Stainless Steel

I was asked to shoot for the first annual Friends of Israel banquet in Dayton Ohio a while back, while I was there I came across this image. I call it stainless steel because that is what it is a stainless steel table top with really cool lines swirled into the steel from a grinder then polished to a nice shine.

On another note, I am sorry that I have not been keeping up with my blog. I am really thinking that I am going to have to go back to a daily blog, otherwise I just don't think about it enough and I don't keep up with it. So don't be surprised to see a daily blog again in the future.

Rainbows of Rock, Tables of Stone.

I mentioned in a past blog post that I was submitting some of my photos to a publisher for a possible book cover. I am excited to say that they chose one of my images for the cover of their book and it is available for purchase. It is only being sold in stores locally but it can be ordered by anyone via the web or at your local bookstore. If you click on the title of this blog it will take you to the publishers website where you can see the book and order it at a 30% discount until Sept. 1st. I am not the author of the book I just have one of my photos on the cover.

Summer Wishes

I couldn't wait to post this image, I really like it a lot. It could have something to do with the model as I am partial to her but I just love this image. This is not the same dandelion from yesterdays image but it was one of the ones that I found that day. It was not quite as big as a baseball but it was very close in size. I call this image Summer Wishes or Wish Upon. I hope you enjoy it.

Dandelion Sunday

I took my camera to church with me this past Sunday as after the morning service we have our small group fellowship time and this was our last official time to get together before we take our summer break. I wanted to get a few photos of the group as we had a cookout. While we were checking out the church garden I found this dandelion flower that had gone to seed. I have seen many dandelion balls in my time but never any this big before. This things was the size of a baseball, I had to take a few shots of it. So I thought I would share this one with my loyal followers. I have another image from the set that I will share with you later.

Barkcamp State Park

I am sorry that it has been a while since I have posted in my blog. I have been extremely busy with family lately. We recently had our first camping trip of the summer and we camped at Barkcamp State Park, another park in the Ohio State Parks. It was not our first choice it was pretty much our only choice. We waited to long to make our reservations and being a holiday weekend we were lucky to get a reservation. This old barn is in the park and it houses the nature center. This is probably the most scenic part of the park as the barn is surrounded by a couple of very old log cabins, a well and an old outhouse. I hope you enjoy the picture, I will try and blog again soon since I have not blogged in a while.
