My photography typically focuses on nature, wildlife, and animals. On specific occasions like sports events I photograph people. Probably the least often subject I photograph would be any type of cityscapes. I love seeing beautiful photography of cities. Skylines of cities can be majestic. Photography of life unfolding in the concrete jungle can be inspiring. For me cities simply don’t inspire me to get my camera out, most of the time. I… Read More
When I think about photography I have two overriding philosophies. Take photographs whenever you can. Use whatever camera you have to take the photos. In photography circles a lot of debate and conversation can be had about when is the best time to create photography. While there are some merits to this conversation, to me the answer is always take photographs anytime you have the opportunity to take photographs. In this age… Read More
I have documented races in a variety of ways over the years. I love photography so I almost always have a camera with me regardless of how I find myself at a race. There is also a variety of tools available for photographing races. Sometimes I find myself at a race because it is an interesting community event or I have friends running the race. Or maybe I am on vacation and… Read More

I really enjoy photographing people sharing their craft with others. Watching and photographing people doing something they enjoy is a lot of fun. It was interesting how the contrast between the bright sunlit outdoor area in the background and the… Read More
Going to see cool artwork is always fun. I also enjoy photographing artwork. It gives me a way to explore the artwork in more detail on my own time. And I can then share the artwork I have been able to see with all of you. I went to the Corning Museum of Glass with my camera. The use of the Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro lens allowed me to get up close… 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
One thing that is always interesting is to use my photography to capture other works of art. My father is a painter. I have gone to some of his exhibits and photographed his artwork as it hangs on the wall. It is interesting to see if I can create a fun take on the original piece of art using my camera. I find that if I shoot the original piece at a… Read More
Over the course of 2021 I did something I have never done before. I took at least one photo every single day. Often many, many more than one photo. Then I took one of the photos I just created on that day and I shared it here on my blog. 2021 One photo a day project: One reason I wanted to do this is there are many times where I feel stuck,… Read More
