This is a project that's all my own - it won't be published anywhere but here. Since I've been in Cedar Rapids, I've really missed using my own equipment to capture images - the cameras I use for work feel awkward, really dull, and the computer is horrible. So, on my days off I would grab my wonderful 5D and my 14mm lens and just drive to a spot and walk around. It was like spending an afternoon with an old friend, a welcome feeling here in this place where I really don't know anyone. There aren't any people in the photos and most are full frame. My goal was to show the devastating flood damage and my own isolation. So here it is... my work so far...

Boomtown
So... I've been really bad about updating my blog lately... these shots are a little old. They're from an event put on by the Iowa Pyrotechnic Association called "Boomtown." I have to say, it was the best fireworks show I've ever seen! They had fireworks of every shape, size and color - all perfectly timed to music. It was like the fireworks were dancing to the music. Very cool!
