Photography

I’ve often heard that picking a lane or a focus and leaning into that regarding photography helps funnel your audience to your specific focus photographically speaking. And then there is me doing a hard left on that and adding yet another category to my tool belt – Concert Photography. The thing is, I just like to shoot…. lots of things. I don’t want to pick a niche or two and stay there. And…

Snaps from this past weekend’s Labor Day, Cars for Cancer car show in Muskegon, Michigan. The “false fall” us midwesterners are sadly used to may just be one of the longer and real falls that we’ve had in recent memory. That said, today was a tad more summer-like. All things considered though, it was a fantastic weekend weather wise. I ended getting up quite early to get there right as the show…

Another year and another air show for Chicago in the books. This year we were treated to a sweltering show and some residents, broken windows as the Thunderbirds gave us an extra treat on Friday’s practice runs. But broken glass and sun soaked gear aside, it was a great show. Enjoy the album below which is a smattering of my favorite shots from throughout the weekend.  

Another year is in the books for the Elkhart Grand Prix. In a twist that broke with recent weeks of weather, the weekend was actually nearly perfect with temps in the low 80’s during the day and not too humid and into the 60’s/50’s at night. If you’ve never been out to the Grand Prix, I’d recommend checking it out. It’s a great time and makes for a nice summer weekend.

Trip Review: American Southwest

The United States is a fairly vast landmass — really vast, in fact. In previous decades (or centuries) it was considered the “Wild West” and “The Last Frontier”. While technology has somewhat shrunk our world in modern times, there’s still something unique and mysterious about this region. Back in the fall of 2024 I had an opportunity to travel to the west and southwest, starting (the interesting…

Because 10 photos just wasn't enough.... Recap: 2024 #recap2024

It’s been quite the year. While this year was more travelled than others in recent years, it was also juxtaposed alongside an actual lack of photo content one might expect. Sometimes it was just the luck of the draw (or lack thereof) with regards to weather in certain locations. Other times, it was simply wanting to be present with people. Sometimes when you go on trips you just want to /be/ with…

While I haven’t been going to the Chicago Air Show very long, the few years that I’ve made it have definitely solidified it into a nice, end of summer routine. Typically mid-August in the midwest (Chicago included), it’s quite hot and humid. Thankfully however,  unlike the 2023 Chicago Air Show, 2024’s show  was a treat. The temps were mid-70’s and there was a nice mix of occasional cloud and…
