Months ago, I saw renowned nature photographer, Art Wolfe had an opening for his September workshop in Durango, Colorado. Joining Art on a workshop is a bucket list for me. Timing it in September during peak fall color season is a dream come true. Thanks, Art! Go into gallery mode by clicking on an image to get the best of this post.

Lincoln, Illinois has been running an event called Balloons over Route 66 every summer for a while. This year, it caught my eye as something I should try to photograph.

Wisconsin Barn Hunt
A friend and I decided to go on a photography-vacation barn hunt in Wisconsin. Tim found this great cabin in the woods near Lake Delavan. Not only was the trip relaxing, I was lucky to capture a couple portfolio-worthy shots from the trip. Tell me what you think.

Central Europe April 2024
My latest business trip was to Zurich, Vienna, Budapest, and Frankfurt. It was my first time in Switzerland and Hungary. While I didn’t have enough time to explore Zurich, a weekend in Budapest was a real treat where I was lucky to get some good shots of the Hungarian capital. We took a three-hour Segway tour on Saturday – best way to see tons in a small window of time.

Chicago NASCAR Street Race
Chicago hosted NASCAR for it’s first ever street race around Grant Park. I was in town for the weekend, so I phoned a friend and we bought tickets for the two-day race. Weather was a challenge but for a pair of first-timers, we had a blast. Wish I could have used something more than my phone to photograph this memory.

Peoria Chiefs
Yes, it’s been a while. Blame lack of inspiration. Credit for this inspiration goes to my wife and her sister who made a play date for me with a photo expert and physician, Dr. Elsburgh Clarke.
Dr. Clarke invited me to join him to a Peoria Chiefs game where he has a seasonal press pass. Shooting baseball is a bucket list experience for me. Inspiration, check! Even more inspirational to shoot with someone with Dr. Clarke’s skills!
It was a blast. I learned a ton. Hopefully, you enjoy my 39 favorites, which are reduced from 1,836 and over 100GB of RAW photos – more than any single shoot I’ve ever done. Doc tells me he shot 4,100. So, I must have been conservative.
