An abstract. I was making salad dressing and the colors really blended. Get it?

This time of year there is a different farmer's market everyday around town; great fresh food. I love the look, colors and textures of real food, just harvested (and they taste great too).

Stopping the Break

This is a follow-up to my billiard post last week. I caught Scottsdale Skinny's break in a game of nine ball. He went on to sink 3 balls on the break and ultimately won the game.

An Afternoon Visit

I had the chance to visit with my wife's aunt recently. She was the sweetest lady and we had a wonderful afternoon. I got to hear some great stories about the family and old neighborhood. The time spent with her was a real treat.

Snowball Fight for your Life

Last winter, my wife and I took our nephews to the White Tank mountains to snowboard / ski for their first time. After a long day on the slopes we got to the cabin and an all out snowball fight erupted. I was able to get a few frame in before I was forced to put my camera away and defend myself, as they all decided to gang up on me.

While my wife and I were walking on the boardwalk in Philadelphia over the summer, we stumbled upon this cool art pice. These metal stick people were about 40 feet tall, enormous. I thought they would make a beautiful silhouette in the setting sun.

Pabst and a campfire go together like chocolate and peanut butter.

I took this woman's portrait at a park near my house. Not exactly sure why she was dressed up; I guess it was a Halloween hangover.

King Cobra

This is one slick automobile. I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with this car doing a series of shots for a book. The engine rumble shakes you to the core.

Scottsdale Skinny

I had the opportunity to photograph the legendary Scottsdale Skinny playing billiards. He was in the process of running the table when he let me hop in to snap off a few frames. He told me if I gave him a picture for his Facebook he would play me in a game of 9 ball.

Jazz Hands

Going to a club for live music is always a lot of fun and you never know what you will discover. Recently we watched an excellent jazz band perform and I was mesmerized by the saxophone player's hands. I caught this image while he was performing an improvised solo.
