Who?

A shot of a caged owl at a nature safari in eastern Nebraska. Incredible birds. Click to enlarge.

Lake Clouds

Some interesting clouds hovering over a lake in upstate New York. Me and Josh came across this scene at sunrise after the ferry crossing from Vermont. Click to enlarge.

Various views of the capitol

Today's photos are several distant shots of the Nebraska State Capitol Building shot last winter. A couple are from the highway 77 overpass (we must have driven over that thing a dozen times to get the shot -- there is nowhere to safely stand on the bridge and film), and the other is from Pioneers Park.

More Elk

Great Dun Fell

A distant radar dome atop Great Dun Fell in the Lake District of the United Kingdom. The Lake District is an incredible place. Click to enlarge.

Cranemania!

Today's photos are from a photo safari in eastern Nebraska (between Omaha and Lincoln, off I-80.) About as close as I'd ever gotten to a crane; these critters are less afraid of people on the safari, I guess. Beautiful birds. Click to enlarge.

Typical Vermont

Rumor has it that in Vermont, people don't build churches -- the churches just naturally spring up from the ground wherever a colorful forest can be found. Click to enlarge.

Sparse Shopping

Shot this last year in Leeds, UK -- this is the Corn Exchange building. It's no longer a retail outlet; today it's a restaurant. Yes, the whole damn thing. They were going to lease it out to multiple customers, but they could only find one. So until they find more, the whole thing belongs to one guy. Must feel like eating in a stadium!

That Fro!

>My good friend Josh, from when he came back to Lincoln last winter -- here's to hoping you make it back again this year, bro!

Misty Mountain

Shot from atop a mountain in Vermont -- we kept waiting for the cold clouds to stop rolling through until we realized we just needed to descend a bit to get below the cloud deck. Click to enlarge.

How Do You Like Dem

This is a good example of a photo that I never would have taken before I started marketing stock photography. This is the kind of silly thing that sells, for some reason.

The Island

This was shot in upstate New York -- just south of Plattsburgh, I believe, or wherever the ferry from Vermont drops you off. Quite a beautiful view just at sunrise. Click to enlarge.

Sweet!

I just noticed (via that deluge of comments) that my other blog, The Big Storm Picture was selected by Google as today's Blog of Note. Thanks, Google!

Derwent Water

Our friend Keith shows my wife Derwent Water in Cumbria, UK. This was an excellent overlook, even if it was a bit of a blustery and stormy day. England is a country of surprisingly diverse landscapes, considering its compact size. My wife will probably kill me for posting a wide angle photo with her at the edge of the frame. ;) Click to enlarge.

On a Hot Tin Roof

To be honest, I have no idea what I like so much about this shot. I took it in Vermont at a Cider House -- there was just something about the sheet-metal against the sky that caught my eye. Click to enlarge.

What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

My friend Josh multitasks as he drives me back to his place in Vermont. Don't try this at home, kids! Click to enlarge.

Elk

From a recent photo safari in eastern Nebraska. About as close to an elk as I've ever been! Click to enlarge.

Waiting

Today's photo is a candid of a man in Leeds, England. Click to enlarge.

JPG Issue 19

I have a photo essay in one of my favorite mags this month -- JPG magazine. Pretty exciting -- a lot of great stuff gets put into JPG, and it definately feels good to share the same pages with a whole host of excellent photographers.

Actual sign seen at a Nebraska Walmart

Yes, this is an actual sign seen at the Kearney, Nebraska Walmart on a Sunday night. No word if this also applies to alcohol, though we were tempted to bring a bottle up to checkout and find out.



BTW, there were actually two of these signs on the same shelf, about 10 feet apart. Here's the other one:
