The opening went very well with lots of energy and great attendance.  My sister Nicole came as well and created this video of the evening for me.  I think it's very well done and wanted to share it with you all.  http://youtu.be/TVqzhwKggSs

I came across a unique rig recently.  It's a Mack pickup that appears to me to be of 1930's vintage.  Man, it could be awesome to get on the road again!  Of course, you'd have to dig it out of it's resting place where it's obviously been for a few decades.  It appears to have had about 6 different paintjobs over it's lifetime, making for very cool patina.  Here's a sampler...

Putting the finishing touches on the show this afternoon.  The official opening will be during the First Friday Art Walk, May 3rd, from 5-7PM.  The venue is CWU's University House located at 211 East 10th Avenue in Ellensburg, WA.  All are welcome!

All my prints are finished and the show preparations are going well.  The name of the show is 'VILLACRES 113' and I'll be sure to post up dates as soon as they are firm.  

The girl and I went out shooting this afternoon.  It was great!  I've got the results posted up on my Facebook fanpage as well as a new Flickr page I created.  Check them out at www.facebook.com/villacresphoto or www.flickr.com/photos/villacresphoto/.

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
