This recent shot was just selected as “Image of the Week” on the NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) website. Chris Main, Managing Editor of Photoshop User Magazine informed me that the shot may be selected for publication in February. We’ll see – there are a lot of talented members of NAPP.

I am pleased to announce that Baxter Imaging LLC is now offering low-elevation aerial photography, with the same standard of excellence as our ground-based architectural work. I prefer to shoot most of my images from ground-level, but there are certainly times where an elevated perspective is essential to capturing the surrounds views. This new system has a small footprint and extends up to 60 feet high, which will make it useful for both interior, exterior, residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

I finally caught a break in the weather, to photograph this modern desert estate in North Scottsdale. It was an early morning capture (5am) as opposed to the standard evening time. This shot was actually a late discovery, that I saw after finishing the main image. I had just enough time to capture it before the sun came up.

I was asked to participate in the annual Festival of Trees, by photographing the designer Christmas Trees that will be auctioned off to benefit Phoenix Children’s Hospital. This is the second year I got to see some amazing work of our Valley’s designers up close.

On November 22nd, I was informed that my portfolio assessment for BIPP (British Institute of Professional Photographers) was awarded the Associateship level of membership, making me one of three architectural photographers in the country to have this credential. It was an exciting process, as it required something more than a membership fee. In a couple of years I plan to submit my work for a Fellowship level of membership.
