Doing things that scare us is not easy. But, I would argue that it is essential for leading a life you will look back fondly on. Even if you don’t succeed at these things, you will have tested yourself. You will have gone on a journey. And you will have answered questions about yourself. You won’t look back on your life questioning yourself. You lived your life fully. For me doing things… Read More

I love the challenge, commitment and the process involved in running ultra-distance events. The downside is the time required to train and prepare properly. If running was my only passion I wanted to carve out time for it wouldn’t be a big deal. Unfortunately there is this things called a full time job I have to show up for. And there are other passions in my life that I want to make… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 85. We took our dog, Colton, out for a walk along the trails near the Chemung River in Elmira, NY. I of course took my camera as well. I had dog walking duties for the first half of the walk. Colton was being a maniac. It seemed he may rip someone’s arm off yanking on his leash. The hope was I could reign him in until… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 41. Today I decided to get back to one of my favorite subjects, my dogs. I could photograph my dogs all day every day. I love them. They also make great photography subjects for a variety of reasons. They are interesting, funny, and adorable. And most of the time they cooperate for me. No having to search out subjects or wait for the weather to be… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 34. Today after yet another snowstorm here in upstate, New York it was nice to see the skies clear up a little bit. Snow storms of course lead to shoveling. I spent an our shoveling after working today. As I was shoveling the clouds finally started to part. I don’t remember the last time I saw the sun. It was nice to have bright skies. I… Read More

I kicked off the new year by setting some new and ambitious goals/resolutions for January. My goals included health and fitness, art, creativity and work objectives. January Goals

One photo a day challenge: Day 14. One of the goals of this photography challenge has been to allow myself opportunities to be more creative in my photography. Creating a new photograph every single day gives me more opportunities to stretch and try new things. When I am not creating new photography as frequently I feel pressure to “get it right”. I don’t feel free to take chances. I don’t challenge myself… Read More

It has been 1 full week of my one photo a day challenge. Everything has been going well. Some days I feel more motivated than others. But that is the whole point of this project. Stop relying on feeling motivated or inspired. Just do the work. Do it every day. Build a Practice. Each day when I work on creating my daily photo there is more than one image created. Hopefully each… Read More

Day 5 of the one photo a day challenge. My wife and I decided to do an Advent Calendar for the first time this past holiday season. We found one that fits us perfectly. We have been huge FRIENDS fans. And we found FRIENDS themed Advent Calendar. I liked this one item that it included. It fits well for me so I currently have it sitting on my desk in my office….

2020 is the year that it was. I am not going to dwell on it. Not going to write a recap of that year. I am looking forward to the future and planning for all the great things to come. When I think about the future I think about two areas that are important to me. I love and enjoy working on my creative endeavors through my photography. My health and fitness… Read More
