Valentine's Engagement

Valentine's Day ~ for some, this is just another day on the calendar, or as my "single" friends like to refer to it; Singles Awareness Day... but for Sheri and Russ, Valentine's Day is a special day, it is the day Russ pledged his love for Sheri and the happy couple got engaged.

This was another fun shoot, and again, I had my beautiful wife Annie assisting me. The day of the shoot, it was overcase, cold and raining off and on. We had to move quickly and shoot between rain storms. The sun broke through the clouds just long enough to capture some stunning engagement images!!

The Sandbox (part 2)

In "The Sandbox" part 1, I was talking about my love for photography and how it keeps me coming back for more, like a child returning to their sandbox. Well, here we go again... I'm returning to my sandbox with another picture of an old truck. It's kind of funny in a way, but for me, these old trucks tell a story of how life was not too long ago. Maybe it was a harder life back then, or one of excitement and adventure, but whatever the case may be, there is a story to be found in these old cars and trucks of yesteryear.

The picture of the old fire truck (above) was taken some time ago at Goldfield Ghost Town, which is near the Superstition Mountains, just East of the Phoenix Valley in Arizona.

The Superstitions are another one of my favorite places to wonder around and explore through photography. I have shot there many times, everything from Landscapes to Family Portraits, and every time is like a new adventure, like a child returning to their sandbox.
