Um, wow. BEST OF SHOW. Words I never expected to be associated with, especially as a landscape and wildlife photographer because all the years I've been entering the @iowastatefair Photography Salon the genre that wins is always something else. Which made the moment I found out even more astonishing. I wasn't even paying attention to the cover of the book because that's not where I look for my images. I usually head straight to the corner where the landscape and wildlife awards are displayed. I think I about fell backwards down the stairs!

It's been hard to get out and create lately but for good reason -- being a husband and a dad takes so much time but it's also so rewarding! I wouldn't trade those moments for anything. Hoping someday when the kiddos are older we can go on adventures together and hopefully photography is something I can pass along to them.

I really enjoy the photography community. Working from home, I don’t get out much nor do I meet new people. But finding this group of people to learn from and be inspired by has been fantastic. So thanks to you guys and all those who have contributed to my photography knowledge in one way or another. And a special thank you goes out to my wife who holds the fort down and allows me to be gone hours on end (and sometimes all hours of the night). Although my kids may not remember this moment, I hope you grow up and see that if you put your mind to something and work hard that anything can happen. 2,297 adult division photos entered. Truly humbled and honored to have been selected as Best of Show, especially given all of the talented photographers who submit to this show. Congratulations to all of the other winners.

Thank you for the continued support and for following along with my photography journey!

Well ya sure don't see that very often!! Thanks to a tip I was able to capture this wild scene... apparently this coyote has taken a liking to this hay bale and enjoys lazy mornings laying on top of it! I think I've only ever photographed a coyote 1 other time as they are typically skittish and way out in fields but I used my truck as a "blind" and was able to enjoy this moment without spooking it. What a fun memory!!

My owl post for the day. Thankful for neighbors who watch for owls in the neighborhood now like I do 🙂 A 6 year old spotted this barred owl on the way to school today!!

My son and I had a four owl day! 1 adult great horned owl, 1 adult barred owl but the grand prize was relocating 2 barred owlets in our neighborhood that seem to have found a new nest site this year! I had given up on seeing them as I wasn't noticing any activity in the nest from last year. Heard the begging hisses while searching in the woods today and it led us right to them! 😍

I was only able to see one little fluffball this spring but always enjoy the opportunity! This appeared to be a lone barred owlet from a nest along the Clive Greenbelt Trail.

I love city wildlife! They are so used to people walking the trail that they don't even flinch when someone stops to photograph them. This barred owl snoozed the day away in the warm afternoon sun a mere 15 yards off the trail!

Twice in the last 30 days in Iowa?! I could get used to this! Good thing we're heading towards solar maximum so it could very well mean more outings like this for Iowa and other southern states 🙂

This was taken NE of Ankeny last night at 11:16pm. I took Jameson with me as he's seen my other images of the northern lights and always says how he wants to see them and go on a "boys trip" to do "something fun". Well, good thing the lights showed up as they did not disappoint so hopefully he's hooked like his daddy 🙂

Had a front row seat to Ma Nature in wee hours of morning on September 4th!

Predicting the aurora is next to impossible. But for nights like these, I actually built a web based app that will call when the conditions have been met for the aurora to likely be visible so you can sleep soundly knowing you'll get a wake up call 🙂 Check out Aurora Notifier if you're interested! www.auroranotifier.com

Great way to kick off the @iowastatefair last night with @skilletmusic, @johnlcooper, @koreycooper and @jenledger rocking the house as usual! This was probably my 7th time seeing them over the past 12 years. Thanks to Life 107.1 for the opportunity to cover this event for them. #skillet #skilletmusic #ledger #isf #iowastatefair #isf2022 #concert #concertphotography #rockmusic #christianrock #rockandroll #jenledger #ledger #guitar #electricguitar

The other bridge I stopped at during my mini Covered Bridges of Madison County tour was the Imes bridge in St. Charles. I don't believe I've photographed this one before so I decided to give it some love too 🙂

Since I was being given the opportunity to photograph from on top of the dome of the Capitol, I wasn't going to miss out on snagging a few skyline shots of the city at dusk (which is my favorite time of day because the lights on buildings come on and the sky still has some color to it!)

During the finale of last night's 28th Annual Yankee Doodle Pops concert with the @desmoinessymphony from atop the Iowa State Capitol dome. I like how it looks like the firework explodes from the Travelers Insurance sign and seeing the reflection in the small windows of the Ruan building.
