Do you have a "look" to your photos? or a "style"
I know I do.. and I am not sure I like to be stuck into just one look or another. Over the past 2 months I have been looking at my own work and trying to better refine my "look" … what I have found is that my look tends to jump around a bit from edit to edit and from topic to topic..  *How did you set your "look" or "style"? Have you changed it over the time you have been shooting? Is it good to just have one look, my opinion is no…yet I am pretty sure that is what customers or viewers might like. They get used to one look and then follow your work based on that one look.  It is hard to know the true right direction to travel as far as look or style. I am not sure there is even a right direction in anything we all do daily…. I know I will continue to refine what I do in multiple directions.. never planning on getting caught in one style or look but adding them all to the tool belt of photo skills I am accumulating.  Here is something different I cooked up today trying […]

If you have never seen the PepCon Explosion that happened in Henderson Nevada
If you have never seen the PepCon Explosion that happened in Henderson Nevada.. this is what happens when you have a welding accident in a Rocket Fuel plant… http://youtu.be/ZOPP4ZBgnoA The PEPCON explosion occurred on May 4, 1988. The PEPCON plant was one of only two American producers of ammonium perchlorate, an oxidizer used in solid fuel rocket boosters, including the Space Shuttle Solid Rocket Boosters and military weapons. The fire is reported to have originated in or around a drying process structure in the PEPCON plant between 11:30 and 11:40. Employees' attempts to extinguish the fire were unsuccessful, and they abandoned their effort when the first of a series of explosions occurred in the 200 liter (55 gallon) drums. The first of two major explosions occurred in the drum storage area. The fire continued to spread and reached the storage area for the filled aluminum shipping containers. This resulted in an even larger, second major explosion, about four minutes later. Very little fuel remained after the second explosion and the flame diminished rapidly except for the flame plume created when the high pressure natural gas line beneath the plant was ruptured in one of the explosions. The gas line was shut […]
