Morning fishing at Beaver Lake

Driving around before sunrise this morning and ended up at Beaver Lake.  There was a fishing tournament going on and a beautiful sunrise over a bridge.  Nice morning for silhouettes.

Clouds

Clouds are one of those subjects that you see everyday and although they are always different, it is hard to photograph a unique cloud.  Something really different.  I look at them like I look at photos of Barns.  This one struck me as unique.  I made it out West somewhere while on a roadtrip.

                                One of those times where the photos tell the story.

SLINKY

Simple, colorful, graphic.  I shot this for a accounting firm's brochure.  It was shot on 4x5 color transparencies and I was paid $500.  After two years of usage I was able to list the image with a stock agency.  The very first sale as a stock image was for $1500 of which I received $750.  It has sold many times over the years.  You hear it so often, but owning the copyright to your images is so important for your future.

                       VALUE of a PHOTOGRAPH
As a photographer we wonder if there will be a value to our images in the future.  We click away because the scene before us is beautiful and we want to record the moment.  The importance of that moment may not reveal itself until the future.  So we shoot and archive.

DONKEYS

Sometimes as you drive along from place to place, a image presents itself that you have to turn around and go back for.  This is one of those images.  I was not sure they were real when I passed them, but this scene is exactly what I saw.

CLINTONS

I spent nine months covering Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton running for President.

It was a very interesting time and a great learning experience.
