Week 14 - J. Kayne Keele: The Man, The Myth, The Legend

Hello again everyone. This weeks post is gonna be a quick one. Whenever you get a block like I did this week, its always nice when you have something that presents itself. All you have to do is grasp on to it. My opportunity this week came in the guise of a photograph for my brother in law Jason. All that was needed was a simple professional photo, what came of it was pure gold. Jason was set in his usual charismatic, humorous ways which led to a couple of shots that just screamed for more. So as we kept going, I just made sure to keep snapping away and this weeks post is what follows.

I must give a huge thanks to Jason for being a great model as well as both my wife Samantha and Jason's wife Renee for being such great lighting assistants.

Project 365 - Week 13 "Zoo Faces"

Hey everyone, its that time again. Sorry for such a late post but I'm here with the goods. Once again I put my focus this week on a little trip that I made. I had some family in town and we went to the World Wildlife Zoo here in the Phoenix West Valley. It was a great trip as I had never been and Samantha had never been since the aquarium was added. There are definitely some really cool animals that they have.

On to the photography. I love photographing animals. However, it is a challenge to photograph them in cages, tanks, etc. Dealing with fences, glass, reflections, and other man made objects can be pretty hard. With all of that said, I was super excited with some of the shots that I got. I stuck pretty much with my macro and telephoto lenses. Some animals didn't want to cooperate and some did. My favorite had to have been the red tailed lion (first photo) as he/she absolutely loved my presence and as odd as it sounds I had the best connection with him/her. With that said, please enjoy.

365 - Week 12 "Tucson Architecture"

Hey everyone. I came to the conclusion that I should stop in and reveal this past weeks photos. My wife Samantha and I made a trip down to Tucson so that I could photograph some of the architecture around town. It was a wonderful trip as it was a walk down memory lane for me being back in Tucson and at UA as well as a chance for us to meet some old friends of ours.

The trip was a total success, even though I am chomping at the bit to go back for some more. The architecture around Tucson, especially on campus at UA is incredible. There are even a lot of new buildings there that are new since I left. One being the new Rec Center which I am envious I never had the chance to use. Well, I hope everyone enjoys this weeks selection.
