One thing in life is always for sure... The sun will set in the west.

About Me

..
: You found my MySpace page! First of all, my name is Conrad Flemming and I'm the owner/photographer of Creative Focus photography. I have a beautiful and wonderful almost-7-year-old daughter, Tiahna, who lives with me full time. A Pembroke Corgie named Teek, he's a handful! And a couple of Morgan horses that I keep out at my dad's farm. I've been in business for 5 years and specialize in photography for equine (horses), dogs and pets, artists, actors, models, seniors/graduates, and family. I've been completely digital since I first opened my doors to the public in 2002. I use state of the art equipment and software, but it's my imagination and experience that's kept my business going. I'm the busiest during the spring, summer, and fall months travelling to horse shows on the weekends. Check out my calendar on my website, if I'm in your area that weekend you can save on mileage by scheduling me sometime before or after the show. I'm often looking for new poses and styles of photography. So if you have a great idea, contact me! We'll be able to work out an arrangement!I'm now scheduling private one on one classes to teach Digital Photography, Adobe Photoshop, and Portraiture. Let me know what you'd like to learn and I'll create a class just for you. Please make sure you have your own equipment and software though, because I don't provide it.Check out this Rochester, Minn. theatre! Click the logo below!

I'd like to meet:

I'm always looking for new clients! Especially clients with vision and an eye for artistic portraiture. As much fun as it is to take your everyday textbook poses, I'd prefer to go with more style and a creative edge. I'd also like to meet other photography enthusiasts, artists, musicians, models, and anyone that has an interesting view on the world. And of course I'm always willing to make new friends! Heck, you can never have enough friends, that's for sure!

Music:

Here's my friends' band! When they're famous they will forget about me, but at least I can say I knew these guys personally!(click below to hear them)Before you go any further, check these guys out! SILLY LITTLE NOTHINGS (click the picture to hear them)I like pretty much anything that sounds good and have lyrics that don't constantly repeat. I grew up with country and western music. I constantly and consistently listen to that. Once in a while I like to visit my childhood and listen to some 80's and 90's music. Then I'll move on to NPR to keep up with what the heck is going on. I also really enjoy alternative, punk-type music, good ol' rock n roll, and heavy metal. Fun, rowdy stuff!

Movies:

I'm a Netflix addict! Add me to your friends list!

Television:

I'm an avid watcher of "The Family Guy" and now my all-time new favorite "HEROES"!

Books:

Mostly I read photography magazines and books, but I like a good Stephen King novel as well as the next person.

Heroes:

My parents are my heroes. They rock! And they didn't murder me when I was young and at my worst; I have to appreciate that! My other heroes are anyone that bucks the system and does what they want to do most in their life... just as long as it doesn't involve hurting others.

Who would club such a cute little face.... goochy goochy goo! Should other people in other countries be allowed to kill seals?  Is it cruel to take part in this so-called slaughter of these cute...

Voting Is Done!

Okay, I voted right after I got my kid off to school.  It was just like any other day, except no more slanderous ads and I got to stand in a long line and cast my all-important vote. It's funny, ...

TIME BETWEEN (another poem by me)

I wrote this one for someone I cared very deeply about.  We'd been apart for a long time and I missed her badly and she missed me, so I wrote this for her.  Of course things between us fell ...

A Cowboy's Sunset (a poem)

If any of you have looked at my photos, you'll know I love sunsets.  There's something intoxicating about them, something passionate.  I wrote this poem a long time ago, I'm not the greatest...
