The Meadow’s Golden Glow
The Meadow's Golden Glow, originally uploaded by Doug van Kampen (thewoodenshoes). It's been such a long time since I've been out to actually make landscape photographs...too long.

1941 Chevrolet Special DeLuxe Convertable, originally uploaded by Doug van Kampen. If there had to be a classic car I would ever want to be my own, it would be what you see above. Enjoy my friends! ** The 1941 Chevrolet Master DeLuxe and Special DeLuxe were a sensation from the day of their introduction, for a number of good reasons. First, the 1941 →
Finding My Way
Finding My Way, originally uploaded by Doug van Kampen. This image was originally made back in the extremely HOT summer of 2008.

Miss Blue Eyes
Miss Blue Eyes, originally uploaded by Doug van Kampen. It hasn't been a long time since I've made an image...it's just been a long time since I've posted something. Call it a "refinement" period, call it a blue period, call it "I've been too freaking busy to spend time on flickr". The best part about the last couple on months though...images like →

Hands on History
Hands on History, originally uploaded by van Kampen Photography. I can't tell you the number of times that I've both encouraged people and been encouraged to take advantage of activities near our home.

It’s Not About Me…
It's Not About Me..., originally uploaded by van Kampen Photography. I would like to state the obvious before I begin in this small endeavor to explain what I am thankful for. Now, don't get me wrong, there are many different times throughout the year when I think of how much family and friends mean to me, how their sacrifice and friendship →
