Growing up I loved animals. I was very interested in wildlife. But I did not grow up with much exposure to wildlife in any real way in my actual in person experience. I remember being fascinated with animals though. One animal that always interested me was the Bald Eagle. Bald Eagles are simply iconic. They are the bird often seen soaring overhead in movies, despite the sound often played with them often… Read More

I love public art. Public art gives so much flavor and emotion to a place. Having artwork on display for all to see helps to bring out vitality. I also think that public art is inspiring and aspirational. Being able to walk through a community and see artwork on the regular allows people to think more openly about art. People see art as a real tangible thing in life. Not just something… Read More

I have not had many opportunities to photograph beavers. This was a fun photograph from back in 2010. On this outing I was exploring photography opportunities at Hickories Park in Owego, New York. I spotted this beaver nibbling on a tree branch. I maneuvered myself into a place where I could see the beaver and not disturb them. Watching and photographing from between the trees. The out of focus tree trunks in… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 365. Well We did it. 1 photo a day for 365 days. That was quite an experience. I was hoping that this Gerbera Daisy would be in full bloom for the final photo of this project. And while it wasn’t quite in full bloom I was able to create some interesting photos. The petals had opened up farther than they were previously. I was able to… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 364. The other day I shared a photo of a Gerbera Daisy I was growing. The flower blossom was jus tin the beginning phases of blooming. Today I have an update to that photo as the flower continues to develop. The flower petals are starting to open up. It is possible to look in and see the yellow center of the flower now. Maybe by tomorrow… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 363. Pet portraits are always fun. They can be very interesting. And challenging. Sometimes results may vary. The outcome is often completely reliant on the pets. This is especially the case when there has been no training and no food inducements involved. Today I set up my lights and tried to convince one of my cats, any of my cats to approach me so I could… Read More

Now just to register for each race as registration opens up. I am already registered for one race in March. Today I just registered for one race that isn’t until June, but I figured I might as well register for it… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 361. As fall and winter progressed her in upstate, New York I decided to move some of my potted perennial flowers indoor to try to preserve them for next spring. The hope was to at very least preserve the plants in a dormant state over the cold months. Then assuming they would still be alive, put them back outside in the spring for them to return… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 360. Having a macro lens is great for exploring small objects. I also love it for exploring textures. I am not sure there are more interesting ways to explore texture than with a macro lens. Especially if you shoot with the macro lens set at an aperture as wide open as it can be. This really sets the focus on the subject of the image and… Read More

One photo a day challenge: Day 359. A nice relaxed holiday just the way I like it. Visited with some family for Christmas morning. Then came home and gave our dogs their presents. Our Bernese Mountain Dog Colton actually tried to open his this year.
