There are a lot of photography subjects that just came natural to me. Photographing them was just a natural extension of who I am. Turning my love of photography to that part of my life I already loved. Photographing nature, wildlife, dogs, and sports is just part of who I am. It can take a little more effort and sometimes a little more planning to photograph subjects that don’t come natural to… Read More

The best way to practice photography regularly is to use what you have available. So in that vein, I am going to write a series of blog posts about how I do that. First and foremost in photography you obviously need a camera. Any camera. Any camera at all. You can create beautiful images with any camera. This is especially true in an age when the majority of photographed are viewed on… Read More

Over the next several posts here I want to talk a little about how I became involved in photography. I’ll talk a little about what first got me into photography. Then I will share about the journey I took to get from my first memories of photography through where I am presently. My discussion will take the form of a few different tracts. I’ll talk about my personal experiences. What interactions in… Read More

Where do you find inspiration and motivation to create art? I am of two minds about artistic creation and inspiration and motivation. I have really come to believe that if you want to be someone who creates art on a regular basis, especially if you aspire to be a professional, you have to show up on a daily basis and do the work. You have to do the work of creating art…. Read More

Photography tools are ever evolving. Change happens more rapidly now than ever before. The choices you make in the tools you use will shape the photography you create. In my last blog post I talked about some of the first tools I ever used to create photography. In this post I will talk more about the gear I have used to develop my photography after I began to fall in love with… Read More

I don’t often recall a lot from my childhood, but one thing I do remember distinctly for some reason is having a camera. I had a camera that used the 110 format film. For those who don’t remember, or weren’t born yet, the style of camera that at least I had was basically a small brick. Especially when compared to what we have available to us now. The camera itself was a… Read More

There are so many things to love about photography, but what I think it really comes down to for me is time. Time is always moving. We never get a second back. No replays or do overs. We can’t press pause and stop to enjoy this one thing longer than the time we have in that moment.

I have probably written about The Corning Museum of Glass before. Probably in a very similar manner. So this may be a repetitive post for some who have seen other posts. But, I feel like this is something I want to write about even if repeatedly because it is important to me to write about other forms of art and local places I can engage with art. And I love to talk… Read More

I love public art. I have gone through most of my life probably not even noticing it most of the time. But, as is often true in life I have grown and changed and come to appreciate art more and more. This includes public art displays. In my area there has been a beautiful resurgence in public art. This resurgence has made me more aware and appreciative of all the creative forces… Read More

In 2021 I did something I had never done before. I took on a challenge in my photography that would hopefully push me out of my comfort zone. I started a the year off with a 30 day photography challenge. During that time I took at least one, usually way more than one, photograph every day. And then I shared one photo taken that day here on my blog. Then after one… Read More
