Another birthday celebration - kids today seem to enjoy a multitude of them each year.  Nothing more fun than a burger and some laughs with a sugared-up kid that's not camera shy…

It's SPRING AGAIN!

That means flowers…

'nuff said

Painting with Light:  a creative photography idea I've only approached once before.  The trick is largely about long shutter exposure (5 to 30 seconds) with moving light or light introduced continually or intermittently from various angles.  It was a lot of fun to paint with several photography friends for a couple hours, culminating in these 5 favorite images (made from 6 - one is a montage).

Never underestimate the characters that you'll meet on the way to a public bathroom,

or the decor you'll find inside the lavatory.
