“The deadliest enemies of nations are not their foreign foes; they always dwell within their borders. … The nation blessed above all nations is she in whom the civic genius of the people does the saving day by day, by acts without external picturesqueness; by speaking, writing, voting reasonably; by smiting corruption swiftly; by good temper between parties; by the people knowing true men when they see them, and preferring them as… Read More

“Although the job of a Congressman involves several different roles, the main ones are as representative and legislator. As a representative, a member serves as an agent for his constituents, ensuring that their views are heard in Congress and that they are treated fairly by federal bureaucrats and other public officials. As a legislator, a member participates in the lawmaking process by drafting bills and amendments, engaging in debate, and attempting to… Read More

“For twelve years this Nation was afflicted with hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothing government. The nation looked to government but the government looked away. Nine mocking years with the golden calf and three long years of the scourge! Nine crazy years at the ticker and three long years in the breadlines! Nine mad years of mirage and three long years of despair! Powerful influences strive today to restore that kind of government with its… Read More

The sky is rarely the same from moment to moment. That is except when there is a cloudless sky. And people often exclaim that it is a beautiful day with phrases such as a “bluebird sky”. And for me that doesn’t quite resonate. Sure it is nice if it is sunny and warms up. But to me a cloudless sky is least interesting and isn’t particularly beautiful. And I don’t really like… Read More

Wow. Photographing fungus. Gotta say of all the ways I imagined photography taking me I definitely did not see this coming. How did this happen to me. Fungus are interesting parts of nature. And the ones that colonize trees really catch my eye.

I enjoy photographing anything that creates a sense of texture. This can appear in so many different ways. From man made substances to natural occurring phenomena. From enormous mountains to tiny grains of sand. One thing I often feel drawn to is ice. Ice can occur in so manny different shapes, sizes, and forms. Ice occurs in so many different circumstances. But the one universal circumstance for ice is that it has… Read More

I love to photograph water. Particularly bodies of water in landscapes. More specifically water that moves through a landscape. It doesn’t have to be a huge flowing river, or a massive waterfall. Even a small trickle over some rocks can draw my attention. And the more opportunities for different photos there are the better. This is why creeks and streams are so amazing. They are abundant. And the landscapes around them can… Read More

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
