Happy Independence Day, America! 🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the birth of our nation and the freedom we have fought for. As we reflect on the sacrifices made by our founding fathers and those who have served our country, let us remember the values that make our nation great - life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Both of my images are on the promotion flyer. The otter and the owl. Come on by for some fun at "Animal World"!

Tattoos have passed from being the drunken mistake of a 24-hour pass to a counter-culture fad and now they are an acceptable way of expression for many people. Many tattoos are intricate, colorful, and very personal expressing individual stories and experiences.

This project is working with the tattoo bearer to discover the fantasy images inspiration and cooperatively interpreting that inspirational vision into a photograph of the fantasy.

I discovered Samantha in a restaurant and upon seeing her tattoo my imagination went into high gear visualizing her in the sea with an octopus and other sea creatures inspired by her tattoo art. This image is that vision brought to fruition.

Wandering through some old images wishing I could get out and shoot. This is Yosemite a couple of years ago. The pool in the foreground was a major breeding ground for mosquitos that were thick as thieves and very hungry. I hung in there to get the shot and paid the price with lots of bites.
