Self Portrait - Haley Falls














Another one of my favorite places to go is Whitaker Point, its the place of the Hawksbill Crag,  but just before you get there, there is a small waterfall called Haley's Falls, name for the little girl who got lost there and was the subject of a major search & rescue operation, she was later found safe, and this fall was named after her...

I have some more pictures of this fall I will post at a later time..

Broadwater Falls Panoramic


Broadwater Falls, Compton Arkansas.

I have been traveling to this waterfall since I started working with photography, I see photography as being the person that has the most fortunate opportunity of being in the best place at the right time. Broadwater is located off of an small, steep and rugged dirt road, It is just a short hike in from the road. I have always been pleased each time I vist. The place consist of 2 lower falls the upper main fall with a nice pool. A host of wild flowers can be seen from time to time which include Shooting Stars, Trilliums, Iris, Jack in the Pulpits, Columbine and many more.
Every time I visit broadwater I try to look at it from a different view, sometimes just to enjoy the falls. I travel to my favorite spots every year, and every year I add new spots, but my one of my most favorite has always been Broadwater.

Photoshoots....

Photography...  I love it, I love all aspects of it, there is just no end to the possibilities of shots, one can not say every shot has been shot... endless 
I see myself mainly a nature/landscape photographer, I enjoy the rugged wilderness, and its awe inspiring ability to remind you that your just not the only one in this world, that we are a very big part of a great creation, made by God, one can not just look at the small details of creation, and not come away without knowing truly there is a God, you see it, you feel it, and it leaves an everlasting impression on your life. 
I have lately been branching out into portrait photography and I really enjoy it as well, although I am do not like the canned sessions that lacks the persons personality, which mind you is the main reason we take pictures of people so we can leave memories, I want to take pictures that remind us of the person we are looking at...

Here are a few friends I had the opportunity to work with....
