Places Online Daniel Slocum Image Use
By Daniel Slocum | June 12, 2009
PlacesOnline.com, web based travel information site has secured the rights to post one of my images from the Hilo area of the Big Island of Hawaii.
Here’s the link to their use of my photo of Kulaniapia Falls which they’ve incorrectly identified as Rainbow Falls. Both falls are in or near Hilo so they have it in the right places photo gallery just identified incorrectly.
Thank you to The Inn at Kulaniapia Falls Bed & Breakfast Resort for allowing me access to their property to shoot the falls. It’s a great place to stay, quiet, private waterfall, very nice accommodations and wonderful hosts. This photo was taken from the deck of the main house just after a heavy rain in February of 2008.
Thank you placesonline.com for purchasing my photo.

Heart Shaped Rock
By Daniel Slocum | June 3, 2009
Once again I’ve drawn post inspiration from my friend Stephanie at The Red Clay Diaries. Today’s blog post Hasta luego, Abuelo will make you smile at the indescribable goodness of God through the miracle gift of a rock to a 6-year old.
While reading her post I was prompted of a photo I took along the banks of the Deschutes River as it rolls through Tumwater Falls Park just a few miles from my home.
I post this not to bring attention to myself or my photography but to bring glory to The God of the universe who places his signature on everything and with whom Charlie’s Father is now standing face-2-face. May that God, the one True God, bless the Wetzel family in this difficult time here on earth.

Steak n Shake
By Daniel Slocum | June 3, 2009
A college friend of mine has a blog called The Red Clay Diaries. In it she writes about her adventures as a mom of 3 in Georgia. For some this topic would be boring but Stephanie is a good writer and her family gives her lots of humorous material. I encourage you to check it out sometime.
Her most recent post. It’s Steak n Shake, an’ Ah hayulped! prompted me to drag out a photo of a Steak n Shake I made while on business in Bloomington Illinois. On the West side of town is a Steak n Shake. It’s adjacent to a Hampton Inn where I pretty much lived for a year while working a contract at State Farm. One evening after a thunderstorm fraught day as I pulled into the hotel parking lot I was met with the sun setting directly behind the Steak n Shake. What a view!
I quickly pulled my camera out and snapped a handful of shots through the windshield of my car. Later I removed the rain drops from the windshield that showed up on the image with Adobe Photoshop and this was the result. Hope you like it.

Snoqualmie Falls
By Daniel Slocum | May 25, 2009
Memorial Day 2009. My sincere thank you to those who’ve lost loved ones in battle for the freedom I enjoy as a citizen of the United States of America. Today, I thought of you as I drove my family to see friends and Snoqualmie Falls just outside of Seattle Washington.
The falls were beautiful and mighty. May its power as it falls 270 feet be a reminder of the power of a life given in sacrifice and the beauty we all get to enjoy because of it.

Seasonal Waterfall in Gifford Pinchot National Forest
By Daniel Slocum | April 24, 2009
I love waterfalls, any size, any kind. I really love the big ones that blow your mind with awesome thundering power. But sometimes.. little gifts are wondrous and this waterfall is no exception. Traveling along a Forest Service road in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest (WA, USA) last weekend I spotted this unnamed seasonal waterfall by chance as we drove by. I’m glad I did.

Front Yard Treasure
By Daniel Slocum | November 2, 2008
I had the pleasure of shooting some photos before attending church with my family today. For the past couple of weeks the hydrangeas in the front yard have been slowly fading from deep blue through many shades of purple. It was the hydrangeas that I’ve been wanting to shoot. This morning I achieved that goal. Here is one of the many. Please let me know your thoughts.

It’s Senior Portrait Time
By Daniel Slocum | October 1, 2008
Wow! It’s been too long since I’ve taken the time to post to my photo blog. After a long hard summer filled with a motorcycle crash and the purchase of and moving into a new home I’m finally starting to shoot photos again.
This post is to draw attention to the fact that I’m a great choice for Senior Photos. For a rate of $100 plus sales tax you’ll get one hour of my time shooting at the location of your choice followed by my spending at least one additional hour processing the photos through Photoshop for optimal color and clarity. All photos are provided on DVD ready for printing at your favorite print maker. Mine happens to be www.Mpix.com.
Usually, this effort yields from 60-100 photos which you can use in any way you desire. Click the images below to see slide shows of two young men I’ve photographed this year.
