One of my favorite people in the world came by last weekend and we did some headshots while I tried out different lighting setups.  All shot with an overhead beauty dish and most with supplemental lighting from below.   Thanks Amber.

A Walk With My Dad

Kessler Park in Northeast Kansas City, Missouri 

Opportunity

This is one of those photographs that you have to wait for.   I decided that these trees on the hill would look really good after a good snow.  So, after it had snowed for a while I went to Kessler Park just west of the Kansas City Museum.  I used a 4x5 view camera for the shot and hiked in a big circle so I wouldn't put any tracks in the shot.  This was taken in 1993.  A scanned black and white negative.
