Frozen Baseball


Sometimes you envision a shot and sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't. Well this summer I was covering a Little League tournament and I had seen a similar shot so I thought I would try it. I set up behind the backstop and shot thru the fence. Well using the Canon Mark II shooting 8frames per second I focused halfway between the pitcher and home plate. Well it only took one burst and I got it!!! What do you think?

Senior Photo

I had a great time with shooting this senior portrait. It took a while for both if us to get in sync and the last shots were awesome!! We first tried the caboose at the boys/girls club then we capped it off at the Old Town Theater. The theater is very cool it has so many textures...brick, metal, wood, painted walls......

Cityscape

Not a "new" shot but is was from August.... This is a shot of the "Cannery" in New Port Beach we were at the Blue Water Grill and I thought I would take a couple shots in the harbor. This one turned out the best and I did some editing with Photoshop to "posterize" it.

For the last year I have been working with McCool Photography their specialty is Equestrian events. This past weekend I spent the weekend covering the Cross Country event at Southern California Equestrian Center formally know as Galway Downs. This is a very interesting and boring event to cover....unfortunately I am assigned a obstacle to photograph. While I am able to get some great shots I am limited in my creativity. Here is one of the younger competitors jumping one of the fences mid way thru the event.

CORR Chula Vista

Championship Off Road Racing otherwise known as CORR www.corracing.com/returned to Chula Vista in August for an action packed weekend. Here are some photos from the weekend.

Carl Renezeder is one of the top drivers in CORR competing in both Pro2 and Pro4 trucks.








The Trophy Kart class is a kids racing class. These Trophy Karts are high-performance off-road go-carts. Featuring a 265cc Subaru engine, 15inches of front wheel travel and 18inches of rear wheel travel and with a top speed of 50miles per hour these little 1/2 scale Trophy Trucks rival even their full size counterparts. While fun for both kids and adults alike the Trophy Kart race put on by CORR was for children 16 years of age and younger.

Just starting out....

Well I have been considering do a blog for quite a while now and seeing as I have a little time on my hands this morning I thought I would get it started. Why do I have time on my hands you ask... Well I am doing my civic duties on jury duty. Actually I am sitting in the jury waiting room and they are kind enough to offer free wireless service.

So my goal it two fold with this blog is to share some of my photos and my vision of photography.
