My wife is getting better and better with the camera.  Hopefully one day we can do this together as a hobby or maybe as a career.  I hope you enjoy the picture.  Take care! - Dave

I've posted a few images that I liked from the 500 or so that I took.  Please stop by the Photoshoots section of my website to see the images.  I think you'll enjoy them as much as I do. This was such a wonderful experience for me and I am thrilled to have been asked to work their spring event next year.

Take care and remember...Capture a moment in time and enjoy it for a lifetime! - Dave

Have a great Halloween holiday!  See you soon! - Dave

If you find yourself in the market for a new camera, specifically a DSLR, you can't go wrong with either or these two cameras.  I'll surely have both of these on my Wish List!!!

In the last photo you can see that Madison's cousin, Cadence "Cadi" Wielgus, joined in on the fun.  Madison had such a great time with Ben and Cadi both.  It was a fun day and I have plenty of great shots to for us to enjoy. 

Thanks for stopping by and remember...Capture a moment in time; Enjoy it for a lifetime! - Dave

Morgan & Meagan have grown into such lovely young ladies.  It was an honor for me to get this chance to shoot these images.  I hope you like them as much as I do!

It was such a treat to be able to share the softball firled with these young ladies.  They were so cooperative and didn't bat an eye at me and my camera clicking away.  As my way of saying "Thanks", I ordered prints of each of these images and the others and shipped them to Coach Gregg to give to the girls.  I hope they enjoy the pictures as much as I enjoyed taken them.

Yesterday I took part in Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photo Walk.  The particular group that I joined performed the photo walk over in Tampa's Hyde Park area.  Although the group had a run in with "Atilla the Security Guard", all in all it was a great time.  I've uploaded roughly 20 or so images from the walk.  Below are two of my favorites:

The majority of the shots from this photo walk are architectural or landscapes.  I'm not very good at shooting these types of images but I think over all the shots came out ok.

I need to throw a big "thanks" out to John the Mailman who was gracious enough to let me photograph him doing what he does best.  Thanks John for being such a good sport.

If you'd like to see more images from the walk you can do so by visiting my Photo Shoots section of the website. Remember...Capture a moment in time; enjoy it for a lifetime! - Dave

This image was a particularly good one and so I thought I'd re-touch it up using a few new Photoshop techniques that I learned in Scott Kelby's book "The 7 Point System".
