Photo of the Week - Cat & Darren

July 5th was a time of special recognition of the joining of two lives together. Cat Rooney and Darren Howland held a special ceremony and party for friends and family to celebrate their marriage.

I had the special privilege of capturing images of their special day.

Cat chose a beautiful spot on the shore of Lake Shawnee in Topeka, KS. The day was clear and warm, and the gardens were in full bloom.



Cat arrived for the ceremony in this bright yellow '36 Ford.

Photo of the Week - Sunset

My photography this week has been scouting for an event that will be taking place in September. For photos to share I'm reaching back to our vacation trip in July. These images were taken the same evening about 15 minutes apart.

This image is the earlier of the two. The sun was just about to go below the horizon. Note the bank of clouds on the horizon

That low line of clouds rapidly moved through as the broken clouds you see in this image. The sun was below the horizon from the ground, but was still lighting up the bottom of the clouds

Photo of the Week - Abandonment

This weekend I took a walk up through an abandoned shopping center near our home. The stores have been closed for several years. Renewal of the site has been planned, but with the downturn in the economy things have been delayed. I was looking for images at sunset.

Sad Reflection

Deferred Maintenance

Overgrown

Clean Up?
