A really neat thing about doing all of the location work is that I often find myself in another persons work life. From a CEO's office to a welder in a manufacturing plane, it's always so interesting to see how we all work, our chosen vocations that keep us moving forward. This image was made in a large manufacturing plant in Peoria, IL. The intensity of welding, the sparks – so cool.

I often get requests to put together sample sheets for clients and potential clients. I always enjoy this process, because quite often in involves bringing together images from a number of past shoots – this compilation was from 15 different projects, shot a a few different countries at numerous locations. I am pleased with my consistency!

A fun project I'm working on for a client – creating and designing somewhere around 100 different signs for a large office building. Bring it on!

A piece I recently did for an exhibition base on the phrase "let them eat cake." Love shooting – and eating food. The cloth in this piece has been with me for over 25 years – background to many a still life.

Vineyards

Had a great assignment recently – making beauty shots of a whole bunch of different crops in the field. A whole bunch of flying and driving around the big, beautiful American West. These images were shot in vineyards in Washington and California – needed a strong horizontal format for web usage, stron saturated color. Got lucky with sunshine every day!

Sunshine

Beautiful low-angle sunshine today here in he north. I think that's one of the reasons I live here - not only the changes of season, but the extreme changes in light, from long summer days to short winter days with long-reaching shadows.

Hops on a sunny day

From a large project I shot in the west for a large agricultural group. Hops in the Yakima, WA region – big lens, wide open aperture and beautiful backlight. I really like to simplify images when possible.
