And this is why we will prevail.

Our team has bands like Dropkick and all they have is Kid Rock.

Note to Trump and Vance: Don't try to humiliate a man that is stronger and far better than you.

All they managed was to look pathetic, weak and deranged when contrasted with a man that has spent years at war and genuinely loves his country.

It's a lot of fun working in darkrooms, and it can be very rewarding. I miss it sometimes, but being able to shoot 1000+ photos and instantly work with them is pretty nice too.

Photoshop 1.0 was my first version. I'm old and started editing photos in a darkroom.

That relationship isn't going anywhere. Elon hacked voting machines, handing Trump the election and keeping him out of prison. Pretty sure Elon knows he has Trump by the balls, and plans on running things his way.

RIP Artax

Fairs are always a fun place for photography. Was playing with a long exposure on this photo of a carnival ride.

I wish I could get that depth with 2.8, it would make this much easier. Focus stacking is really the way to go for subjects that aren't moving. Moving targets... smaller aperture and good lighting.

Well, that aperture size is just the maximum of the lens. I usually shoot smaller apertures for macro, f8-f11, as it give more depth of field.

This photo is a panoramic focus stack of maybe 300 photos. 30 photos for each horizontal section of the photo, then combined into the final photo.

Sunset at Great Sand Dunes National Park. Photos don't do justice to the size and beauty of the dunes there. I highly recommend a visit if you can.

Took an afternoon hike at Flag Pond, a part of Lake Somerville State Park near Burton, TX, USA. Gorgeous day, but it's kinda barren this time of year. Took photos of the barren-ness anyway.

A Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly in our garden last spring. Looking forward to seeing all of the colorful flowers and creatures again, once temperatures start rising.

My thoughts go out to my favorite city on this sad New Year's Day...

A model shoot from a couple years back at the WPPI conference in Vegas. She was my favorite that year. Amazing makeup, costuming and posing skills.

My favorite city. There's no other place like it. You just have to look past the Bourbon Street party and the tourist traps to see the best parts.

A cow out standing in her field. My neighbors have a small herd that make for good photo ops on misty mornings.

Yeah, I almost did that too. Really easy to forget when so much is happening so fast.

Our weather was gorgeous up until right before the eclipse, then it clouded over. I got several decent shots, but nothing amazing.

It was awe inspiring either way, but I wish they were a little more frequent.

A shot of the total solar eclipse last year. It was a cloudy day, but I managed some photos and I think the clouds added some interest to the shots.

Sometimes the animals see you before you get the shot. Sometimes it works out anyway.
