Diamond Ring Total Solar Eclipse
This is the "Diamond Ring" part of the total solar eclipse of Monday, August 21st, 2017, as the moon crosses the sun. Irregularities on the surface of the moon create a brighter area as sunlight skips across mountains and canyons. This lasts only a few seconds as the moon passes across the majority of the sun.

Solar Eclipse Phases Collage
Collage of the Total Solar Eclipse of August 21st, 2017. The top image shows the first 'bite' out of the sun by the covering moon. The phase at the three o'clock position is the moon making its way across the sun. The bottom image at six o'clock shows the moon almost completely covering the sun. The image at nine o'clock is the moon leaving the sun and restoring the normal view. Center image is during totality, showing what is known as the 'diamond ring' where sunlight skips off the mountains and canyons of the irregularities on the surface of the moon.

Portrait of a Warrior
"Portrait of a Warrior" is a female Southern Bald Eagle, the symbol of our nation, sporting a bloody beak and a fierce stare. This is a portrait of Liberty, an educational bird who was on display in Alton, Illinois, at the The National Great Rivers Museum at Melvin Price Locks and Dam, during a freezing January. She had just been fed a rat prior to being on display, which explains her bloody beak in my portrait of her. I was about six feet away when I made this photograph and used a flash bounced off the wall to her right so that I could retain detail in her white feathers as well as illuminate her darker plumage. I had spent the morning photographing her cousins in the wild along the Mississippi River at Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary on the Missouri side of the river, and had gone to the lock and dam museum to warm up. Finding Liberty there was one of those happy accidents in the life of an artist!

Oncoming Train, Sibley, Missouri
BNSF (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) locomotive crossing the Missouri River at Sibley, Missouri near Fort Osage. This vibrant image puts you there, on the tracks, with power and bulk looming in front of you! I was on bended knee behind my tripod on the tracks just past the bridge itself, and had only a moment to capture this as the locomotive was definitely headed my way. Photographic decisions had to be made correctly and on time to avoid disaster.

You can almost feel the fog descending in this thickly wooded forest on an early morning.
This scene is in Fleming Park in Jackson County, Missouri, home of Lake Jacomo. Created on a rare foggy morning just behind a picnic shelter, there are many possible compositions within this frame.

Christian Church, Sibley, Missouri, Black + White
A dramatic black sky against the stark white of the Christian Church in historic Sibley, Missouri, site of Fort Osage, the precursor to present day Fort Leavenworth.
This scene emphasizes the forethought in the architecture of the church building itself, as the cupola of the church forms an arrow pointing toward Heaven. The stark contrast in the image focuses the eye to the detail in the church, under a vast expanse of featureless sky. The white building symbolizes the triumph of light over the surrounding darkness. Built in 1910, it is still in use today.ChristianChurchSibleyMOBW16x20SibleyMissouriSpringblack whitewhiteblackarchitectureChristian churchchurchesmajesticstronggraphicblack skyhistoric1910
Mist of Morning
Mysterious and dreamlike, the mist of morning rises amidst a forest of trees rising from the waters.
