ANNOUNCEMENT!!! New stock photo site!!! – Burk Images

It is my great pleasure to announce that I have fulfilled a dream (with much help and support from friends)!  Over the years I have taken thousands upon thousands of photos across the US and in a few different countries of big and small things, important and insignificant, beautiful and bland.  Most of those photos have not served any purpose except to bring me joy in the taking and the reflecting.  BUT, for a few years now I have wanted to have an outlet for my work as well as a way to make some money from these photos that I take through life’s journey.

So it is not without a lot of hard work, frustration and good old perseverance that I can announce today that my site is here and it is the beginning of something great, big, grand, glorious and FUN!!!!  You can now buy my photos online, right now, and easily download them onto your computer!!! Check it out!!!!  This is just the beginning!!!!

Friday’s thoughts

In case you have not figured out by now:  I don’t blog on a consistent, linear, regular or predictable pattern.  I am quite random and I blog when the mood hits. However, that does not mean I’m not taking photos… In fact, today I took over 700 photos.  Say what!  Yes, that is right 700 photos of kids for their spring photo (I work with a school portrait company).  I have the honor of getting kids to hold their head in just the right spot and making them smile a genuine smile for you parents and grandparents out there.  Today one of my coworkers threw a stuffed animal at my head to try and make a kid smile. He came with tears, we got him to a frown and then when Barney hit my head he busted into a great smile.  Good thing for shutter release cables!!!  Needless to say, my job is fun and challenging at the same time!  Way more challenging than my family photo sessions!!!

On another note, I have also been busy working on a project that you will hear about soon, so stay tuned for that.

Rain, please go away for just one Saturday so I can stop re-scheduling a photo shoot!!!

Missing the winter in Alaska – favorite photo

I heard it started snowing today in Fairbanks, Alaska.  Here in Orange County we have a high of 87 with some nice Santa Ana dryness.  Sigh.  I miss the winter weather.  Here is one of my favorite winter photos from Alaska (and yes, of course the Jeep is in there!).  This was the first snow of the winter and it was a good one.
