Start at the very beginning…

It’s a very good place to start. When you read you begin with A, B, C, when you… Is anyone else familiar with that song? Julie Andrews, excuse me, Maria, sings it in my favorite musical – The Sound of Music. I don’t know about you, but I have a tendency to hold off on……

Experimenting with Steel Wool Photography

Oh, the fun of playing with fire… Headed out to the country with a friend this past weekend to experiment with lighting steel wool on fire and seeing what kind of imagery we might obtain. I must say, we weren’t disappointed.  A couple rounds of perfecting the packing of the steel wool in the whisk……

West 7th St. Bridge, Fort Worth TX

Met friends for another bridge outing, this time in Fort Worth, the West 7th Street Bridge. I’m happy with these pictures but didn’t quite get the trailing lights I was hoping for.

The coolest thing about experimental light shooting is you might have an idea of what you want,……
