Just a short drive could be the key to unlocking photography. I live in an area full of overwhelming natural beauty. I often don’t have to go far to find photography subjects that I love. However, I love to photograph a great many things. And as they say variety is the spice of life. So, I try to mix it up in my photography. Letchworth State Park has a landscape like no… Read More

The author Steven Pressfield talks about Resistance. The force that keeps us from pursue it our creative passions. Ever since being introduced to his ideas it has become more and more obvious to me. The resistance is holding me back. I have struggled this year a lot with my writing here on this blog. And I have struggled pushing through the Resistance to work on other creative projects. Even saying yes to… Read More

I struggle with wanting to research things to death so that I can get it just right. Buy the right product. Use the right software. And on and on. When photographing public parks I often get hung up with excluding anything man made from the photos. I really try to focus on the natural part of the scene. It really bothers me if I look back at a photo and realize there… Read More

The fall leaves seem to be dropping from the trees so fast this year. Quickly shifting through shades of color. Brown leaves drop. Scattering on the ground. Blowing down the road. I love fall foliage and I feel like I have missed almost all of it already. I really wanted to get outside and hike in it and photograph the fall leaves. On Friday after work I headed up to Ithaca to… Read More

I love photographing Watkins Glen State PArk in the fall. My favorite time is when the leaves have been changing and are starting to fall. Unfortunately this time of year seems to be increasingly fleeting. The leaves turn and then fall so quickly. Leaving behind bare trees and piles of dead leaves. I love the transition period. I like to capture images with both leaves on the trees and leaves freshly fallen… Read More

I love being out in the woods. I love trees. And I especially love trees with a unique look or texture to them. Think peeling flaking bark. Jagged lines and textures. Different shapes and surfaces. Tree trunks with color. Colors often generated by living in communion with other living organisms. Moss, lichen, vines. Most of all I like shape and texture. And the more unique and interesting it is the more I… Read More

I am fascinated by leaves. They appear almost as if from nowhere. If you aren’t paying clos enough attention, one minute trees are bare and the next second they are full of lush green leaves. The most fascinating times to see leaves are when they are first beginning to grow and emerge in the spring and when they are changing colors and falling in the Autumn. It is during these two times… Read More

Letchworth State Park is a beautiful place to visit. Its beauty is featured in so many different ways. Waterfalls, Rivers, Gorges, Overlooks, Trees, Forest, Trails. And the scenery is different depending on when you visit and the seasons. Not to mention this park is quite large. The shear size of the park makes it a challenge to see just the highlights on a day trip. The park deserves a multi day adventure…. Read More

Of all the things I love about dogs it is simply watching dogs be dogs that makes me most happy. And firmly in that category is seeing what dogs and their humans are capable of together. Dogs and humans bring out the best in each other. Obedience I am always dumbfounded when I watch dogs in the obedience trials. When I see a dog sit and stay while their human just walks… Read More

One of my favorite things about a dog show is that there are always opportunities to learn. So many knowledgeable people to talk to about dogs. Different kinds of dogs. Different kinds of people. Doing different kinds of things with their dogs. Everyone leading different lives with different life experiences to draw from. Learning starts with seeing. An introduction. Something you never knew. Finding out that something exists that you were hitherto… Read More
