The HMS Bounty reportedly sank off the coast of North Carolina this morning, as the devastating hurricane named ‘Sandy’ approaches the East coast. The Crew members were forced to abandon ship. The Bounty was in the process of avoiding the storm. At the time of this writing, they had rescued 14, and still searching for 2 missing crew members.

I had the opportunity to photograph the HMS Bounty Tall Ship at the ‘Tall Ship Festival’ in Bay City Michigan, July 2010.  They were never under sail in the Saginaw Bay, due to high winds, so I was not able to make any images of her under sail. (These tall ships are actually diesel powered now)  Here are some of the images I made of the HMS Bounty. My prayers are with the Family and Friends of the Bounty Crew!

Portable Changing Room

Senior Pictures, Professionals, Models, Families

You might have already looked through our Portfolios.
    If not, have a look…  Portfolio
As you notice, many (or all) of your images will be on-location and outdoors.
Which begs the question: “Where can I change my outfit while on-location?” 
Guys can often change a shirt anywhere. But for the Ladies, we needed a
private option, where they could do an outfit change and where guys
could change their pants.
After some searching, we found a nice option; a Portable Changing Room.
So bring a good selection of outfits, we will help you decide which ones
look best for the chosen location.  And use our handy P.C.R. to change!!

Alan Charnley – “Images of Nature”

February 8, 2012 by DavidSr | Comments Off

Dr. Alan Charnley, is a well respected Dentist here in Lapeer, Michigan, and an avid Nature Photographer.

I’ve attended several of Dr. Charnley’s Photography presentations, which he shares at the Library,  Seven Ponds Nature Center, and elsewhere. I enjoy his photography a great deal, and find his images inspiring.
I was at his “Iceland Presentation” this week. I arrived early and had a chance to view his photography book “Images of Nature – A Photographic Journey”.  The book encompasses a huge compilation of his great photography (120 pages). He shares his photography often and focuses on creating beautiful images as a hobby.

Charnley’s book is self-published and not available in book stores. The Internet has provided us a gateway to create personal books on-line, at “Snapfish“, “Blub” and others. When you design a book on-line, Blurb offers a feature “Allow the public to purchase your book”. I was happy to discover, when Charnley created his book on Blurb, he allowed it to be available for purchase. Below is link to preview his book and to order one if you wish.
