Fourth of July 2010 at Tumbleweed Park

It was a beautiful night for fireworks in Chandler, AZ. They put on one hell of a show. Here are a few of the shots I got.

Sam Adams Beer

Grand Canyon Camping 2010

Washington D.C.

I've always loved the deceiving nature of this angle looking down the National Mall from Arlington. It appears that all three structures are fairly close to one another when in fact it is nearly 2 miles from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to the Capital building. These two shots were taken less than an hour apart from each other.

Comic Con Steps

Eiffel Tower

Musée du Louvre

After entering through the glass pyramid at ground level, you walk down this twisted staircase to the main lobby. I love how this image ended up looking somewhat like Escher's House of Stairs or Relativity.

Arizona Desert

This weekend I went on a little desert shoot. Because of all the rain we've been having the ground was so green. You can see that in some of these photos.

Running Around

Grand Canyon

The Italian Beatles

My wife and met these four Italian gents on the famous Abby Road crosswalk in London. As they crossed the street I snapped this image without their knowledge. Needless to say once I showed them the photo they were very excited. We shared emails and I sent them all this final version.

It's The Beagles

The fab two

Piccadilly Circus, London

Ozzy

Well, I finally got to meet Ozzy. Albeit a quick meeting, it was a meeting. He was signing his book at Changing Hands Bookstore in Tempe. This is a shot of him signing my copy.

Stunning Family

You always know you're going to enjoy a photo session when the family is as good looking as this family is. You'd be hard pressed to find two kids that enjoy having their picture taken as much as these two did on this day. I feel these photos really capture their comfort level with the lens. Beautiful family indeed!

Beautiful Family at Sunset

Because it rained all day this shoot almost didn't happen. I knew though that if the clouds cleared up just enough that it could potentially make for a beautiful sunset photo shoot. I scoped out a few different locations to shoot from where the ground levels were balanced just right for capturing both this gorgeous family as well as what turned out to be one of the most amazing sunsets of the year. I am so happy with how these turned out.


This shot is fun because it was at the end of the shoot where we were all sort of just walking back to gather our things to leave. I decided to take a few more shots with them walking towards me as I walked backwards. This particular shot turned out so natural. It really captures the spirt of the entire shoot. Plus, it almost has a Hollywood feel with the lighting rig flash captured in the shot to the left.

Reed Studio: Black & White Photography

I launched this site last year to showcase some of my favorite photos in glorious black and white. I also have a link for it to the right. Check it out here often as I'll be adding to it every few days.

Maggie Sleeping

This little girl had a tough day.

AJ at Play

I love this image of my friend's son AJ. He was having so much fun just running around.
