"NEW SECTION"
As a public service, and a way to pursue some ongoing projects, I've started a new section of my website devoted to the city of Evansville.

If you are seeking information about Evansville; where to go; what to do; media; government; schools; local bands and artists or favorite locally owned eateries, click the "Evansville Links" button below!

For links and helpful information about Evansville Indiana, Click Here!

One of the things that makes my job so much fun, and challenging, is the wide variety of assignments.
Between my daily shoots for the magazines I work for (News 4 U & Go Team Magazine), my freelance work for other local magazines (Evansville Living Magazine), and shooting for private clients, you just never know from day to day exactly what you might wind up shooting.

Subjects range from sports action, to emotion, both among the players as well as the fans; to shooting bands, portraits, personalities, food, and festivals.

I think as with anything else in life, we all have "good days" and "bad days" in our personal, professional, and private lives and I think the key to being successful is to just work hard and do the very best job you can do wherever you go, and your hard work and passion for what you do will show in your work, and keep people wanting your images!

WELCOME HOME!

On Sunday, November 24, 2008, the troops of the 163rd FA arrived safely back in Evansville from their most recent tour in Iraq.

Many familes will have much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, and topping the list will be the answered prayers for the safe return of every soldier who deployed!

Thank You to each one of our local soldiers who served our Country with honor! We're glad to have you back!

Friday, Oct. 3rd 2008
While scouting for an image for a friend's office, I decided to swing by Dress Plaza and along with a few people preparing for the Evansville Half Marathon and a few guys fishing, was treated to one of the best sunrises in quite some time. Nothing extraordinary about the sky, but with the water temperature being higher than the air temperature, a large bank of steam had enveloped the water on the Ohio River. As the sun rose higher and the steam began to burn off a single tugboat appeared from the steambank, and from the other direction, a barge slowly made it's way around "horseshoe bend".
What a great morning for making some photographs.
Many thanks to Tom Gabe. Had he not commissioned me to make an image for his new office I'd likely have just been home drinking coffee!--Thanks Tom!

Saturday, Aug. 23, 2008 - Ellis Park - Weiner Dog Racing

Kids, Clowns, burgers on the grill, pizza, beer.....and Weiner Dog Racing!
Does it get any better than that on a summer day?
The folks at Ellis park have done an outstanding job providing some great family entertainment for tri-staters!
The grandstand was full, as were the numerous picnic tables, for the Weiner Dog Derby, held prior to the 11 scheduled horse races on Saturday. This was the final Weiner Dog event of the summer. Ellis Park will wrap up their last week of live racing, Saturday, August 30, with another fun treat, Camel and Ostrich races!

James Otto at Woody's!

Sunday, August 3, 2008 - James Otto at Woody's Bar in Evansville, Indiana.
Standing 6'5", James is a big man with an equally big voice. It was a rare treat to see in a small venue, an artist with a tune that topped the country music charts at #1, with "Just Got Started Loving You". (click the title to check out the video on YouTube) Check James Otto's Myspace page.

Thanks to Woody's for bringing James to town!

Pictured left: Tommy Stillwell. If you've seen him play, no words here are needed. If you've not seen him play,
you need to get yourself to a Beat Daddys gig.

Pictured below: The Beat Daddys.
These guys have rocked their way around Evansville, the USA, and the World now, for over 20 years.
If I had to pick the area's top band, and/or the hardest working band, it'd be these guys!

Aug. 16, 2008 - New Harmony, Indiana-
The Fourth Anual Wabash Heritage Paddle Fest

*Click the image above to view a Web Gallery of images from 2008*

I always enjoy shooting the Paddle Fest, and this year was AWESOME!
There were upwards of 400 canoes registered, and mother nature chipped in with one of the most gorgeous days one could hope for, as we got a break from our typical "Dog Days" heat, haze, and humidity.

It was a "Perfect Day". The canoes paddled the 9.7 miles from Grayville, IL, to New Harmony, IN and topped the day off with a nice lunch and some great music by Swan Dive.

Check out Swan Dive at www.swandive.org, or their Myspace Page

This is a great summer event, and between the canoeing, food, music, and various activities and games for the kids, it should be on everyone's calendar!
