Thank You!

What can I say about Kathy, John and now Claudia? The infinite patience and kindness they show to us as they help us color correct, edit, and navigate through the Commercial Photography program helps us immeasurably. I am so grateful to you guys for sharing your knowledge with us, and just being who you are. John's great sense of humor has kept us laughing... no matter how tired we are! We appreciate you guys so much!

White and Light


I loved the play of light on this dewy white camellia. I shot this with my macro lens on a foggy morning in South Carolina.

The Music


One of the joys of Central Park is that you can hear amazingly talented musicians playing for free. This young lady was a joy to listen to, and made a glorious afternoon in the park even more perfect.

To Find Your Prince...


Sometimes you have to kiss a lot of toads. This woman bought hers in New York's Chinatown district for the simple pleasure of letting him go. He escaped becoming "frog legs on a plate". For now at least.

One Little, Two Little....


Three Little Piggies..."hamming it up" and doing a little shopping in the Meat Packing District of New York. One last shopping spree and then...BACON!!!!

The Wish


What is it that has caught the imagination of this little one? Is there something she sees out there that she wants as part of her life? Or is she letting her imagination conjure up all sorts of wonderful scenes?

The Lesson


I caught this moment between a father and son in Central Park in New York. I love the fact that you can't really see their faces...it allows this shot to be about all fathers and sons and the skills passed on from one generation to the next.

Camellia


What flower doesn't look better with a bit of dew dripping from it? This was the real thing...on a rainy morning in South Carolina in some amazing gardens at an old Southern plantation.
