A Regional Transit System bus hurries toward Century Tower in the heart of the University of Florida campus. Captured with my iPhone camera.
I captured this image on horseback as we were crossing a stream in the Andrew Molera State Park near Big Sur, California. The ride took us through mountain passes, across beautiful meadows, on the edge of steep ravines, and down along a magnificent secluded beach.
Here’s a portrait made with my new Rosco gels. I chose a blue gel for the rear strobe and shot it through horizontal wood blinds from the outside.
I tell my wife that if you want to provide instant cool to a movie just add motorcycles and helicopters. No helos in this post, but we do have some really cool motorcycles. I shot these AMA and CSS racers running practice laps at the JenningsGP circuit in North Florida. I love motorcycle roadracing; it’s a great sport that demands supreme skill and courage. With serious lean angles and triple-digit speeds, it’s one of the ultimate tests of man and machine. No roll cages for these guys!
I like getting the opportunity to shoot for a variety of clients and subjects. I think it makes a well-rounded photographer with the experience to handle any situation. Want some killer bridal portraits on a speeding motorcycle? No problem.

Taylor, Geoff, and Paulie would be really grateful for these shots! I’m not sure about Paulie, but Tay and Geoff are doing really well so far this season. They’re both in AMA Pro. In the last race at Fontana last weekend Geoff finished 3rd and Taylor was 9th.
Great shots!

Thanks, Kendrick. Good to hear from you! Hope you’re doing well. Regarding Paulie, I heard that he had a great finish at Daytona–second place in ASRA Superbike.
Mike and Stacey were married in sunny Gainesville, Florida at the Sweetwater Branch Inn, a beautiful bed and breakfast complex featuring two restored Victorian homes, a lovely garden, and Koi pond. The November weather was perfect. I enjoyed documenting their story and offer them best wishes on their life’s journey together!

Great pictures!!!
We recently returned from Quebec City, which is celebrating its 400th anniversary this year. For seven days we strolled the streets of the old city, discovering its many wonders and meeting its polite, hard-working, and hospitable citizens. Quebecers have a unique history and culture dating back to the city’s founding by Samuel de Champlain in 1608. Much of the original French-style buildings still exist in the old city, and the French language and culture still prevail. The city is a delight for any Francophile. As an experiment, I left my pro gear at home and took along only a compact point and shoot (Canon G9) that I operated on manual.

Loved your pictures, We just returned from Quebec City Tuesday. I feel in love with the haunting sound of the saxophone player. I didn’t buy his cd but wish I had. Looking at your pictures you captured him on film. Do you know his name ?

Thank you, Carol. Sorry but I did not ask his name–just talked with him a bit about music.

Scott and Jessica exchanged vows at the beautiful Baughman Center on the University of Florida campus in Gainesville and held their reception at the Haile Plantation Country Club. It was a joy meeting all their friends and family, and I was thrilled and honored to document this milestone event in their lives.
