1948 Lincoln Continental

Here is a shot from the archives. For some reason I never got around to processing it. I love shooting cars! They really make great subjects for HDR photography. This was taken at the Run For The Son Car Show in Tarpon Springs, Florida October 2, 2010. The sky was extremely cooperative in presenting me with beautiful clouds to accentuate this image. This car is extremely awesome to see in person. I am a huge fan of chrome and this ride is decked out very nicely with it. The way the sun glints off it is just fantastic!

My Busy Life

Just got home from an awesome evening of good wine, good food and great friends.  I came home with a Third place ribbon for my “Unconditional Surrender” piece as the ‘People’s Choice Award’ at the Progress Energy Art Gallery.  It was their 5th annual artist member’s exhibit.  A show for all the artists to show off their individual works and specialties.  There were lots of wonderful entries and I was honored to be chosen as one of the only top three awards given.  It was a really fun and inspiring evening – wonderful people.  I’m feeling on top of the world 🙂

HOPEFULLY – I’ll start keeping up with my blog more.  Things have been very busy with my photography lately and I don’t seem to have time to fit everything in. I’m loving every minute of it!

I had an opportunity a couple weeks ago to be involved in a charity  auction for abused and neglected animals.  I was contacted and asked if I would donate a piece of my artwork to the Suncoast Animal League to help these little guys out.  It was wonderful seeing so many artists come together to help out a great cause.  The auction was a great success and a lot of animals will now be able to get the help and treatment they need.  It was a wonderful night and I hope to be able to help out a lot more.

Little Boy Blue

At a wedding I shot recently, this little guy liked to “ham it up” whenever he saw the camera. This is one of my favorite shots of him. I noticed the way the sunlight was coming in through the windows and thought it looked perfect.

2011 Jeep Patriot

This is my new baby! It’s a 2011 Jeep Patriot that I just bought at the beginning of May. Been wanting to get a picture of it but I wanted to find the right background. I finally found the perfect spot Saturday June 11th. At the University of Tampa located close to downtown Tampa. I really liked the way the tree in the background framed the Jeep. I love the way the brick cobblestone street and the brick on the building tie in together. I have to say this is a fun vehicle to drive and after only having it just over a month I’ve put over 2000 miles on it! This is a 3 exposure HDR shot on a tripod.

First Baptist Church

Located in downtown Tampa, Florida across the street from the University of Tampa. The sun was just setting and the color caught my eye. I really liked the light trails from the cars passing by and the ominous looking cloud formation over the church.
