Willie Horton

The Great Tiger Willie Horton. "During the 1967 Detroit 12th Street riot, he tried vainly to restore peace. He stood in his Tiger uniform on a car in the middle of the crowd, pleading for calm. However, despite his impassioned pleas, he could not calm the angry mob."

Golf On The Horizon

This was taken at the Flint Elks Lodge during the Randy Wise Junior Golf Open. I used a 70-200 and was shooting as far away as possible so as not to disturb the golfers. I'm showing this photo because I like the way the ball is traveling along the horizon line of the hill. The best part of this shoot was they gave me a golf cart to zip around in.

Mikey on the 4th. What a cutie.

Up, up and ... awe, who are we kidding

Taken in front of a green screen outside of my office last week. Shot on my 1D MkII, with a 24-105L IS. Flashes fired were two Alien Bees, one with a giant softbox. A reflector was used for fill. Basically this was a cool marketing idea for an IT company. I still don't trust red-heads. Sorry, Potter.

Wet Llama

Llama at kids petting farm on the rainiest day of the summer (the best way to fully enjoy the Llamas aroma). As the tallest kid there, I opted for this guy since since the goats seemed overwhelmed. I used a 20mm at 2.8 with no flash and a mix of seeds.

I guess that I am having a total sophmore-year-typed macro phase. I never really got any kicks with diopters or reversed lens in college, so seem to making up for it now. This little funnel web spider was shot on the side of my house tonight using a 50mm f/1.4 with a 36mm extension tube.

Too Close for comfort! This little guy is probably about 1.5 cm in length. He was lite from the side with a 550ex speedlight, offcamera, handheld.
