There are so many different ways to create photography. A wide array of subjects to photograph. Different niches to explore. And there are a bevy of styles to test out. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Where to start?

It was a long road to get here. In 2022 I took a planned year off from running ultra marathons to let my body recover and to try some new things. Some of the new things included injuries. Nothing major and I didn’t have any big races planned that required training. I just coasted on my accumulated fitness. Basically just running races with no training. In 2023 I was hoping to return… Read More

Growing up we all have ideas about who we want to be as our lives progress. We think about jobs and careers that we might want to have. We think about things we would not want to do. And we also think about aspects of life we would choose to pursue or not. Get married? Have children? Own a home or rent? Live in a city or in the country? These are… Read More

When it comes to our creative pursuits, we all gravitate towards different things. I obviously gravitated towards photography. Maybe you are a painter or a sculptor. But even within each type of creative endeavor there are sub categories and niches that we fall into. Some we like and some we avoid. Maybe you write fiction novels. Or Maybe you only write short poems. For me there are certain types of photography I… Read More

I love running. And as much as I love running I love photographing running even more. I was recently asked to join the amazing crew that puts on the Worlds End Ultras at Worlds End State Park as one of their photographers for the race. I fell in love with Worlds End State Park while training for and running the 2018 Worlds End Ultra 50k. I have been back to this park… Read More

It seemed like you would go for a casual stroll and just see a handful of bears right along the side of the road. Talk of bear boxes and proper storage of food. Reading about the highest concentrations of black bears. Constant mentions of bears on every… Read More

One of my favorite types of photography to pursue is landscape photography. And within that field of photography one of my favorite niches is waterfall photography. There are so many reasons to love waterfalls. But, I am not going to get into every single on of them here in this short post. I often write about waterfall photography so search on my site for waterfalls to learn more.

Hiking. I enjoy hiking. I often seek out trails to hike and explore them with my camera. This can vary from local river trails right in town, to local nature centers, nearby state parks and trails that traverse the entire state but passes nearby where i live.

There are certain subjects that I really like to photograph. I will seek them out and try to capture a variety of images of them. This is especially true when I am pursuing photography in the area where I live. Sometimes when we travel we can get excited about photographing new things. And new things are great and should be celebrated. But don’t forget about the things you love already.

Water in motion is one of my favorite subjects. Water in motion never presents the exact same image twice. The water keeps moving and flowing, constantly changing. And over time the flow of water can change the entire landscape.
