It has been a wonderful change of pace to be home for the last couple of weeks working and catching up with friends. Given the beautiful weather, I was able to attend some of the outdoor functions that make Huntsville such a great place to live this time of year. But like a gypsy, the calling of the road has beckoned again.

I had the pleasure of traveling to St. Louis for a few days to instruct at a photographic workshop. The events are jammed packed with students eager to learn, teachers eager to teach and beautiful models looking to showcase their talent in front of the cameras. All in all it was one stellar event.

When traveling and teaching, it is some times difficult, on the tight schedules we maintain, to take advantage of any sightseeing. Anyone that has ever visited St. Louis knows there is plenty to see. No visit to St. Louis would be complete without getting to see the “Arch!” It is the majestic icon that defines the city’s skyline. So with a little time on our hands between workshop and dinner, we grabbed our cameras and headed across the river to capture the glow of the skylines evening lights.  And, as if to add a defining touch, a commercial jet chose to pass over the city at the exact moment.

Enjoy your week.

How wonderful the weather has been and with so much going on this past weekend, I hope you were able to get out and enjoy it.

Last week was a great week for me with shoots and catching up with friends. Since I have been back in Huntsville, I have not made much time to get out and play. I have witnessed most of the splendid sunsets, while driving in my car. So, with the potential of another stellar evening glow on Thursday I grabbed my cameras and headed out to see what just might be in store for me. As promised, with all the clouds in the blue sky, the sunset provided a spectacular array of golden hues reflecting off of them. Just as I was about to pack it in and head home, I heard the very beautiful and harmonic sounds of Canadian Geese announcing their arrival. It was just the perfect addition to another beautiful show by Mother Nature.

Another week in Alabama and the weather could not have been more perfect. I hope you were able to get out and enjoy the weekend, as well as, take in some FOOTBALL. Fall like temperatures and college football, it just does not get any better than that.

This weekend was a very special weekend with the tenth anniversary of 911. For most of us, we have a firm vision on where we were and what we were doing on that horrific morning. I was backpacking in the southern sierras and was unaware of the event until I hiked out the following Friday. It was a very revealing moment to come face to face with the imagery of the event, even more so 5 days after the fact. The good news is, as a nation we have moved on but always with a thought of remembrance for those that perished that day, as well as, for those that have fought the battle to maintain our way of life and our freedoms. It is impossible to think about that day without seeing the imagery of the moment and all the images that followed from the liberation of Iraq. Hopefully we are a stronger and a more resilient nation.

While teaching at a workshop in Chicago, a group of us ventured in to Gary, IN to a place of esteem reverence and notoriety. It is the remains of the once glorious City Methodist Church built in 1926 at an expense of over 1 million dollars. The vacated church was heavily damaged by fire in 1997 and has been left as is with its future in question. Most who visit the church today do so with camera in hand, looking to capture the majestic beauty of its current state of decay. Standing in the sanctuary and looking at the architecture, you could not help but hear the angelic voices of praise that once filled the hall. With all the decay brought on my weather and vandals, she still stands tall and proud awaiting what destiny has in store.

If it is not Hurricane Irene causing issues on the eastern seaboard then it is Tropical Storm Lee dumping tons of rain on our Labor Day hopes. After an exhausting week of shoots, it was quite comforting though to have a day off and just listen to the rain.

With all that has happened in the last few weeks, you have to wonder what Mother Nature still has in store for us. The Outer Banks is still left with no access to the mainland, other than by ferry, and access to the island by non-residents is still very much in question. With Tropical Storm Katia making her way up the east coast, OBX could be vulnerable to a devastating 1-2 punch.

Last week I was blessed with 6 days of photo shoots in the Tennessee Valley, which allowed me to keep my mind off of the Outer Banks and the relief program they were getting underway. One of those shoots, a 3-day photo assignment with Janson Communications had us traveling to three military installations to photograph the activities of the Army Materiel Command. If was absolutely amazing to see all they are doing to support of troops overseas. It was even more amazing to be allowed into the areas to photograph the men and women refurbishing all the tanks, helicopters and weapons that the troops use to fight the battle for our freedoms. As we left came to a close on Thursday, I commented to my assistant that this is probably as close as we will ever get to the war without actually traveling to the front line. Many thanks to the Janson group for giving us that opportunity.

I am playing a little catch up due to all the travel and weather but while I was in Columbus, OH teaching a workshop, I had an extra day on my hands and was given a special tour of the country side by my dear friend Denise Frysinger. She took me to an old country residence with an exceptional barn and white fence. Given the beauty of the day, it was a majestic scene and a photo opportunity not to be missed.
