My snail crossing picture from last month won second place in the feature category of the Sportsshooter.com monthly clip contest. 
I'll have my photo booth set up at the 7th annual Umpqua Partners Truth, Lies and Videotapes event at the Umpqua Community College Jacoby Auditorium on Friday, April 9 from 6-9 p.m. Be among the first to view substance abuse prevention SPAs created by Douglas County Youth.
I'll be selling photo strips for $4 each with proceeds going to Umpqua Partners.
I had a walk-in at my Roseburg photography studio today. Patti needed a business portrait for a special project. I set up my vibrant blue background and we ended up with a nice simple look.
The San Francisco Chronicle picked up one of my frog photos on their Day in Pictures web gallery yesterday. Their readers had some nice comments about my picture...
March 27, 2010 - Oakland, Oregon, USA- A wild Pacific tree frog sits near a small pond on a farm near Oakland, Oregon on Saturday, March 27, 2010. Pacific tree frogs are the most common frogs on the west coast of North America. Most Pacific tree frog populations are healthy, but there is some evidence of declines. Dramatic declines in other amphibian populations have been noted since the 1980s from locations all over the world.
Also known as the The Pacific Chorus Frog. They're out in huge numbers this time of year. Check out more of my nature pictures here. I sell puzzles and prints of my images.
I've been a member of sportshooter.com for several years. I've never considered myself a great sports photographer, but I can hold my own against most newspaper shooters. Now that I'm working for myself, I'm not really shooting any sports (so far). I'm still keeping my membership page on the sportsshooter.com website, but I seem to be posting pictures of brides, bugs, and blossoms.
Zuma Press posted one of my blossom photos on their Pictures of the Day feature. It's nice to get recognition.
The plum orchard behind our house is in full blossom. It's amazing.
I photographed a wedding near Roseburg yesterday. The ceremony was in a small chapel near Sutherlin with the reception at the Umpqua Community Center. I've posted a few more of my favorites in the Wedding gallery on my website.
Joanna visited our ranch for her senior portraits yesterday. The orchard is in bloom and it made for a great backdrop. The ranch is amazing for portraits, but I can travel to any location. Check my website for packages and prices or stop by my Roseburg Photography studio at 830 SE Rose St.
I'm shooting my first wedding of the season today. Last week the bride came into my Roseburg photography studio for bridal portraits. The ceremony is at a small chapel in the Umpqua area northwest of Roseburg. I'm covering the wedding in a photojournalism style, but we'll also take time for portraits.
The San Francisco Chronicle's SFGate.com picked up a couple of my pictures this week. On slow days at my Roseburg photography studio I've been out shooting nature pictures. It's a perfect career so far. I sell reprints of my nature photos here.
March 17, 2010 - ROSEBURG, Oregon, USA- A great blue heron leaps between rocks as it hunts in the rapids of the North Umpqua River near Roseburg, Ore. The species is the largest of the North American herons. (Credit Image: © Robin Loznak)
I've been waiting to catch a heron hunting in the river below the Winchester Dam for a while. I shot these with my 600mm and a 1.4x extender. The photo at top was shot at 1/13 of a second with the camera braced against a railing.
My dad visited the studio today. After helping with some landscaping, he sat for a couple of portraits.
I have a bridal portrait session scheduled for Friday, so I was testing my light setup.
Flowers bloom above the Kellogg Crescent as seen from the old Smith homestead on our ranch near Elkton on Sunday afternoon. On Monday I'll be back in my Roseburg photography studio.
I found a small herd of Roosevelt elk feeding in a pasture near Tyee, Ore., this morning. They looked a bit rough around the edges after the long wet winter, but they are still amazing animals.
Early blossoms on the peach tree in our small orchard. This little tree produces large delicious fruit in the summer.
A group of baby nutria cluster together for warmth near a pond in Roseburg on Wednesday. Some people think nutria are disgusting, but I think at least the babies are adorable. Check out more of my critter pictures at here.
The San Francisco Chronicle used my possum picture today. Now that I don't work for a newspaper, and I'm no longer sending pictures to AP, they're crediting me as robin loznak/robinloznak.com.
My Roseburg photography studio at 830 SE Rose is coming together. I'm happy to have visitors so stop over and get a free photo booth shot.
