Sometimes my pictures look boring to me, so I like to add just a little something to make it more interesting. One of the ways I do that is with the radial blur filter. This is the original picture ...
Occasionally I like to add a texture layer to my pictures. It’s pretty easy to do, you just have to create or find a texture to use. If you search Flickr for “free texture” you...
Hello world Trying to get back into the swing of things. My photography seems to have ebbs and flows, and I’m just coming out of an ebb. Things not quite flowing yet, but at least I feel like ...

Cindy and I have released the “Fabulous” collection. Most of the credit goes to Cindy, as I’ve been super flaky about it (and now sick). They can be found on our action site! Nikko...
Hi everyone! Sorry for my long absence, just busy with the rest of my life I’m putting together ideas for a workshop of some sort ~ I’ll announce anything I come up with on here. I took a...
The idea of doing some sort of workshop or something has been kicking around inside my head for a while. I enjoy teaching I think, much more than I enjoy doing sessions/weddings. So, if you think th...
