The Enchanted Kingdom


Disney World nuff said

This one of my most vivid images of Disney World. I was so excited for the trip and especially for my children. We spent so much time planning the trip, so much money attending the park. So much time sitting in that damn time share presentation that I never thought would end just to get a pass for a day at the Disney parks. We were at the park only a few hours when these two apparently hit the wall. At $75 each WAKE UP!! They later woke and enjoyed the day, and two years later they still talk about Disney World.

Sheila Benditz


amatuer body builder Shelia Benditz reflects after a hard workout. Dedicated, this photo was taken a day after Sheila had won a fitness competition in the Masters division. This 57 year old athlete was just as focused as she was already planning for her next competition that was less than a month away.

Emily Bacher





Is this how women really watch TV? Most men hope that women watch TV like model Emily Bacher. Maybe she's watching ESPN too! This lovely model can be found on Model Mayhem (#317240)

The Neon Boneyard Las Vegas, Nevada


The Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas, Nevada is a outdoor museum that is home to many of the vintage signs that made Sin City famous. Some of the signs are from the 70's era Las Vegas, that have been replaced with newer digital and laser signs that run more efficiently and cheaper. Once the signs were removed from casinos there was junked many of the times, presently, many of these signs are being restored to be put on display in the future museum district of Las Vegas, Nevada.

I Shoot, Therefore I Am

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Jason Oliphant, and I love photography as much as I love life. My passion for life has fueled my passion for photography. I see the world in pictures, rather if I am looking at a homeless man at the bus stop or a stranger in a elevator. My favorite feeling in photography is making time stop. When you take a photo or are in a photograph, there is a time stamp in your life from that moment on. Years later when you look at the photo, like listening to your favorite song, you can sometimes remember where you were when you heard the song for the first time likewise, you see a old photo, you remember where you were, the day you were having and maybe the way you felt as you posed for the photograph. When taking a photo, you should feel empowered that you are acting as a historian stopping time and saving a moment for a lifetime....
