iPhone Photos | Steamboat CO
Was fortunate enough to get to go skiing over the New Years break in beautiful Steamboat CO.. Got a few good snapshots with the phone.
This is Loveland Pass.. just exited the Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70...
I call this Sun Ring.. there was a fine trace of snow in the air that produced a ring around the sun..
Stockholm Sweden
So I've been really bad about updating.. it only means I've been busy working on photographs and traveling a bit.. as you might have guessed from my last post I've been across the pond. Here are a couple from Stockholm Sweden. A truly beautiful city! Our favorite part was walking the streets of Gamla Stan, the old City. More to come...
Polaroids from Paris
Sorry its been so long since my last post, I've been traveling. Shot these with my iPhone on a recent trip to Paris.. There will be many more images to come(from Sweden, Paris and Barcelona), but thought I would start with these.
The Louvre was hands down the best are museum I've ever seen, and arguable the best in the world I'm sure. Thats it for now... back to editing.
Fish Creek
Took this at Fish Creek in Steamboat Springs over the 4th of July. I've successfully transferred the technique of time lapse photography in to the digital age. This was kind of a test, can't wait to do some more!
St Louis Magazine @ Home
Shot a beautiful home for St Louis Magazine @ Home. It was featured in the February issue. You can see more of the images in the new Website Update..
HOME
This is a video I thought I'd share, its about an hour and half so it will take some time when/if you have it. It was a great film with amazing cinematography. It's one of the best environmental pieces I've seen and it really illustrated just how divine and connected all life is. You really get a better understanding for the imbalances that exist because of human activity. Just like all nature conservatory/environmental pieces there are some not so pretty parts.. but this one has a very optimistic period on its end that I enjoyed, hope you do too.
Sprint Studio KC
Shot the Sprint Studio in Kansas City this winter for Continuum. Its a little wintry for spring but thought I'd share it anyway.
Somethings Off
I was in Chicago a while back for a shoot. I was killing some time walking around the south loop when something caught my eye.. It just seemed a bit off to me, at least I knew where the ATM was.
Puerto Vallarta!
Was lucky enough to make it down to Puerto Vallarta this winter to warm up and shoot a Villa along the way. Snapped these while I was there. The Oceanscape was the view from my room. The other two were snapped as I was strolling around. Can't wait to go back!
Community Linc Portraits
I was Fortunate enough to give some time to Community Linc and meet some great people at the same time. Community Linc is a local Charity focused on creating self sufficient families and communities, its this focus that really makes this a great charity. The transformational power of "teaching a man to fish" rather than just simply handing out is great and really does create a more self sufficient community. For more information check out their website.. www.communitylinc.org
Can I still say Happy New Year?
Been awhile since my last post sorry... Hope the New Year has been treating you well.
I was lucky enough to spend the new year in Steamboat CO, took this one standing in two feet of snow...

BensonsLife is Live! | Check it!!
A really good friend of mine launched a new site this week called BensonsLife.com Its a great platform for helping families stay connected!
My user name is MRphoto if you want to connnect on BL! Here is some more info...
****
BensonsLife was designed with the family in mind - it is a social network that gives parents a place to safely share and archive family memories - as well as connect with others in their community. Family is and always has been central to my life, and I wanted to build a place online to help families stay connected. BensonsLife is a secure, centralized platform for connecting families and communities.
*Features include:
Store all photos & send easily to people close to you…
- Customizable family profiles – share family memories, milestones and stories with your family and friends (with space for comments from family and friends); BensonsLife profiles for parents and their children provide family and friends with helpful information like birthdays, personal interests, and contact info.
- Picture archives – share and archive recent pictures with family and friends (with space for comments from family and friends); BensonsLife picture archives provide busy families with one-click sharing of new pictures, integrated into their family profiles.
Daily tools to manage your busy life...
- Event management – inform your family and friends about special events and gatherings; BensonsLife automated guest lists, RSVPs and event reminders take the headache out of event planning. Try it…you’ll like it!
- Community/shared interest groups – organize an existing group of friends and/or meet others in your community; BensonsLife group discussion boards make it easy to communicate with a larger group at once...it is ideal for classrooms, community organizations, walking groups, parent groups, religious groups, etc. – you name it.
- Integrated messaging center - easily communicate with just your family and friends on BensonsLife; no junk mail! BensonsLife message center allows for private messaging to and from BensonsLife members (“Notes” on the other hand are posted to pictures, milestones and family profile Noteboards for just your family and friends to see).
No more mass emails, no more fragmented sharing....BensonsLife takes care of it all for you and keeps everything in one safe place!
A favorite feature is automatic direct notification - let's say you add a new picture to your child's picture archive, a picture from a soccer game. A notification will automatically be sent to those in your personal network on BensonsLife (aka Circle of Friends - the BensonsLife members you designate can see your personal content), thus effortlessly updating family and friends of the latest happenings.
Leaving Las Vegas
Shot this shortly after takeoff out of Las Vegas.. I think thats a solar array in the valley over there, kinda cool.
Wallpaper* | Kenneth Smythe Chair
Got a chance to shoot a Kenneth Smythe Chair at the Wright Auction house in Chicago a while back.. Nothing like shooting from the third rack 20ft up with an army of Eames Molded Plywood Lounge Chairs staring at you!
Autumn Colors
On a shoot for Marvin Windows recently and was fortunate to have a little time to enjoy the vibrant colors of the fall. Quite possibly my favorite time of year!
Barn I-40 IL
Ran past this barn on the way to the Wind Farm off I-40 in IL last summer. Had to stop and see what it was all about.
A little rainy day inspiration!
This is a great video.. I know that thing... it is hard to put in words but this video does a good job of getting you in touch with it, if only for a moment.
Le Arch
Had some time on a midday break last week while shooting for Architect Magazine in St Louis to make it down to the Arch.. A first for me.. Its much cooler up close as compared to seeing from the highway. Definitely an impressive structure with simple beauty.
The Union Station Walkway
Perusing some archives and came across this one.. I like the feel of it with the Caddie parked up front.
Leawood Stables
Another shot from the Leawood Stables.. I get a lot of comments about the horses looking thin in these photos. Yes they are, its kind of sad, but the owner of Leawood Stables takes in abused animals to rehabilitate.
AMLI Longview
Did the new Amli in Lees Summit MO. The interiors were stunning thanks to M Ford & Associates out of Houston.
Wizards win in the 90th min!
Went to the Wizards game last friday, it was a beautiful night with an absolutely beautiful sky... wish I brought my big camera but I guess the point and shoot will have to do.. Good seats too huh? I happened to miss the winning goal in the 90th minute as I was using the facilities... who does that? This guy I guess! Oh and don't worry about that guy on the ground in the corner, he got up and walked it off!
A Big Cloud for a Big Post!
Brawning up the blog bringing you an extra 200 pixels.. sorry I don't have the time to go back and beef up older posts, but from now on expect more to look at!
I love clouds.. this one floated on by while I was maning the grill this weekend.. Good Times!

Alfred Lawless Senior High | New Orleans
Stumbled accross this High school last October in New Orleans. It was basically completely abandoned and intact. Here are a couple from the Auditorium.. it was a little eerie
Orphan Works - What is It?
The Orphan works bill that is in congress right now. Its a bill that is designed to help no one but the large corporations and will severly damage the ability of artists everywhere to make a living.
There is also a great New York Times Article here Little Orphan Artworks

The Wind Farm
On my way to Sandwich IL for a shoot I came across a wind farm in rolling corn fields... I had to stop.. the clouds were too perfect not to. So I got lost in the corn field briefly and got a few good shots.. this being my favorite. Its good to see these types of energy production becoming more common.
Sunset over Lake Michigan
Was lucky enough to experience this sunset after a long days shoot for Lani at the Lake house. You could see the halo of the Sears, AON, and John Hancock from across the lake! It was beautiful!
