Books are probably the heart of my life, family and pets aside. I love books I love the feel of books, I love the smell of books, I love to see them in my library that I have in my home. Books are a familiar friend. I shot this image for the group 101 Ways to shoot the month the topic was books. Since I have been pretty bed bound the last 6 weeks, books have been my best friend.

Every so often I get the opportunity to go to a studio to do some portrait shots. This young girl was absolutely stunning.

I was leaving home one winter morning heading out to the office and the day was so foggy. At the intersection I looked up and spotted this young boy walking to the bus stop. I could not resist taking this image.

In November 2015, I decided to purchase the Lensbaby Composer Pro with a Sweet 35 optic from a fellow artist who was selling it. This has probably been one of the best and relatively economical decisions I have made. I have no regrets and have loved the different images I have got with that combination. I have since bought the Soft Focus optic and the Twist Optic. This particular image was taken in the wetlands of a closed off area between to water areas. Very often you will see a gator lying in this area. What I love about this image is that I feel like I am in a speed tunnel.

Black and white city scenes are timeless. While on vacation in Nashville I spotted this lady sitting on the edge of a building. What appealed to me was the quiet of this lady in a busy city street.

We headed out to Denver on vacation knowing it would be cold but not expecting snow. Much to our surprise we woke up one morning to find the city blanketed in a layer of snow. Of course, we had to go out in the cold and experience some form of snowy winter.
