“What do we mean when we say that first of all we seek liberty? I often wonder whether we do not rest our hopes too much upon constitutions, upon laws, and upon courts. These are false hopes; believe me, these are false hopes. Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women; when it dies there, no constitution, no law, no court can save it; no constitution, no law, no court can… Read More

“Totalitarianism is never content to rule by external means, namely, through the state and a machinery of violence; thanks to its peculiar ideology and the role assigned to it in this apparatus of coercion, totalitarianism has discovered a means of dominating and terrorizing human beings from within.” – Hannah Arendt If you like fall colors switch it up from a single leaf to a mountain range full of fall colors: Autumn in… Read More

“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world’s greatest civilizations… Read More

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t love seeing the leaves change colors in the fall. Maybe that is you, but it definitely is not me. I love the changing colors of tree leaves. I love the time of year when the leaves start to change. The new colors appearing in the world bring a new sense of vibrancy to being outside in the cooling temperatures of the season. I am all for… 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

I love fall. And I love photographing fall. Unfortunately the most spectacular aspect of fall, the one we most closely associate with fall, the changing colors of the leaves is quite fleeting. In some places it is more fleeting than others. It is hard to define a timeline. It is challenging to know when to go out and try to capture these colorful leaves in photos. Due to the fickle nature of… Read More
