In what appears to be on its way to becoming an annual tradition I have been at the Mighty Mosquito 99 event 3 out of the last 4 years. My first appearance was in 2021 to attempt the solo 100 mile event. And then I have been back twice to participate in the relay with a great group of friends. And I probably would have been there 4 years in a row… Read 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. Some of my weaknesses as a holographic and human is that I don’t always have the patience required for a given situation and I don’t… Read More

Sometimes I don’t share things or do things because I don’t think they will be good enough. I think all of us can relate to a thought like that. In school we didn’t give an answer because we were afraid to be wrong. WE didn’t give our opinion on a topic because we were afraid that we would stand out from the crowd. WE just keep our heads down and try to… Read More

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?

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

We were expecting Bears and what we got was Deer. All of the research and information we read about Shenandoah National Park talked about Bears. 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.

I love dogs. It’s no secret. We have shared our lives with many dogs over the yers. Then there are the times we go out specifically seeking to put more dogs into our lives. One way we do this is by going to dog shows. There are always so many amazing and beautiful dogs there.
