Lone Goal

Re-post June 2011

Since starting this site in May I have not mentioned a whole lot about my self with the exception of having a newborn.  I have many enjoyments in life, including spending time with my beautiful wife and daughter, playing basketball, lifting weights, working on computers, photography, and work which consists of fixing peoples ankles and feet.  I guess I have to say that I’m very diverse in what I do.

My wife grew up in the country and her father put up a basketball goal in their yard.  She never had interest in playing basketball but always watched me throughout high school (yes, we are high school sweethearts).  Often times we would go out and shoot baskets for fun.  I never thought much about the placement of the basketball goal but it sits out in the middle of a field with a small tree along side it.  The solidarity of this structure interested me and thought it would be a great picture opportunity.

Horizon

I’m typically working on a project or sleeping when I’m on a plane.  I decided to put my shade up and was amazed at the beautiful horizon.  I quickly grabbed my camera and snapped a few shots.

Downtown Chicago

Re-post May 2011

It was a nice clear night and I was looking for a good shot of downtown Chicago. We walked below the Michigan Ave. bridge crossing the Chicago River. This is a 5 exposure HDR. Initially shot in color, I prefer it in black and white. I hope to return to Chicago soon, it’s my favorite city to travel to.
