An Olympus Get together in Iowa?
Yes It actually happened 6 Olympus photographers got together with what was probably the largest collection of Olympus gear in Iowa including any camera shop. We went out armed With 5 digital Olympus cameras, 8 OM Cameras, and 27 lenses. 27 lenses in one location right in the middle of Iowa. A site that few ever get a chance to see. In fact it was the first time I had ever seen any thing close. We went to the Spalding Factory to start the Day of photography and socializing off. Then we were off to Silver Creek Which is a preserve for wild flowers, grass and many verities of prairie grasses. Silver Creek is Maintained by the Audubon Society.

My Olympus E3, 12-60 lens and a FL50R (with a stoffen cap for diffusion) fired off Camera.
It is one of my favorite set ups to go out shooting with. Because with a pair of cargo paints I can carry enough gear to cover so many different situations.

It was also a great Day to try and practice on some Bee in flight skills. A area of photography that I have not quiet mastered, however I am getting better at it.
After Silver Creek we were off to Rock Creek Ia State Park. Rock Creek has recently added this Section of preserved prairie land.



Rock Creek as you can see is another great location for wild life and flora galore.
With such a rich photographic area I never even made it off the main path before it was time to break for lunch. However before we went to a late lunch we had to get a group photo. I set up the E3 on my tripod fired it by wireless remote, with a Metz 54 to camera right on a stand with the Glad Box for diffusion Fired wireless with my Elenchrom Skyport.



Here is a photo of the six of us, From left to right Paul, Joel, me, Gordon, Ken, And Michael.

I thought I would share one of my favorite bands with every one. They are very easy listening and can just be pleasing to the soul.


Even here in Central Iowa we can get be exposed to all kinds of music. This Australian

Band takes Psalms and sings them. As some people know the Psalms are made up mostly of songs and poems so it is only natural that some should be sang instead of read.


I hope you enjoy and if you would like to find out more you can visit Sons of Korah's web site here and they have links to their facebook and myspace as well as more samples of their music and tour dates.
Enjoy and God Bless.

Clang, Bang, Bounce coming from the bathroom. Sabrina And I jump up making a dash to the Bathroom as Sabrina rounds the corner laying eyes on the bathroom door she just starts rolling in laughter.



My mind goes from racing What in the world in fear to shear confusion. Then I see

my precious oldest daughter jumping in to mom's arms with her first self done make up job. While mom and dad had our backs turned Bella had gotten into the bathroom and gotten into mom's makeup to administer her first make over.
Enjoy and God Bless

That is right this is my youngest daughter already 4 months old and growing like a weed in ever way. I took

This photo was taken while Jenna was playing in her exersaucer. I did use flash with an Omni style defuser and just bounced it. She is great to photograph with endless expressions and very happy.
Thanks for reading and God Bless

Smugmug has long announced that they were going to be integrating a new Pro lab. In fact they have been saying this for about a year. Well it looks like it may come to pass. A few clues have been given to me by David Jay and Andy Williams. The first clue is:

That they met in California last week for a few hours. The next clue is that they will be with the new pro lab at WPPI Feb. 14-19. Well if you look at the floor plan of WPPI booth 1525 is Smugmug right next to it is 1519 which happens to be a Pro Lab. This same lab is located not too far from the physical address of Smugmug. One is in Santa Cruz, the other in Mt. View. If you do not know where they are here is a map

So you want to know what Pro Lab is in Santa Cruz, CA? It is Bay Photo. Now keep in mind this is pure speculation and I am only going by clues and could be wrong but we will see before the 14th of Feb.
Thanks and God Bless
