I know, I know!  I don't post near enough on this thing!  But, I have good reason.  I'm working on getting my Spring show completely edited, coordinated and printed.  I never could have guessed what a major effort creating a fine art show is!

In the meantime, I wanted to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The final cut of photos from my trip to Speed Week at the Bonneville Salt Flats are up on my Facebook fan page.  Check 'em!

Wildfires are miserable, but they do provide some really unique light to work with. There's super cool stuff just behind me at this location. You'll see someday....

Here's a link to a trip report I posted on Eastern Washington Adventure's forum-

It pretty much sums up my trip last month in pics and vids.  Can't believe it's been almost a month now!

My week in Nevada and Utah were awesome!  Thanks to my wife and kids for all their support and willingness to cut me loose for it!  I created a good quantity of new work toward my book and fine art projects.  Now it's back to real life.

In case you're wondering what happened to the flow of new photos, here's the deal.  I'm working on a series of shots that will become my first book project.  So, while I've been really busy creating, I can't show the work online.  I figure by September I'll be getting back to creating portfolio images to share on my fan page.  I'll send out a blast when that starts up again.

Roslyn cemetery pics are up!  www.facebook.com/villacresphoto

Roslyn cemetery at twilight tonight.  I should be able to get a couple shots out of that deal for sure!

So, so busy lately!  Hard to keep up with social media when you're rockin' and rollin'.  I did squeeze in some time for a cool water shot last night before the fireworks.  Check it out at www.facebook.com/villacresphoto.

New truckin' pics up on the fanpage from last night's wandering of side roads east of Eburg.

Back from a totally tuned-out 4 days at San Juan Island with the wife.  We had a fantastic time!  I really needed that break.  Fully re-charged and ready to shoot again!

Almost free...Strength returning......Inspiration growing.........Must press on!

Really missing time to shoot for myself.  Only 33 hours until I have time to breathe again...

Oly town photos are up on the fanpage.  www.facebook.com/villacresphoto

I've got a crazy week on tap, so I may not put anything new up for a while.  But, I'll be back at it again soon.

Had a great weekend in Olympia.  Pamela accompanied me as I prowled around downtown Saturday night.  They've got quite the interesting population milling around after dark!  Much stranger than I would have expected.  I'll get some pics from that shoot up later this week.  For now, I just posted up shots on the FB fanpage that I created last Thursday night.  Enjoy!  www.facebook.com/villacresphoto

Just posted some neat pics of a classic Volvo for sale here in the Burg.  Despite needing serious restoration, it's still got style.  www.facebook.com/villacresphoto

I once had an instructor who liked to say, "There are no boring subjects, only boring photographers!".  I remind myself of that when heading out to shoot on cruddy days like today.

Vids and photos from the day are up on the fanpage now.  I'm going to bed!

Had a fantastic day scouting from here to Palouse Falls and back.  Found some awesome locations and artifacts.  Now I just have to go back at the appropriate time of day...

Alright campers, tunnel pics are on the fanpage!

I just posted a video of tonight's location to my youtube channel.  Here's a link-

It's been a ridiculously busy week at work.  I've just got to get out and shoot for myself tonight!

It was way too nice at the river today!  So, I blew off serious photography for the day and just played with the family.  It was great.

Happy Mother's Day!  We'll be heading to Frenchman Coulee today.  It's bound to turn up some cool imagery.

Oops!  Screwed up the link.  Here you go...

Old Cat hardware on display in a new album on my fanpage this morning.  Check out the yellowjacket!

Looking good for late light today.  Keeping my fingers crossed!

Dang.  The light wasn't right.  Weather man says tomorrow will be better, so I'll try again tomorrow.

Ha ha!  Got one.  That will make it a lot easier for people to photographically levitate.  Now it just takes good acting.

I could really use one of those little workout trampolines today!

Bus shots are up on the fanpage, check them out.

Here's a video of my raw material for this evening's shoot.  All the details are in the video description.  Can't wait to PS the shots and share them!http://youtu.be/1lhEyQTwcw4

A fantastic evening!  Beautiful light and a killer subject.  On top of that, I made some new friends that share my love of 40's style.  Watch for photos on my Facebook fan page tomorrow.  I'll also have some new videos on my youtube channel.

Inspiration for tonight's shoot.  I know not what I shall do, but, I get the feeling I'm going to like it.

Monday morning.  Maybe not the best day to start a blog.  Oh well, it's on my 'to do' list so I'm doing it anyway.  Standby for more interesting stuff as it happens!
