The Undy!

As I talked about earlier this week on The Deauxmayne, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I was lucky, with an early detection, and a clean bill of health coming out of taking a couple of months off from life to get healed.

Next weekend, on Saturday (March 31st), I will be walking in the Undy 5000. This is a fundraising walk to raise money to fight colorectal cancer. Given my recent history, I thought this would be a great way to work toward others not having to fight this disease.

If you’ve got a little folding money that’s burning a hole in your pocket, would you consider donating to my fundraising for the walk?

You never know… the ass you save might be your own!!!

Photo of the Week: Moonrise at Half Dome

During my DLWS sessions at Yosemite National Park, the class travelled to Glacier Point to watch the dying sunlight on Half Dome. While we watched the glow from the sunset behind us, we were treated to a beautiful moonrise through the thin clouds.

Photo of the Week: Gateway Arch

This image of the Gateway Arch was shot late in the afternoon, and features a cloud-draped Sun straddled by the arch. I was leaving a Cardinals game at the old Busch Stadium when I saw this brilliant combination of light and dark on the arch.

Photos of the Week: Blue Angels

I’d promised getting some of the Blue Angels images from the St. Louis County Fair posted. Tonight, I’m delivering four of those images.

The first, Blue Angels Delta captures the Blue Angels in a delta formation, overhead and in a turn.

The second, Angels Diamond, was also taken at the fair as the Blue Angels flew overhead.

The third, Gear Down, shows the underbelly of one of the Blue Angels aircraft as it comes in to land.

The last, Slow Diamond, captures the Blue Angels flying low and slow in a diamond formation.

All these images are available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing any of the airshow images.

Photos of the Week: Footprints and Little Crab

Since I didn’t have a photo up last week, I’ve included two images from my trip to the Outer Banks in 2005.

The first, Footprints captures the tracks of a small bird across the sands at the ocean along the Outer Banks.

The second, Little Crab, was also taken on the sands at the Outer Banks. I found this little guy running around on the beach, and he was nice enough to pause so I could take a close-up photo of him.

Both Footprints and Little Crab are available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing Footprints or Little Crab.

Picture of the Week: Amber Waves of Grain

Shot in Arizona, this week’s image was taken during a trip to the Grand Canyon in late spring of 2004. It was taken on the road from Flagstaff to the Grand Canyon and features Humphreys Peak, the tallest point in Arizona. The sun was setting, lighting up the grain in the field in the foreground.

Amber Waves of Grain is available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing Amber Waves of Grain.

Photo of the Week: Tenaya Creek

This week’s image is another of several featured images from my trip to the Digital Landscape Workshop Series in Yosemite National Park. I drove from St. Louis to Yosemite in November 2005 to study digital photography and workflow from Moose Peterson.

This image was captured on the last morning shoot of the seminar. This particular scene attracted me because of the nice diagonal line through the image, along with the contrast of the rocks beneath the clear moving water and the turbulence beyond.

Tenaya Creek is available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing Tenaya Creek.

Photo of the Week: Yosemite Falls

This week’s image is the first of several featured images from my trip to the Digital Landscape Workshop Series in Yosemite National Park. I drove from St. Louis to Yosemite in November 2005 to study digital photography and workflow from Moose Peterson.

Each day, Moose would guide the students through a morning and an evening shoot to capture some of Yosemite’s glory. This image was captured during our first morning shoot around Yosemite Falls. Despite the low water flow in the falls, there was enough spray off the rocks to capture the morning sun and create this beautiful rainbow.

Yosemite Falls is available in a variety of sizes, with an unframed print matted at 11×14, and framed images at both 18×24 (single mat) and 22×28 (double-matted). Please visit my sales gallery on Yessy if you are interested in purchasing Yosemite Falls.
