First of all I would like to say that my thoughts and prayers are with everyone in the Midwest and Southeast, the month of April has not been kind. I have talked with a few friends in Georgia, so anyone that I have not talked with I hope all is well. The month of April has not produced any truly bad storms in Central Illinois, but we have more than our share of rain and clouds. As usual, the Illinois River is well above flood stage and farmers are waiting to get in the fields to plant this years crops. So welcome to the ...Continue Reading

This time of year is not my favorite, I love winter for many reasons but as spring arrives we seem to have more ice and freezing rain than we really need. It makes for great images but travel can get dangerous. One negative reason for me is the Bald Eagles migrate back North, while a positive is the water falls come back to life, the transition from frozen water to liquid water is always fun to record. It can be dangerous, as some area's remain icy until temperatures really warm up and the large sections of ice can fall ...Continue Reading

I must be having fun, since the old saying goes "time fly's when you are having fun". Currently I have some current clients asking for images and working on some projects for new clients. Hopefully I can share some details and/or images soon. The primary image this month is from Yellowstone National Park once again. Like last month's image, this image was actually shot during the fall, with this image being shot in the Norris Geyser Basin area. The secondary image this month is from the Dunlap Illinois area, ...Continue Reading

Hope your holidays have been wonderful and welcome to 2011! Can you believe the new year has begun already? With this month I have included some of the changes requested and will be working on others as the year goes on. One item I have included is the display of the of moon phases for the astronomy friends, it's still a work in progress as depending on the image it's a little hard to see, if not impossible, depending on the background image. The biggest change for this year is the option of two(2) images for your desk ...Continue Reading

Welcome to the month of November, like it or not but winter is around the corner. This fall was a little disappointing in Central Illinois, most of us thought there would be some wonderful color but for the most part we were left hoping for better color next year. October was another busy month, it started with a wonderful shoot on a farm in Cazenovia, Illinois - cattle roping and branding. This is something you would normally find in the Western US not in Illinois, so it was fun to witness and record the event. Shot so ...Continue Reading

Another month gone by and welcome to a change of season to Fall. Fall and Winter are my favorite seasons, so I am always excited when the weather starts cooling off at night. The past month has been busy, with high school sports, harvest time and great weather so I am out and about all the time. Even squeezed in a weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with three other photographers, we had a great time and came back with some wonderful images. Expect to see some in the future, just not this month. Thi ...Continue Reading
