I was in New York City last week for Photo Plus Expo and was invited to the Adobe party and had a great opportunity to photograph St. Patrick's Cathedral. My buddy, Rob Sylvan, and I had decided to go to the Oculus and photograph it after the party We had brought our tripods and camera gear with us not knowing that we were on a rooftop deck overlooking St. Patrick's Cathedral. We were sure glad we had our gear as most of the other partygoers did not bring their cameras or tri

The state of Michigan is the place I grew up as a kid and I was excited to be asked by Jim Cunningham to teach a weeklong class at Great Lakes Institute of Photography (GLIP). When Jim and I first talked I asked him what he’d like me to teach about, as I teach four different programs and Jim’s answer was he wanted me to teach them all in the five days. So the name of the class became the Cornucopia of Photography. This was a really fun class for me to teach, as I was able to

When I was up in Canada for Canadian Imaging I took a couple days and went to Banff National Park. Friends of mine have told me how incredible it was and they were not lying I was really blown away by the beauty of this place. As it was still April and some of the places I wanted to photograph were still closed because of snow and avalanches I was not able to get a few of the shots that I really wanted and will have to go back another time to photograph them. I was able to co

Just got back from speaking at Canadian Imaging in Calgary Canada on two programs I love to present the people. The first was my program on Light Painting, and this program we actually set up three tabletop shoots where I bring in flashlights and have the attendees actually light paint their own images. I always find it interesting when I let the class loose and tell them that they can move the props around and to try to light the set ups any way they like. The next program w

Ok here is the big news; well if you have been around me lately it’s not that big. I am switching from my Canon 5D Mark III to Sony a7r II. There, I said it and it feels good, I feel the weight lifting off my shoulders. I am architectural photographer and have been with Canon ever since I whet digital and sold my 4x5 camera and now it is time for a change. This all started when I had Brian Matiash as a guest instructor on one of our “The Digital Photo Workshops” in Tetons Nat

I am so excited! Just found out that I have the cover image for PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHERS OF AMERICA‘s magazine “Professional Photographer”. I knew it was going to be inside the magazine, but had no idea it was going to make the cover. Have not seen it, but a friend of mine let me know about it. That makes two cover of major photography magazine’s this month. I can’t believe it. I need to thank the co-founder of THE DIGITAL PHOTO WORKSHOPS with me JEFF LEIMBACH for his help
