Trotting into the New York Post

My recent turkey photo has trotted right into the New York Post's weekly animals web gallery.  My work is represented by ZumaPRESS.com and you never know where it will pop up.

Creepy crawler

A small centipede curls into a defensive position on a bed of mushrooms growing in a forested area near Elkton, Ore., on Friday, Dec. 9, 2011. Worldwide there are estimated to be about 8000 species of centipede. Centipedes are primarily predatory and some species have a hazardous bite.

Down at the pond

 On slow days at the studio I sometimes go looking for fun "feature" pictures.  After 20 years as a newspaper photographer I still love looking for little slice-of-life moments.

I love the dainty way the pigeon takes a bite from the cookie.

The little dog also wanted a bite, but not in a dainty way.

Frosty morning in Oregon

Roseburg, Oregon, U.S - Ice crystals form on a small flower growing in a city park. Roseburg experienced below-freezing temperatures causing an icy morning.

It got down to 26 degrees in Roseburg last night. For this part of the country, that's pretty chilly.

Zuma Press, the photo agency which represents my work, picked up one of my frosty pictures in their Pictures of the Day gallery. Cool!

Thedaily.com also picked up one of my frosty pictures in their Top Photos gallery.

Seven years

Love my D3s, but I hate Mondays. I had two mirrors in my Roseburg, Ore., photo studio, but thanks to my clumsiness I now only have one.

Christmas photo booth

Testing and setting up my photo booth for a company Christmas Party in Roseburg this weekend. I love my cheesy Christmas backdrop. I still have openings if anyone wants the photo booth at their party. 

Turkey crossing

A flock of wild turkeys trot across North Bank Road near Glide, Ore., on Friday Dec. 2, 2011.  Check out this gallery of my nature pictures.  Framed reprints are available and make great gifts.
