Floating heavenly in a red dress, she reminds me of a water nymph or an underwater goddess. Since she is a scuba instructor, the title is fitting. This is my sister, and the shot was taken during my birthday party. THIS SHOT WAS TAKEN AT NIGHT USING ONLY THE DIM POOL LIGHT- NO FLASH, NO EDITS- 100% original, untouched! What makes this shot possible is the new Canon 5Ds camera having no static at high ISO.

Conjuring up images of a superhero, or Jesus, or a figurine ballerina, my sister splashed into the water for the start of our fun photoshoot. Over the hour, the first shot (this one) and nearly last shot were my favorite.

It was an honor capturing this portrait of President Jimmy Carter. Sharing the greenroom with him for an hour was a special moment. When I asked his wife Rosalynn what the necklace secretly tucked under her blouse was, she quietly showed me it was his Nobel Peace Prize. They are very sweet and humble people.

This wild pony approached me and wanted head snuggles for about 40 amazing minutes, what a moment. After camping out with the Onaqui herd for a week, I was photographing them at sunset when this one came up and took a liking to me. Holding a heavy DSLR out backwards on an extended arm and guessing for the best focus was a challenge. Best selfie I've ever taken.
