Personal Favorites

While I'm on it...here are some of my personal favorite landscape photos that I've done in the past few months.

An abandoned barn near Woodward, PA

A flower after an NC rain storm: Brevard, NC

A tree right before the storm: Tampa, FL

Sarah Ann

For those of you who don't know Sarah...she is AMAZING! Toughest kid I know. Sarah copes with life in her own little ways. She hates to dress up, loves to read, and is open minded to whatever it is you throw at her.

So I threw some makeup on her, put her in a dress, and took some photos.

Dedication

I'm starting a blog until Stephen gets my site going.....slow ass :) Just a way for me to share my travels and photography with friends, family and strangers.

I found my love for photograhpy as a child following my grandfather around, in and out of his dark room. I think this is where my "on the fence" attitude about editing photos started. It was always a big surprise to see how the photos we had taken together came out after being developed...no digital peeking, no editing. And I liked the element of surprise. Photography has come a long way and been taken to a whole new level with the technology of photoshop. It will take some time for me to get used and learning to edit.

With all that being said I want to dedicate all my photography to my grandfather. He was and is my inspiration in every photo I take. Before he passed away he gave me all his cameras. 35mm manuals. They mean more to me than my snowboard (and thats saying a lot!)....

So here is to Bob Skogen..my inspiration.
