Yuma, AZ Dusk



I dug this one out of my archives. I took this with my first digital camera, a Canon G1. back in the day it was a great camera. I took several shots of these mountains over the course of an hour as the sun was setting. A half hour prior to this shot the sky was electric blue with a full moon rising. The array of colors in the desert is simply stunning as the light changes.

Within Eye Shot



I was outside Barcelona Bar in New York with a friend of mine when I noticed the large blue neon shot glass in the window of the bar was reflecting perfectly in her eyes. I thought it was an interesting shot... so I made her pose and look in different directions until I had the one that worked best. This was tough as the camera was hand held and the shot was very dark, but the Canon IS helped quite a bit. The colors in this shot are true and there was very little manipulation other than croping and contrast.

New York Fireworks



Happy Independence Day! This is a photo I took on last year's 4th. Today is cloudy so this year may suck for photo ops.
