While Spring is here, Mother Nature has been having fun with us in the Midwest - a large snow storm occured two weeks ago and the northern half received snow last weekend. Luckily it does not last more than a couple of days so most people are enjoying the weather. People complain it's too cold but not sure they want the heat and humidity of summer - I know I can wait. Now it's raining, so majority of the Midwest is under flood warnings from rain and melting snow.The first image is a barn near Princeville IL taken last w ...Continue Reading

Spring is officially here and soon everyone will be thawing out, if not already; those friends in the higher latitudes and elevations have another month or two. March was a very busy month, shooting mostly ice hockey with tens of thousands of frames shot during the four weeks. Race season has started, so traveling to race tracks every few weeks will begin soon.The first image is Lower Calf Creek Falls in Escalante National Monument near Boulder Utah. The lower falls drop about 125 feet into a nice pool of wate ...Continue Reading

The weather forecasters say spring is coming but I have seen two different stories, one saying shorter winter and one indicating longer winter - which do we get this year? Since Central Illinois has snow in the forecast for four of the next eight days, I have a theory but I will keep that to myself. Hopefully everyone was able to receive the four emails last week, which would have provided everyone with the newsletter stories and links to calendars missed over the past few months. If you did not receive them, let me kno ...Continue Reading

February 2019 NewsletterHope everyone is staying warm, the polar vortex that hit the North American continent was quite the artic blast of cold air. In Central Illinois, the temperatures were a roller coaster ride with a high temperature of 61 on January 7 and a low temperature of -20 on January 30 recorded in Peoria. Amazing fact is that neither temperature was a record for the area, but a record was set with a high temperature of -6 on January 30th.The first image is looking over Mississippi River on a cold morning ne ...Continue Reading

January 2019 NewsletterHappy New Year to everyone - be safe and enjoy the celebrations along with some time off. When I created last months newsletter, I started thinking about how much I traveled over the past few years.

In 2018, I took a few trips for personal photography along with numerous business trips to shoot events for various clients - in total I drove 44k miles and visited 16 states.

November 2018 NewsletterFirst off, I would like to apologize for the lack of communication over the past few months. While updating my website to comply with new security measures in safe web viewing and to support the latest browsers, I broke a small piece of the website - the newsletter portion. Years ago, middle of 2009, is when I decided to start creating monthly newsletters based on a suggestion of a mentor of mine, Kevin May. So while researching the best way to create newsletters and let people subscribe automati ...Continue Reading

September turned out to be a really long month for myself, thought it was going to be fairly normal and then the month was turned upside down. Started with a few American Flat Track races in Springfield IL and then an opportunity to get out West was presented and off I went. A window opened up and I quickly planned a trip to Glacier, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks with couple of weeks on the road. That was followed up with another American Flat Track race day and a couple of other events. All total from Sept ...Continue Reading

Can anyone tell me where July went? Looking back at the month, I was very busy and could have drove from Boston to San Francisco and then to Los Angeles with the miles I drove. Luckily I don't mind a little windshield time and a big portion of those miles was with my wife sitting next to me. The next few months appear to be very busy with a few driving trips planned, you'll have to wait and see where I travel to next. If you have any types of images you would like to see, make sure you send me a message and I will see w ...Continue Reading
