Karla and her family came over in costume to my home studio in Albuquerque, New Mexico for a Halloween family portrait session. This was my first time to photograph 4 people in my home studio. Using a 10' x 12' white Muslin background everyone fit easily and it was all lit up by my huge new 55" softbox! I told everyone to act like your costume and the above is the result!

Kiki and I suddenly left Florida one Saturday night in early November. I had long been wanting to do it, but with such things sometimes they just happen all of a sudden due to the sudden rising of circumstances. We did have a destination though when setting out -- Iowa.

It suits the beach scene well better than modern looking piers and structure on piers.

Recent circumstances forced me to have to get a new car when I was absolutely not expecting to have to do so. This led to me owning a Mazda3 which I have taken a quick liking to and actually feel a little proud of! So I thought let's make a new portrait of all us together.

These fireworks were not the first flashes of light in the skies over Cape Coral on 4th of July 2016 evening. Those were from the lightning sparking horizontally through the clouds. Still, Red White & Boom 2016 started sharply at 9:30pm with only a very light sprinkle. Toward the end the rain did start coming down a little harder and you can see the water droplets that got on my camera lens in the lower right corners of the two photos below.
