Solitude.

The importance of having your camera with you at all times can not be overstated.  A relativity normal beach can be brought to life in your photography. You just have to catch it at the right time.

The importance of your pictures being visible.

This picture got me a job.  I printed it for myself, and a man saw it when I picked up the prints.  He said, "How did you do that? That's what I want.  Can you do that with some of my pictures?"  

New flyer

This is my new flyer.  I have already found a few places to post it.

I got some temporary business cards recently.  As I design my own new business cards I can use these to hand out, and when the new ones come in these can be my 10% off 'special' personal cards.

My first attempt at a flyer/ad. 

On a mostly clear day, thanks to the storms dancing across the valley, I managed to get a high quality panoramic shot by putting four pictures together. I locked the settings to get the same exposure across all shots. Your looking at approximately 50 miles across from the furthest mountains on the right to dark cloud covered mountains on the far left.

Easy photo tip for the day:
GET CLOSER! -- if you are taking pictures of people; the closer, the better. Forget the cute shoes she's wearing, fancy purse, or his funny shirt. Get close to the face. Ever notice in movies how the camera zooms in during dramatic moments? Because it inspires more emotion. That what you want with your pics.
