Learning to fly without wings but coming down is the hardest thing...

I took these photos during a period I call "Alaska - the Clueless Years". This was late 2003-04 when I was just learning photography and shooting with live people. In retrospect it was a fun time and I shot with many fine young ladies. I just wish I could have this period over.
These photos are of Nadiya, a young mature lady from Ukraine. This was one of the strangest, most bizarre, and fun shoots I ever did. Nadiya contacted me to shoot with her daughter. The daughter was about 13-14 and I have strict rules about shooting with minors. So I'm busy shooting with the daughter and Nadiya asks if I can get some pictures of her. Of course. I start shooting with her, then the daughter starts shooting mom, and pretty soon Nadiya is going through outfit after outfit. It turned into a marathon shoot. What a blast! Also - the daughter was drop dead gorgeous - I suspect she is a famous model somewhere now.
The next day there was a knock on my door. It was Nadiya and her daughter. No makeup, looking so sweet. They brought me a gift - a red bathrobe. That was a first.
Side note - shortly after this shoot I accepted a job in England so I had to wind down my shooting. I returned to Alaska several years later, and about 8 years after this shoot I crossed paths with Nadiya again. She had undergone a bout with breast cancer and was doing fine. We did a few more shoots and then I had to move again. I hope she is doing good now.
I took these photos in July 2004 at my house in South Anchorage, Alaska.
Had a bit of time at the new library in Birmingham today. I'm not a big fan of the exterior, but the interior has been done really well. Some great photo opportunities. More to come.

Continuing on with the old American road trip shots from 2006 - (pre-digital camera remember!) - we now have left Tombstone and headed north through the wonderful State of Arizona.
During the journey north we happened to stumble upon this place on highway 180 - America's only White Buffalo Ranch! It's geo-tagged about as perfect as I can get it & here's a link also:
www.sacredwhitebuffalo.org/index.html
It's basically a pretty big farm that's a sanctuary to the rare white buffalos - plus they had a donkey, goat and other animals. It's a great visit - sounds lame ass I know - but it was a great place to see during the journey.
This image was taken from their car park, just along the highway and next to their gift shop. Basically, I got out the car and was blown away by the vast open views and their mountains! Shame I didn't have a digital camera, eh :(
Okay breaking news --> this image was NOT done on the iPhone!!! Yup, you hear me right - I know everything lately has been made on this tiny little device that's making up for my lack of a modern computer!! But this was done entirely on my old Mac.
I made it using layers in Photoshop Elements v4 with a free lowres texture i found whilst googling (and yes, version 4 is the newest release I could get for my PPC Mac!). I've never used layers or textures before ......but....... I'm pretty happy with the results! Of course, comments and advice welcome. I must also say a huge thank you to Patty for her help and video tutorials. Cheers Patty :-) :-)
I've a couple more blurry images from this day coming up soon and then we're off to the meteor crater site as we continued on with the 2006 road trip! :-)
Thanks everyone.

I don't allow Hannah playing pens or pencils since I think it is very danger to get hurt (when in my childhood, I almost make my cousin blind due to playing pens)....
But when she grows up and start learning in school, I try to loose my rule and let her use pens, pencils or crayon when adults are here, wish she understand my intention....

Marinovators showcased the creativity of Marin County students in a day-long exhibition at the College of Marin. The event attracted hundreds of children, parents, teachers and local makers, featuring a wide range of science, tech and maker projects: from virtual reality to robots, bio-hacking, drones and paper airplanes.
Geo Monley’s high school maker class showed off ‘MakersField’ -- a cool animatronic city they built together this year at Tam High School in Mill Valley. City features include a lighthouse, illuminated trees, robots, power plants -- and Trump Towers.
Geo and I introduced Tam Makers, our new makerspace and community education program. We offer maker courses, meetups and for adults, high-school and middle-school children. Many visitors stopped by to discuss this project, sign up for some of our classes, and share their feedback and ideas. The overall response was very positive, which bodes well for us.
It was a fun and productive day, and a great way to catch up with the growing maker community in Marin, as well as reconnect with old friends.

Hello all!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Took this photo on Christmas Eve....Ella got a tricycle and I snapped a few while she was learning to ride it. She got a ton of stuff for Christmas. Playing Santa is the funnest thing a parent can possibly do... :D
I actually edited several from these, and when contemplating what to post I just thought this was the cutest, most "Ella" photo. It's only right that the strap is basically across her face.
I would also LOVE it if you would LIKE my facebook page! www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Ben-Minor-Photography/112961898...

"Legs" is a yearling stud colt being exposed to everything he will experience as a race horse. He doesn't seem to mind being hosed off in the least.
One of the most fun places for us to observe and photograph the brown bears is the Russian River. In 2012, we took full advantage of the peak salmon run, as the salmon were plentiful and the bears were out to get their fill.
Think "fishermen" - both of the human kind and also of the bear variety. Here, you see hoards of actual fishermen, with the lines all out in an attempt to catch their limit - usually just a few per day, per person. Some succeed, some don't and leave empty-handed. Often, they share the river with the more skilled "fishermen" - the brown bears of all ages. These bears quite skillfully execute their fishing technique, starting with the minute they show up to the game. The make their way down to the river, access the "competition" (again both humans and other bears), observe patiently the behavior and location of the salmon, decide when exactly they want to strike, launch their effort, and .... BINGO ... they grab their catch, with a much higher success ratio than the humans. As a side bonus, being bears, they have no restrictions or limits to adhere to, and generally speaking, they get the run of the river. Funny how the human fishermen will vacate their spot for the bears when they show up. :-)
After they consume a few of their prized catches, then then become complacent about their superiority on the river. Often, they catch a salmon, play with it for a bit, swing it around and ultimately launch it in the air with enormous force. From there, they move on to the next. Ho hum! As I watch from the shoreline with delight and fascination, it feels so surreal.
Gosh how I miss that place. I remember one night when it got dark and we had to leave the river for the comfort of the campground, I literally became sad and had, what I describe to be the closest to a "hissy fit" as I have exhibited as an adult, because I had to retire for the night. I had to be reminded that there's always another day, more salmon, more bears, more images. The smile then returns to my face.
I want to take this opportunity to share with all of you that I have recently published my very first blog. Those of you who follow my photostream know that the stories behind the images to me are just as much fun to share as the image itself. I think that a blog is a natural extension of that sharing. If you have time or interest to do so, please feel free to check it out:
You can also subscribe to receive updates to the blog. My next post will be about bears! Any ideas, thoughts, or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much for all of your visits and comments. They mean a lot to us. Happy Monday everyone!

This juvenile bald eagle is learning to maneuver on its perch while mom looks on. It kind of looks like a tightrope walker at the circus with its wings helping with balance.
The Cathedral of Learning, a Pittsburgh landmark listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is the centerpiece of the University of Pittsburgh's main campus in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States. Standing at 535 feet (>163 m), the 42-story Late Gothic Revival Cathedral is the tallest educational building in the Western hemisphere and the second tallest university building (fourth tallest educationally-purposed building) in the world. The Cathedral of Learning was commissioned in 1921 and ground was broken in 1926. The first class was held in the building in 1931 and its exterior finished in October 1934, prior to its formal dedication in June, 1937. The Cathedral is a steel frame structure overlaid with Indiana limestone and contains more than 2,000 rooms and windows. The building is often used by the University in photographs, postcards, and other advertisements. (Wikipedia)
