  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I take pics of about anything but i have special collections of churches, cemeteries, unusual signs and unique roads. Don't know what I'll do with them all except I do have plans to compile a book of my churches in my particular county. I'm on the ambitious project to photograph every single church within my county and there are over 140 of them. I have about 118 more to go. ;) lol.


Of course, I especially enjoy taking pics of my family and here is a recent one of my son and his bride on their wedding day. (April 29)

hehehe...I gotta say that the bouquet's doing a reasonable job of covering up the kiss! ^_^

I prefer nature photography to anything with movement in it. There's something about capturing that perfect sunrise or sunset that is just breathtaking - I'm hoping to get some snaps of this evening's sunset and will share them with you all tomorrow or Saturday :)

Scenic, architecture, nature. Sometimes odd shapes of things and abstract patterns.

Odd shapes of things sounds cool. I once saw a slide presentation of Stephen Kirkpatrick, a nature and wildlife photographer, and many of his pictures had the same shape of subjects, which on that particular night were sharp points or spirals. There were sharply pointed trees, land points, beaks of birds, etc., or spirals of vines, bark on a strange looking tree, and just lots of other spirals. I thought it was very interesting.

People. I love getting killer shots of people, capturing a side of them they never knew existed. I love coaching them, getting them to laugh, trying new looks, finding ways to tell them they look great even though they think they are not very attractive. Then I get to prove it to them with the online galleries and slideshows I create for them. They may not believe me when I tell them they look stunning, they may just start to believe it when they see their pictures, but when all their friends go nuts over the images and mom cries then they start to think, "Well maybe I am attractive!" and they smile. It's not about the money - I love getting to work with all different kinds of people. I mean, I still put food on the table with my photography. But I just love working with my clients!

My favorites have got to be senior photo sessions, engagement sessions, and weddings. All three represent significant changes in people's lives, and you can see it in their expressions as the photo session progresses. You can feel the excitement in their spirit as they open up and talk about it with you.

I really like advertising and magazine covers, too. It's a really neat thing when an art director says they want the cover shot to say something very specific, and also scream to consumers "BUY ME! READ ME!". I love that challenge when I work with models or the subjects of feature articles.

I hope I don't come across as egotistical. I just love my job and thank God every day for it. I'm hoping to start traveling for photography jobs, too.

PS - if you read New Man Magazine, the next two covers are mine.

I like taking pictures of sunsets and powerlines, preferably together!

Basically anything outdoors: insects (mainly bees and wasps), flowers, all the crazy creatures I find, cool landmarks around my area that construction/society hasn't discovered yet. I also like scenic pictures during my two favorite seasons, autumn and winter.

Sunsets and powerlines? Wow! Can you show us some?

The bees and wasps must be challenging. ONe day recently I sat on the rocker on the porch and propped my bare feet on the rail of the porch and almost immediately a wasp sat on one of my toes. I froze, of course, because I didnt' want to frighten him, :eek: but I also wished for my camera. If you're prepared for those moments they never happen you know.

I like nature pictures: landscapes, anything that attracts my attention. I also take pictures of buildings (old, gothic, Europeany type ones or really unique ones), village scenes, and graveyards and houses of worship. It really depends. If it captures my mind, I like to capture it too (with my camera!)
