On The Road
July, 2008

Hi and welcome to this edition of On the Road. The May 2008 On the Road article featured a road trip I made to Las Vegas, Nevada this spring. My wife Susan and I covered a little over 2,250 miles during that excursion. I mentioned in the article that the trip had several purposes and while celebrating Bart Conner's birthday was the primary reason for the trip I also wanted to investigate the possibilities for Lightpaintings at various locations in Arizona and Utah. This months article features my return to some of the National Parks and Native American Reservation Parks that I recognized as locations suitable for making Lightpaintings.

Hi and welcome to this edition of On the Road. This months article parallels a companion article in Workshop at the Ranch by featuring images from Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby. Thoroughbred Horse Racing is my favorite sport to photograph. It offers the photographer a wonderful variety of image making opportunities that cannot be found at other sports venues. Dawn to dusk, action to fashion, the Kentucky Derby has it all. So, let's take a look at what my week at Churchill Downs offered in the way of pictures and experiences.

"Aloha" and welcome to this edition of On the Road. "COWABUNGA DUDE!" Did you know that some of the best California surfing is done during the winter months. I didn't know this either, but it's true. Winter Pacific storms bring big waves to the west coast, and so this winter I found myself on the shores of the big blue getting a little taste of the good life these high caliber athletes live. Several jobs unrelated to the coastal craze sent me packing to California these past few months and when I found some spare time I went looking for surfers to photograph. Here are a few images I thought to be "Dank."

Hi and welcome to this edition of On The Road. My schedule really "amped up" to the point of exhaustion during 2007, but "I'm still standing." Here is a look back at some highlights of 2007.

Hi and welcome to this edition of On The Road. This months Workshop at the Ranch article is devoted to images I made with the new Nikon D3 digital SLR camera and its performance regarding sports in low light conditions, but my photographic interests and business have been expanding over the past few years to include other subjects beyond athletic events and so I spent some time using the new marvel of photographic equipment for some additional image making.

Hi and welcome to this edition of On The Road. During my carrier I have had the opportunity to photograph many athletic events and games, but motor sports have crossed my path way too infrequently so when the chance to make images of car racing on the dirt and under the lights came my way I was excited to go On The Road to Pennsylvania. My host for the weekend of RPM imagery was my friend, Bill Anderson. Bill is a terrific photographer and resident expert when it comes to auto racing of almost any kind. I had shot some Indy and NASCAR over the years but had never experienced the dirt track.

Hi and welcome to this edition of On the Road. There have been many wonderful assignments that have come my way over the years. As a sports photographer my job has involved coverage of sports events and world class athletes. Lighting has always been a key element of my work. Arena lighting with sport strobes separated me from many of my competitors early in my career. My pursuit of lighting both in the technical application and artistic application of light has brought me to a place that I had not expected when I first walked into the Olympic scene in 1981.

Hi, and welcome to this edition of On The Road. The American PHOTO Mentor Series Trek to Egypt was in a word ... Exotic. It was my pleasure and privilege to work with fellow Mentor Tom Bol on this once in a life time photographic journey.
