I love camping. My wife and I started going on regular camping trips years ago and it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences. Often when we camp we will take one of our dogs. But sometimes the dogs are not amenable to the idea. A few years ago We attempted to take Colton, our Bernese Mountain Dog, and River, our Border Collie, on a short camping trip together. We had… Read More

There are uncountable different types of insects in the world. If I wrote a post about every single type of insect I have photographed we could be here a while. That is if I could even identify what type of insect it was or if it was different from something else I have photographed before. So instead I created a few broad categories to write about separately. Insects that are easily identifiable… Read More

I really don’t like shopping. I generally try to avoid it. But on a recent vacation I did buy some clothes. Turns out it did not all fit me. The closest location to return the clothes is 2 hours away from me in Rochester, New York. So, how to justify a 2 hour drive to return clothes that don’t fit? Photography for the win. I have a guide book for waterfalls in… Read More

This is like a chicken or the egg problem for which came first in my photography. Photographing flowers or photographing insects. I enjoy both these days and have for a while. When photographing flowers it is inevitable that you would notice more and more insects the longer you looked. So I suspect that my initial interest was in the flowers. And then upon discovering the insects I turned my lens there next…. Read More

Salamanders are so cool and very elusive. I wish I spent as much time looking for them and successfully finding them now as I did as a child. Sometimes I get lucky and just find a salamander right where I can train my lens on it. It always seems if I am intentionally seeking out a salamander to photograph I can never find one. I have seen salamanders on the edges of… Read More

My wife and I really enjoy camping. It is one of our favorite was to take a break from the every day. We try to find a campground that looks nice and scenic. Often staying at state parks. And we try to pick a campsite within the campground that seems at least a little more removed from the other campsites so we can have more privacy and more nature. This year we… Read More

I photograph a wide variety of subjects. I generally photograph what I love. And I love wildlife. I don’t photograph wildlife as much as I would like even though wildlife photography was my inspiration for starting this photography journey. I think a large part of this is because wildlife photography has a large component of luck. We rely on the animals showing up, and there is no guarantee that will actually happen…. Read More

One of the many things I never saw coming when I began this journey into photography is how much I would end up enjoying photography of insects. They come in so many shapes and sizes. And insects are so interesting looking. Especially when you are able to get a good look at them. And getting a good look at them is the whole point of nature photography. Capture a fleeting moment forever…. Read More

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love seeing the leaves change colors in the fall. Maybe that is you, but it definitely is not me. I love the changing colors of tree leaves. I love the time of year when the leaves start to change. The new colors appearing in the world bring a new sense of vibrancy to being outside in the cooling temperatures of the season. I am all for… Read More

I love to get out into nature. Often when I plan to go outside there is a specific reason. I want to photograph a waterfall. Or I want to hike some trails. And some places are great for specific experiences. But what really can make a place special is if it is a haven of a wide variety of natural experiences. This is what I love about Tanglewood Nature Center.
