A big part of life is about who you meet along the way. There are a lot of things I would never have done if I did not meet the right people at the right time in my life. Being an introvert it sounds strange to my own ear to say that a big part of life is those you meet along the way. But it is not about the quantity of… Read More

I have always been fascinated by nature. I enjoyed the science and learning about nature. This was primarily focused on the animal world. I was even a biology major in college at one point. I loved learning about animals. This love of animals drove my love for photography. As I became interested in photography it became a means to explore my love of animals. Photography for me has always been a way… Read More

One of my favorite landscapes to photographs a re frozen waterfalls. However, the weather is not always right to create a nice scene. Sometimes it just isn’t cold enough long enough to start to freeze the water. And sometimes there is no snow. The challenge to being someone who loves photographing specific occurrences in nature like frozen waterfalls is that you have to be able to get out there to take the… Read More

Weather here in upstate New York is fickle. It is especially so during winter. Temperatures can range from 50 degrees to -10 and the windchill can be punishing, The last several years there has not really been much in the way of significant snowfall during the colder months. For me that makes enjoying photography a little more challenging. I prefer to photograph nature, but the plain drab scenes during a winter with… Read More

I never thought I would write a sentence like this in a blog post, but here goes. Spoilers for season 1 and episode 6 specifically of the Apple+ TV series Silo. I am not a TV critic and I do not play one on TV. I watch TV and movies to be entertained. I want to Feel something when I am watching. Beautiful visuals and emotional stories. I am late getting to… Read More

Over the years of photography I have added a few new photography tools to my kit. Each time I add a new tool it is because it serves a specific purpose. A purpose that will hopefully be able to capture new images. I often don’t get out to take photos as much as I would like during the colder months here in New York. So, whenever I have a chance I try… Read More

I love photographing waterfalls. What I love about waterfalls is the constant motion. Constant change. No two images of a waterfall are ever exactly the same. This goes double for waterfall images in the fall. I love to find a waterfall where there are leaves in the water. The leaves in motion add another irreplaceable element to an image. Leaves flowing down stream create interesting streaks in the water. They are there… Read More

I love getting out for a good adventure. I am so fortunate to have friends who also enjoy an adventure. This weekend I was able to explore some new to me trails. That is the best kind of adventure. A friend of ours got the idea for this adventure and planned it out for us. The plan was to hike approximately 15 miles point to point. We would hike the entire Interloken… 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

I have developed a great fondness for birds over the years of my photography. I always enjoy seeing new and different birds. The more you spend time watching birds the opportunities to find new birds are fewer and farther in between. You’ve now seen all the obvious birds. To find birds you haven’t seen or don’t see often you may have to look closer. Look deeper. Small birds are often overlooked or… Read More
