As June nears, I'd like to create a new challenge to get our creative juices flowing - Emotions.

There were a family of Canadian Wild Geese walking down the road one spring afternoon, the older geese were leading these two little geese and stopped for a rest.

I ran across Maddison's IG recently. One caption read "I wish my sister would come back to take photos of me". I promptly volunteered to help solve this problem. We had a great shoot.

There is a black bear in here...

Katy and I planned to shoot some swimwear in March to avoid the blistering Texas Summer heat. We didn't count on unusually cold temps and high winds. Props to Katy for pushing through!

Another take on this fantastic building from an architectural point of view. This was originally a part of a factory - now transformed to apartments.

Hello? Is this thing on? Can anybody hear me?

This is taken somewhere along the coastline in Melbourne Australia.

Hi all, how do you like this view and do you miss something there? :-)

"Taking A Picture Of A Picture From The Past In The Present"

From the book Dear Photograph by Taylor Jones:
