Wolfie

There are some kids that just make your heart melt every time you see them. Wolfie's one of those kids. Marty works with his dad and when he told me Wolfie would be at the race shop, I knew I could catch the little cutie patootie in action helping his dad. Wolfie was kind enough to stop for a moment and throw me a smile. As a future race car driver with a strong German name, I'm glad to see he's learning to embrace the paparazzi so early in life!

Sometimes, you just have to go urban punk

I'm not even sure what that title really means. I often dream of being able to produce high quality magazine covers or images that a kid wants to tear out and hang up on his/her wall. I think that's how you know you've made it - when you inspire someone to dream by means of your image. Not that this image is at that level, but that's what this image conjures in my imagination. It's somewhere between reality and an alter-ego in dream land. Secretly, deep down inside, hanging up this picture is going to make me a bad-ass BMW driver with a don't-mess-with-me attitude.

Tombstone, Arizona

Ever take a picture and say to yourself, "Yes, that's it!" That's how I felt when I shot this image and quite frankly, I wish I could have that feeling every time I picked up my camera. It's the rush, the level of excitement of your mind realizing that you were able to bring your imagination to life. I shot quite a few images on my trip to Arizona, but this is one of three that just made me giddy. I love this feeling - hope it sticks!

Fun with Photoshop.com Mobile iPhone App

Yesterday, I was bored on my flight heading back to Columbus, OH from Tucson, AZ. To entertain myself, I started taking pictures with my mobile phone and doing some quick edits using the Photoshop.com Mobile iPhone app. I even edited a couple of snapshots stored on my phone. I'm pretty happy with the app, especially since it was free. Overall, I'd give the app a thumbs up. It is easy to use and intuitive so you can start sharing snapshots even faster.

Grand-Am at MidOhio

I have about a bazillion pictures to edit from MidOhio. I'm not sure if "bazillion" can even be quantified, but it means I have a metric crap ton. Again... I digress with my random means of measurement. I had a great time shooting at MidOhio. In my opinion, the 5DMKII is totally up to the job of shooting motorsports. As I've said before, if you can't get it in 3 frames per second, you probably aren't going to get it in 5.

Here's a sample from the day:

Kristen & Ryan

I've been sitting on these photos forever. Like almost 2 years come August. Sheesh. I think I owe it to my besties to get this photo set. Some of the pictures in this series I shot. I was in the bridal party so I handed my camera gear off to another wedding attendee to shoot during the wedding. His shots were about 50/50. He has a good eye and for not knowing how to operate the camera, he did pretty well. I have no idea if this is one I shot or Nate shot, but I think it is the best picture of Kristen & Ryan out of the entire series. It's just so Kristen & Ryan.

Old pictures, new edits

I can't believe I'm about to say this, but editing is turning out to be fun. Wow. Did I really just admit that? I've been neglecting a batch of photos for a long time. I'm not 100% happy with my new edit, but I think it is headed in the right direction. Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
