One of favorite things to do .. Photographing musicians in their element.

But when you get music and words together, that can be a very powerful thing.

You don't get much kooler than this.

The absolute time of my life=)

Literally named after train bandits, these two dudes are awesome. You cannot get much more animated than this pair of brothers.  Eezy Breezy when it comes to shooting these kool kats.Love it when my job is so much fun!

My teacher always told me that I would be a true photographer when my camera became an extension of my arm. I have been embracing that concept more and more. My camera stays with me and is on call for the moment that light glides across that shimmering, mirrored building perfectly. She is ready when a parade of turkeys pass before my car on a busy highway.  Patiently awaiting,  she is grabbed up when I see that  backlit  horse  running through that field of daisies. There have been so many occasions that I wished I had my camera. Those days are over. She was with me when I saw this little red car placed perfectly atop of this van.

I love adding the 80's to my shoots. First "Funky Fresh Kids" session of the year.
