This site is more-or-less on hiatus until I'm able to roll out the new redesign in January. The new site will also feature a dedicated blog just for a photography with larger photo display area.
Until then, here are a few quick shots taken with the EOS 20d of an ice storm that hit Nashville last night. Most of the midwest got hammered with snow, but alas, we only got ice. The ice is amazing looking, but as we near Christmas, part of me was hoping for a good covering of snow.
(Here's a shot from the family site, also taken with the the EOS. I'm really liking it's low light capabilities.)

Keeping Cool - Hermitage, TN
I was in New York City for a few days last week for a video shoot and had a chance to explore a different neighborhood of the city: Union Square. Here is the first volume of pictures from the W Hotel and the surrounding neighborhood.

Cut Miscanthus - Antioch, TN
I was cutting back one of my miscanthus plants this evening (I cut them all back to the ground every winter or early spring) and snapped a few shots of the cut pieces. I like these shots the best which were taken with my s110 in macro mode. I held the camera down on the ground with the lens looking through the plant toward the evening sky.

Flying to NYC - Delta 5413
Leaving Nashville last night for New York, after a three hour mechanical delay, we flew right up through the most amazing clouds. The kind of clouds you only see right at sunset and right after some rainy weather has moved through.
It's funny, for a while, I used to be kind of photo snob and thought that taking 'snapshots' out of airplane windows was kind of silly. But I don't think that anymore. In fact, I don't think anyone should hesitate to take a photo of something the see that's amazing looking. I know that we can take air travel for granted, along with simple things like clouds, but when I see clouds like this I am making myself reach for a camera.
