Recent Work: Hawaii - the Big Island

Just back from week of hiking the entire island of Hawaii. Not what you would think of a Hawaiian visit. It was volcanos, rain forests, mesquite and cactus, cattle ranches and coconuts, with just a dabble of beach time. Here's some of what I saw. Visit my crasephoto.com to see my portfolio, Recent Work: Hawaii.

Dawn on Trail 8A - 100th AZ Statehood Anniversary photo

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of statehood for Arizona, Arizona Highways proposed a Day in the Life type shoot of images taken on February 14, 2012. (That's the date Arizona became a state 100 years ago.) This is one image taken with a long exposure of 3 minutes, 30 seconds. It was early in the morning, with a half moon. I made one light trail, and four ladies happen to walk through the exposure to make four more trails. Thanks to Dave Black who informs everyone about light painting. Happy Birthday, Arizona!

Shooting wheelchair sports

I enjoyed shooting wheelchair basketball at the newly opened Virginia G Piper Sports & Fitness Center for persons with disabilities this past weekend.  The new center is incredible with swimming pools, exercise rooms, climbing wall, running track and one gym large enough to house two full-size basketball courts, all for exclusive use by disabled athletes.  The venue was the site of the 13th annual Roundup Basketball Tournament this weekend.  Two cameras, five lens and a great site!

It's getting to be that time of year...

Spring is right around the corner in Arizona. But with the balmy weather, flower blossoms and green everywhere, spring also brings rattlesnakes and scorpions. Not to worry. This one is dead, mashed with a book.
