I wake up and overnight it snowed! In the middle of April! At first I was disappointed, but then saw opportunity to take some photos. Most of my business is studio or location commercial photography. Some event photos, executive portraits, […]
For little over a year, I’ve been flying a drone. I’ve added low level aerial photography and video to the list of commercial photography I provide clients. I have my remote pilot’s license and the drone is registered. Here’s a […]
Here’s a few aerial photos from late fall in SE Iowa. These were taken after doing aerial photography of another location. It’s a little late in the fall, but some of the trees are still hanging on to their colors. […]
A recent trip to a snowy and foggy northern Iowa a few days ago yielded hundreds of photo opportunities. I would’ve stopped and taken many photos, but it would have made me late for Holiday festivities at my mom’s. Everyone […]

When I say old photos, I don’t mean from the 1930’s, 40’s or 50’s. Not even the old photos from when I was in high school or college. I mean the old photos I took when it was warmer, the […]
I took a trip to northern Iowa to Clarion to visit my mom this past weekend. Two days before the area had heavy wet snow and blizzard conditions. As I left mom’s apartment to head back home to Des Moines, […]

A year ago I posted a blog on one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. From lyrics by J. Cole and also credit is given to Marty Robbins. I believe the whole phrase is, “One man’s trash is another man’s […]
My wife and I took our rental car back to the airport at Key West. We used the rental car to pick up groceries and two trips to the airport to pick up our family members coming in from different […]
