This little cutie is the newest fur-baby to her family. Meet Charley.

These photos were taken to use in the family’s holiday cards. Doesn’t she look like a toy?

Happy Birthday America!

I can’t seem to remember a 4th of July as wet and cold as it was this year. However, when it’s time for the sky to light up, we all seem to forget about everything else and all attention is on the sky. God Bless America!

Relaxation Time

After a hard day’s work on designing my new ‘totally wicked’ blog design, my lovely bride decided to take a bubble bath. These bubbles were quite the bubbles, they just kept getting bigger, bigger and bigger. Yes, these pictures are suitable for all viewers.

How many other people out there have HTML & Adobe Lightroom books next to their tubs? Yes we are nerds and proud of it :).

Once again, thanks to my lovely bride for making a great place to show off my work to all of you. Now get back to work! :)

This is my first attempt of night shooting of cars. I played around a bit with the settings from image 1 to image 2. I kind of like the second one and you?

The Tin Rocket

Randy — Wed, 04 Mar 2009 06:01:00 +0000

This post today couldn’t be anymore perfect for two reasons. Today is my father’s birthday. Secondly, my father use to own a ’55 Chevy very similar to this one back in the day.

I couldn’t have picked a better father. He has been there for me through thick and thin. He has put up with my quirky personality for over my 37 years. Not only has he taught me everything I know about construction, he recently helped me build our gorgeous home that we live in today. He has inspired me to be a great father to my my boys as he was for me. Even though he’s a Packer fan and I’m a huge Bears fan, I’m his number one fan.

Happy Birthday Dad, I love you!

A Lovely Connection

Randy — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:03:00 +0000

Do you ever just get a hunch that you feel strongly about? I was passing through a part of our state earlier this week coming back from a meeting (it was a long road trip). The area I was passing through was hilly and beautiful, with a river running through with large ravines. All of a sudden, I got this hunch that there possibly would be some great bridge to photograph. So as I explored this area like Lewis and Clark, I came across this beautiful site.

This bridge is still active, however it’s one lane with a minimum weight capacity. I did not drive over this bridge but did get out to walk upon it to get some great photographs for all of you, :). I have never been one afraid of heights, but all of a sudden with the side rails looking the way they did, I had a queasy feeling in my stomach and I had to get off the bridge. My lovely bride is not a fan of bridges with any type of wood. I don’t think she would have enjoyed this site like I did, love ya babe.

A photographer friend of mine is posting on her blog What Does Your World Look Like. Her theme this week is BRIDGES, go check it out and post a bridge you have stumbled upon.

The Golden Dome

Randy — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 07:26:00 +0000

The “Golden Dome” is my beloved State Capitol. I have a sincere passion and love for buildings of all shapes, sizes and textures. If one could only see and hear even half of what this building has in it’s lifetime, that would be amazing to me.

The State Capitol holds a place so dear to my heart. I remember this building as a child looking at the beauty, the strength and the detail it portrays. I honestly think this building partially lead me in the path I took professionally and I’m thankful for it :).

The Bridge to the Other Side

Randy — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 06:09:00 +0000

Isn’t it ironic…don’t you think? This big steel bridge sitting on top of wood, lol.

Have I mentioned yet how much I’m going to miss these crisp blue skies. I’ll be posting many more bridges in future posts.
