We all went to the zoo last Friday evening. Normally I don’t bring out the big camera for these trips but we were there for the last hour and a half of the night. The crowds were gone and we were able to just have a nice relaxing time at the zoo. I hope you enjoy a few images from the night.

Crohn’s Project

As you may know, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease last year.  Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract, causing a wide variety of symptoms. It primarily causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, or weight loss, but may also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis, inflammation of the eye, tiredness, and lack of concentration. Long-term effects can include disability and cancer.

I’m looking for people with Crohn’s to help me with a new personal project. I’d like to tell the stories of people with Crohn’s disease by shooting portraits, video, and audio to give voice to the issues related to the disease. I’m also looking for anyone with other forms of inflammatory bowl disease (IBD) such as Ulcerative Colitis to participate in the project.

I’d like to use this project to help draw awareness to the disease. If any of you have IBD or any of your family or friends have IBD please let them know about this, and invite them to join me in this project.

Thanks!

I’m starting to dip my toes in the world of motion. Here’s a little personal exercise I just finished. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think!

I don’t know about you, but at our house everything stops during the Olympics. Winter and Summer. Here are a few images of Bode Miller and Gretchen Bleiler. I was lucky enough to shoot a celebrity golf event out in Aspen a couple summers ago. They were both great to meet and incredibly nice.

Enjoy.

Yesterday was finally a good day to get outside and do a little testing with a new camera and my favorite little models. Overcast days can provide some great light.
Enjoy!

Here’s a little help for the cold winter days.
