very quick photos

Taking photos of a fire is an incredibly flexible, you can take very quick photos, photos with movement, or anything in between. But if you capture very quick photos, you just might see a dragon!

simply incredible

I took quite a few photos of this sunrise before the sun peeked above the clouds, and they’re great photos, but they simply don’t hold a candle to the all encompassing orange as the light crested the foggy horizon. The scene was simply incredible.

my first supercar love

When I began paying attention to cars, the Lotus Esprit was maybe my second automotive love after the 80’s Monte Carlo SS. While the 80’s Monte Carlo was a familiar sight, I only saw the Lotus in magazine photos – that is, until I began attending car shows.

passing by

I pass by quite a few nature preserves and parks on my normal commute to work – or I can, if I drive a bit off of the beaten path. Last year, I discovered that there is a month or more than the fog hangs thick in the autumn mornings. Stearns Road is a four lane highway, but as it passes between Highway 31 and 59, there are so many beautiful spots.
