Yellowstone and a little snow…
Winter in Yellowstone is one of my favorite places. The crowds are gone, the landscape is serene, and snow hangs in the trees. Some years we have average snow levels on this workshop, …and then there was this year. We arrived with scattered snow showers and some sun, and left 6 days later with 3 Read More
Island Time
Sometimes it is good just to turn off the phone and disconnect from WiFi. Mission accomplished. I just returned from St. John in the Virgin Islands, this trip was part vacation and part work.

Dealing with the wind.
I’m still cleaning out the dust from my shoot in the desert near Las Vegas. I was shooting with strobes in 30+ mph winds, and using an octabank. I shoot in a lot of windy places, and have developed a few tricks that help dealing with the wind. Give these a try on your next Read More
