Delaware City Fireworks

There are a lot more photos here than I usually put up, but they were dificult to pick out which ones were to be removed to make it shorter. I hope you don't fall asleep while watching. It would make me feel bad. Enjoy the fireworks!!! Click here.

DELEWARE CITY FIREWORKS

Middletown Carnival

Friday afternoon, Larry Wilder and I went to Middletown to take in a carnival and test our photo skills on moving objects going a little slower than when we went to the Monster Mile earlier in the year. We also wanted to take some really cool time exposures at night. I also desided to experiment and only go on manual. When I wanted to take a shot I tested the F stop and shutter speed, deleated the junk test photos and did perty good for a change. This photo is for my lovely wife Beth, because she is a pop corn lover for snacks instead of candy. I hope you enjoy the photos as I did taking them. Click here to see more.

Summit Aviation Photo Shoot

On Wendsday evening I was shooting photos of a wonderful model by the name of Tracy. You could have fulled me that she had never modeled before. She took to it like a duck to water. It was a pleasure to meet her husband and work with Larry Wilder, who originally was the one who invited me to come along and work with him. We also had the good fortune of shooting photos of vintage airplaned from the 50's and where allowed to include them in Tracys' shoot. Check out the wonderful photos of the evening. Click here.

Tommy the turtle had a good time today

It was over cast this morning, but Beth worked all night and needed some sleep, so I took a drive to Bombay Hook Federal Game Reserve. The day became better as it went along. The sun came out. The only problem was the green head flys were large enough for small children to saddle up and ride on them. They pack a mean bite as well. If you go down do not forget the bug spray or you won't even be able to get out of the car. I saw birds today that I have never seen down there before. Take a look at my day and enjoy. By the way tommy the turtle was Tommacena. She was digging a nest to lay her eggs. Click here to see photos.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

An hour at Becks Pond gave me some beautiful shots of some of the bird life living on and near the pond. Enjoy the shots and know that none of these birds made it to my dinner table. Click here

OUR TIME IN THE MOUNTAINS

Treasure Lake is where we have a time share. This is in Elk County, north central Pa. The three of us had a good time, even with the evening thunder storms. Take a look at some of the photos the three of us took. I am going to do this in three parts, because the slide show will be too long. When ready Click here.

THE MONSTER MILE

At 5:30 AM I picked up Larry Wilder and by 6:00 AM we were there. It was a good thing to. Other people were already there, had their tents up, grills going, and their individual beverages were being consumed. ACH!!! At 6:00AM, Not for me. So where were we? THE MONSTER MILE!!! Dover International Speedway, for the Sprint car Race on Sunday the 16th. Everything went perfect from beginning to end. The weather, the people, the parking spot was only 3 gates away from where we sat. The seats 30 rows up directly in front of the exit of pit row. Awsome seats.

GOOSEY GOOSEY GANDER

On March 1st I headed off to Bombay Hook Game Reserve, near Smyrna. It was very windy, and it seemed that only the vultures were enjoying the ride on the thermal updrafts. Neer the Woodland Beach turnoff on Route 9, I came across a huge flock of Snow Geese. I slowed down my shutter speed to show wing movement, however, in doing so the geese themselves were not as crisp in appearence as I would have liked. I did have one bird stay perfectly still for me. I will leave you guessing at this point. Enjoy the windy day. Click here.

Our Tax Dollars At Work???? NOT!!!

During the storm I went out to take some pictures. Big mistake!!! The pictures came out ok but within fifteen minutes my shutter finger didn't know when it was touching the shutter button. It took me almost 20 minutes to get the feeling back. The day after the record big snow I actually had to go into work. The price you pay for working at a pharmacy. So instead of driving to work on time, I left early and took some photos. Enjoy the winter weather without getting cold. Have a cup of tea for me, please.Click here, then on snowfeb photo and then slideshow.

TIRED OF ALL THE SNOW

On a beautiful day, with the sun shining, it was anything but warm. With the temp below freezing and two days after the blizzard that a lot of people would like to forget, it was a wonderful day to get rid of the clostraphobia, grab the camera and drive. I went south down route 9 and found Bombay Hook closed. I still got some good photos any ways. Take a peek at my day, but beware. Watch out for the snow blindness!!!

When 42 degrees is WARM?????

Today was 42 degrees and it felt like short sheeve weather. So I was out in short sleeves. Lumns Pond had ice on it thick enough to walk on, but I was not about to try it. Take a look at the beautiful January 2010 day.

FEBRUARY SHOW PHOTOS

On February 2nd I will begin showing 25 pieces of my photography at the Newark, De. Municipal Building on Elkton Rd. in Newark Delaware. I will be displaying 25 pieces of my work throughout the building for the full month. Delaware Parks and Recreation gives this honor to local artists' to display their crafts and expose their craft to the public. You can even make contacts with people to whom you can sell your work without a commission. Here is a preview of these photos. Two of the three missing photos here are caullages, so you didn't count wrong.

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve at Cornerstone Church is an all day affair. Live animals for the children to a live nativity is an annual look forward to. Three services directed especially for the children and three services for the adults makes for a long day. But when it is all about our savior the long day is nothing compared to what he did for us.

Snow Emergency! What Is That?????

A lovely night to see Christmas Lights. Who would know what the next 24 hours was to bring to the Southern Bear, Delaware area. A snow storm, that was a hum-dinger, was on its way. With a guy that was raised in the Western hills of Pa. behind the wheel, and no idea that a state of emergency was in affect, a Honda Element, armed with a camera ventured out where it shouldn't have gone. I wasn't the only nut case that was out at such a stupid time. Take a peek at what it was like out there while you were cuddled up in your Snuggie, a hot totty in one hand and the remote in the other. Or maybe, if you were lucky, your lovely better half was curled up at your side keeping warm to.
