Small collection of past design + architectural photography. Each shoot is executed with the same intent, to deliver quality and exceed the expectation of the client!

The Images were taken for the Queen City Club in Cincinnati Ohio. This is a private dinning facility located in the heart of Downtown Cincinnati.

This image was taken along Naples Florida shoreline and the Golf Coast. Minutes before sunset.

This was a family trip with a 24 hr excursion to the Everglades.  So all in all I was very limited on when and where I got to shoot. In most cases I arrived late and left early which is never a good approach with landscape photography.  I came away with a few good images nothing to get overly excited about, but then again I maybe to critical (always excited about feedback). The Canon 5DII worked fantastic and I realize I need to bring along extra weight for my Carbon Fiber Tripod when shooting along the surf. I’m use to my old tank that barely vibrated when a rouge wave would crash into the legs. Enjoy!!

Additional architectural photographs required for Korda’s marketing efforts. This Community Tissue Services Center is located in Dayton, Ohio.  The Community Tissue Services Center was established to meet the needs of the local surgeons and create awareness of the importance of tissue donation for transplantation. CTS has become one of the largest tissue banks in the country, and the largest non-profit provider of skin grafts to surgeons for severe burn patients.

Photowalking is the act of walking with a camera for the main purpose of taking pictures of things that the photographer may find interesting. Hmm, you learn something everyday.

I have Google and Wikipedia to thank for that definition, and my good friend Ted Orr for the invitation. Although this could be classified as my 500th photowalk it was my first within the Cantwell Cliffs area of Hocking Hills State Park.. Having been to Hocking a few times i’ve never heard of Cantwell Cliffs, so this was a good opportunity to scout out some new areas to photograph. Our weather was horrible, but again there’s a big advantage of having some familiarity with a location for when you return. We knew the conditions were not optimal, but getting out for some RR, regardless, was a welcomed event. Hocking Hills is typically pretty busy in the summer and fall months. There is plenty to do and see with all the falls, Old Man’s Cave , and trails. However, for us photographers Hocking Hills can be just as beautiful during the winter. I think Ted and I came away with a new area to target this winter as we plan our next PhotoWalk…..Hike with Camera!! Enjoy, some of these images were taken last year.

Recently, I was asked to photograph a media day event for an Ohio company called Millennium Reign Energy. MRE manufactures Hydrogen Generators and Fueling Stations. Imagine heating and powering your house, eating, and driving your car…all with Hydrogen created from renewable energy. The Future is Here! General Motors was on hand to introduce their Hydrogen powered Fuel Cell Vehicle. The two companies are working together to prove that Hydrogen is the best alternative to fossil fuels.
Along with General Motors and MRE I welcome a cleaner and greener future!!

A few months back I was able to get away for a few days and travel with another landscape photographer Daniel Ewert. Our original plan was to spend 5 days photography Zion National Park. However, due to heavier winter snows and warmer spring weather the water in the Narrows was running a bit fast so portions of the park were closed. *Note: Best time to visit Zion is in the Fall. At the time this was a big disappointment because the Narrows is one of the bigger draws for photographers. Considering we now had some extra time on our hands we decided to head west to Vegas and north to Death Valley. Our decision to make the long drive was well worth it as we had phenomenal weather in Death Valley producing some great images. The extra water in Zion also add some drama in the Subway section of the park as well. So all in all a great trip and two National Parks crossed off the list! Enjoy my images.
