Here’s a couple of calves lying in hay at the City Market.

Sorry on not updating the site with timeliness these past couple days - not only was my Internet connection down for 29 hours due to improper digging up on Westport Road, but I’ve been running around tasking lately, and I’m getting ready for the show in Joplin this Thursday.

…another summertime scene, this time an urban one from downtown Kansas City - MO, not Kansas - Missouri.

A late-summer-ish scene from the cemetery on Labor Day weekend at the end of August in Stafford, Kansas.

I will be having a show of several of my photos at the Third Thursday Art Walk down in Joplin MO this Thursday evening.

Mill Creek Park on the Plaza this past Sunday - the political rallies are frequent these days.

I can never overstate how awesome ducks are

Shutter: 1/200 // Aperture: f/8.0 // Focal Length: 170 mm // ISO 100

…the ducks and geese going for a morningtime swim in the pond at Loose Park, photo taken at the end of collecting some portrait work, which brings me back to the park often.

World War One Museum

… a sunset scene looking westward, at the National World War One Museum, housed at Liberty Memorial - downtown KCMO.

Bodily chaos

Shutter: 1/400 // Aperture: f/11 // Focal Length: 100 mm // ISO 100

City Market on Saturday — here we have what resembles, when captured still, an orgy-like belly dancing display.

Horse drawn

One handheld RAW // HDR // Shutter: 1/80 // Aperture: f/13 // Focal Length: 17 mm // ISO 100

… I kind of like the idea here - a horse drawn hayride through the River Market. But I’d look a little ludicrous on it.

Clergy for Obama

Shutter: 1/1600 // Aperture: f/2.8 // Focal Length: 85 mm // ISO 100

… a scene from Mill Creek Park on the Plaza, Sunday afternoon.

Skyline - KCMO style

One tripod mounted RAW // HDR // Shutter: 30 sec // Aperture: f/22 // Focal Length: 100 mm // ISO 400

…the perennial vantage point looking at downtown KCMO from Liberty Memorial. I figure it’s not a cliche if I only do this two or three times per year.

I must note that photos like this show very unpredictable amounts of saturation depending on what browser you’re viewing them in. This photo looks horribly over-saturated in Safari, but just about how I want it in Firefox. Firefox seems to render my photos the way I intend when finishing up with them in Photoshop, whereas Safari renders them over-saturated - something to do with how differing browsers manage color profiles I think.
