I’m teaching a Pinhole Camera Workshop for the Northwest Florida Arts Association on Saturday, February 26. The class will build a pinhole camera, develop the black and white film, and participate in a “Retro Photo Show” in March at the Art Association’s gallery. If you’re in the area and would like to register (space is limited) or for more info, check it out HERE. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Hope to see you there….
I’m in the midst of a series of portraits of local artists. The first artist, Brandon Pence, is a good friend of mine and a very cool digital artist. Two things I found out about Brandon during this shoot, he likes fire and breaking things.
Check out Brandon’s work HERE.

With the new year starting, in about half an hour, there will be some changes with this blog. One thing I’ve realized, while putting my gallery together, is that I’m stuck in a rut, or maybe it’s boredom, photographically. A friend of mine, in all his wisdom, told me last week that I’ve been riding the “the bird photography success” (I think laurels is the actual word he used) for a while. And honestly, I think he was and is right. So, with the new year, I’m going to force myself to get out and shoot more and also to try new things artistically. I’ll also be teaching some photography classes too. My gallery will be up within the next couple of days and you’ll notice there aren’t many bird pictures. I intentionally left them out. It’s time to move on, at least for a little while. Here’s some of what I photographed today. If you totally hate it, please let me know with a comment.
My first sighting of the summer. It was raining and of course, my camera was no where near, when the hummingbird appeared. And then he was gone. When he returned, about 20 minutes later, I was ready. No fancy setup. Handheld my camera and shot through the window. A few quick frames and he was gone again. Checking my birding book, this is an immature female Ruby-throated Hummingbird. If that’s not correct, please let me know.
