world, wish I had a good April Fools joke but I do not. Hopefully the images this month are not considered jokes and that you really enjoy them as much as I enjoyed capturing the moments in time. I am sure Mother Nature has some wonderful weather in store for everyone this month, so let's hope she is kind to everyone. With the first image this month, we have basically completed our journey of National Parks and Monuments from last years trip, so enjoy a little view from R ...Continue Reading

Just last month when I was sending out the update, we were having a large snow storm in the Midwest - we have another one heading our way again! Most people are ready for Spring to start and have the snow melt away, sorry to say it might be a little longer with a few storms heading east. Every year in February I shoot images for the Mid-America Collegiate Hockey Association (MACHA) Silver Cup hockey tournament. While it's difficult to win one championship for a college team, the University of Wisconsin Platteville did t ...Continue Reading

Happy snow day to everyone in the Midwest! Ok, so maybe not everyone is happy about the snow traveling across the Central US. Winter is definitely here and we will see if Groundhog Day has any predictions for an early spring. Personally, I have numerous trips planned this winter, so I would not complain if winter was a little longer - I know I am in the minority thinking like this. The first image this month is iconic Delicate Arch from Arches National Park in Utah. Delicate Arch is on the Utah license plate and is pro ...Continue Reading

Happy New Year to everyone around the world, hoping 2014 is better than 2013 for all my readers. My 2013 was good overall, I was hired by a few new clients and was able to shoot some new products that I never thought I would have shot previously. There were numerous challenges during the year, with some successful and some not so successful but I believe all my clients were happy with the results we obtained. While I don't make New Years Resolutions, I do plan on making 2014 a better year and produce unique images for a ...Continue Reading

Hopefully this newsletter for December finds everyone in good health and safe. This last month was a real test for the Midwest, the month started with snow on the ground for a few days and then Mother Nature dropped a bomb Sunday morning on November 17th. While I don't know how many states actually had tornado's touch down, Illinois was hit fairly hard with 1000's of families with no place to stay after storms left miles of destruction. Washington IL was hit extremely hard with an EF-4 tornado that destroyed complete su ...Continue Reading

Can you believe Halloween is over and it's November!? That means turkey day is on the way and the countdown to a certain day filled with presents - sorry but it's still to early to start talking about that holiday. It appears Fall is here in Central Illinois, the last few days was like a light switch - no colors and now some great color. Hopefully last month no one had their trips interrupted by the government shutdown, it lasted longer than I expected and it did cause a slight problem for one of my trips last month. Ho ...Continue Reading

Welcome to fall, for those individuals in the Northern Hemisphere - weather has been a little strange lately around the United States, hopefully the wonderful fall colors stay in your area for some time. Wanted to send my thoughts and prayers to those in Colorado affected by the flooding, hard to imagine some of the roads I was driving on 3 months ago no longer exist. They may not exist for a couple of years, that will be tough for a very large number of people and businesses. Today marks the 123rd Anniversary of Yosem ...Continue Reading

After the wonderful weather Central Illinois enjoyed last month, we had a couple of interesting twists - like Mother Nature likes to do now and then to keep us on our toes. First, after the cool weather a large number of trees thought fall was here and started changing colors and dropping leaves. Then we were able to enjoy hot and humid weather once again, with temperatures in the upper 90's and high humidity - I was really hoping that was over. The first image this month is not from Mesa Verde National Park, which we ...Continue Reading
