I can't wait to photograph the September wedding being held at one of their favorite
- [Shooting Wide Open](https://barrystaver.com/shooting-wide-open/) - Both of the photographs on my current postcard stand out for the same reason: they were shot wide open.

- [Tips & Tricks #2-Xmas Lights](https://barrystaver.com/tips-tricks-2-xmas-lights/) - Christmas Light Photography provides several challenges including keeping you and the camera warm ~ at least in Colorado. I'd guess that desert cactus and beachfront palm tree lighting wouldn't present this challenge. Another photography caveat to remember: What your eye/mind see and what the camera can record are two very different things. I'll post in

- [Skeleton Out of the Closet](https://barrystaver.com/skeleton-out-of-the-closet/) - Post Card Series. As a photographer of people I'm often asked to bring back an exciting, unusual, attention getting portrait.

Cover stories are a BIG deal, because the success of the cover dictates

A colleague of mine often used this saying and it seemed to fit with these photographs of Bart the Bear and his trainer. Do you recall the film, "The Bear"?

- [Reagan & the Queen "hitting their marks"](https://barrystaver.com/reagan-the-queen-hitting-their-marks/) - My signature "storytelling with a camera" has been around longer than I realized.

- [Did I Inhale?](https://barrystaver.com/inhale/) - Unlike a former president who claims, "I didn't inhale", I did.
