Traveling on the wayback machine, I found this stunning portrait of Mary from 2011. I used a neutral density filter to cut back on the studio lights so I could open the lens getting the narrow focus depth.

A lucky shot! Ball speed around 100 MPH, racquet head speed near the same but in opposite direction. What do you think the chances are of getting the shot?

Squash photo from 2007-09-22 Club Rancho San Fransisco, Quito, Ecuador as dug out by the wayback machine. I was laying on my bellie shooting through a small front wall window about an inch above the floor.

Lucky shot? Yes, Kane (The Racquetball GOAT (greatest of all times)) looks great, all the way in to his eyelash, but look at the ball!

An old favorite from 1970 when I was on R & R in Hong Kong from Vietnam. As you could imagine, seeing me was out of the ordinary for these school boys and I was mobbed by them while my camera clicked away. Tri X Pan, and I screwed up the emulsion in the dark room.

Morning dustup in Botswana for a perch between a Lilac-Breasted Roller and an African Grey Hornbill. Believe it or not the Roller won.

Every time I have a chance, I re-open a scan file of a slide taken on April 19th 1978 at the birth of my daughter, Lisa, and try to improve on past restorations. Happy birthday Lisa. I love you. #photography #baby #birthday #Nikon

This favorite Easter photograph was taken in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT), a 314.4 sq mi. plot of land that was carved out much like Washington DC was. Church of St John the Baptist was consecrated 1845 in Canberra ACT, Australia.
