    One of my all-time favorite shots of the Salt River Wild Horses in Arizona! I vividly remember this moment like it was yesterday, even though it actually happened three years ago. Picture this: it?s a scorching summer day, the temperature just over 100 degrees, and I?m wandering through the desert desperately searching for these majestic creatures. Suddenly, I hear the unmistakable stomping of hooves getting closer and closer. I know they?re near and ? yep ? they?re running full speed ahead.I

    Blue Hues of Stillness and SteelDuring a quiet afternoon walk along Tempe Town Lake in Tempe, Arizona, I found myself drawn to a moment of unexpected beauty that stopped me in my tracks. On the far side of the water, the railroad bridge stood sturdy and unyielding, its steel beams cutting a sharp contrast against the endless blue sky. Yet it was not the bridge alone that captured my attention, but the way its image was reflected, perfectly framed, in the windows of the Tempe Arts Center.

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
