As Time Goes By...


Stopped In Our Tracks
It's mid-September and Fall is just around the corner.  The Pumpkin Spiced Everything is already showing up on every street corner and the recipes for its uses are being shared with the efficiency of a Civil Defense siren in the 60s.

What else is there to this whole Fall thing?  Well. around our house one would think perhaps Halloween.  Actually, this years Halloween costumes have been finished and hanging in the closet ready for use for over a month now! Of course, that leaves our favorite topic - Photos!


Last year, we took off for a 5 week and nearly 6000 mile road trip with 3 cats and our 30' 5th wheel. These are a few of the never before released images I took on the trip.  

What are you doing this Fall?  Do you have any favorite events coming up?  Perhaps a weekend Fall Festival, Oktoberfest, Renaissance Faire, or just a drive through the countryside?

Wherever you go to just get away for a while and enjoy the colors, smells, and sounds of the season, take a camera along and take it out for a little walk!  These are all moments in life that you will never see again!  The colors and clouds will always be different.  The winds will shift and the water levels will change, giving the scenes completely different feels.  The sun will rise and set on a different world every day.  Save a few memories of what you saw and did!

Wherever you go and whatever you do, keep the glass clean and the shutters clicking.

Oh, and in case we're on the road somewhere shooting, Happy Halloween!

The 2019 WPPI Photo Expo, Revisited...

Image
The 2019 Wedding and Portrait Photographer Expo in Las Vegas is now behind us.  Two and a half days of non-stop opportunities to gain knowledge and networking with professionals and avid hobbyists is a description that could be given to summarize the event. That would be an extremely short sighted statement that barely touches the surface of an event like this.  All of the major equipment manufacturers of cameras and lenses, as well as major vendors and accessories have large displays, live seminars, and plenty of equipment for you to hold, shoot, and experience unlike anywhere else you could imagine. As if that is not enough, consider that you are given many opportunities to take photos of models that are there for your use.  Weddings, portraits, family portraits, wedding receptions, all set up with their own studios just for you! And after three days of miles of aimless wandering, you might want to change shirts, they make sure you have something clean to wear by handin

Photography Guru Millionaire?

What is a Guru? Fair question!  According to Google, gu·ru    ˈɡo͝oro͞o/ noun (in Hinduism and Buddhism) a spiritual teacher, especially one who imparts initiation. synonyms: spiritual teacher, teacher, tutor, sage, mentor, spiritual leader, leader, master;  swami, maharishi "a Hindu guru and mystic" each of the ten first leaders of the Sikh religion. an influential teacher or popular expert. synonyms:  expert, authority, pundit, leading light, master, specialist;                      informal whiz "a management guru" Okay, so a photography guru must be a Master of Photography? That makes sense to me.  Apparently, it also makes sense on the website  GuruShots .  Here's how they describe themselves - GuruShots is a platform for people who love taking photos.  It’s fun, motivating and helps you improve Started just over 4 years ago, they set out with the following Core Beliefs - ANYONE CAN TAKE

One House and Two Photography Gurus!

Image
The last half of 2017 brought many challenges, but getting everything back on track for 2018 was the plan.  As many of you know, Julie Everhart, my wife, and I have been competing on Gurushots for almost 4 years,  We actually got involved with their third challenge, and each began building portfolios of highly competitive photos. Beginning in December of 2016, Gurushots began holding exhibitions in various major cities around the world.  Both Julie and I were chosen to provide a photo in the first exhibition, and have both been seen in print and digitally in exhibitions all over the world.  At the time of this writing, we are both currently being shown in Belgrade, Serbia during a "Nightlife" exhibit. Julie competed hard and fast, and worked her way up to the rank of Guru, the highest honor on the site, over 2 years ago.  Since joining, we have both won competitions, been published in numerous articles, and seen many exhibitions. This past month has brought
