Wow. Photographing fungus. Gotta say of all the ways I imagined photography taking me I definitely did not see this coming. How did this happen to me. Fungus are interesting parts of nature. And the ones that colonize trees really catch my eye.

This is like a chicken or the egg problem for which came first in my photography. Photographing flowers or photographing insects. I enjoy both these days and have for a while. When photographing flowers it is inevitable that you would notice more and more insects the longer you looked. So I suspect that my initial interest was in the flowers. And then upon discovering the insects I turned my lens there next…. Read More

It can be a challenge to go out and create photography as often as we would like to. It can be even more challenging to go out and go someplace specific for your photography. But guess what? There isn’t a need to go anywhere to create your photography. If you are feeling the urge to create some photography it can be as simple as opening your door. Open that door. Smell the… 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

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

Photography has lead me to become more interested in so many things. Parts of life I never really thought about that now I have a little more knowledge of and understanding of because photography guided me there. Butterflies were never more than a passing interest for me before photography. I didn’t know much about them. I still don’t know a lot. The only butterfly I could probably identify would be a Monarch… Read More

Ponds are one of my favorite features to find in a landscape. There is so much you can do with a pond photographically. Ponds also do so much for nature, which I find interesting. We liked the idea of a pond so much that we bought a house with a pond on its property and the pond was a large part of what drew us to our current home. There is a… Read More

I always love finding new flowers to photograph. Something I have never seen before always piques my interest. Several years ago I saw these tiny little purple flowers growing along the edge of the woods where we live. I started photographing them and looking for them every year. And the flowers returned every year. Always blooming in the same little area of the woods. Never seeming to spread. I assumed these flowers… Read More

I love flowering trees. Over the years we have tried to plant a variety of flowering trees around our house. We have had varying degrees of success in this endeavor. I do not have the greenest of thumbs. And I probably do not pick the best trees and or plant them in the best part of the yard, or prepare them and care for them the way they should be before and… Read More

I really wanted to create a blog post to highlight some subjects that many people might night even think about. I feel like I can do that through my photography pretty well. However, the writing part of the blog post experience is more of a struggle. I don’t have any particular knowledge or perspective to share on the subject for this post. Stones. We see rocks and stones laying on the ground… Read More
