As we age, if we are doing this life thing right we grow and we change, hopefully for the better, over the years. Our interests, beliefs, and values might change. The things we enjoy change. We develop new passions and some things maybe fall aside. When I was in college I thought my real interest was in psychology. But that interest could only thrive in an academic setting. Then I discovered photography… Read More

I have been struggling a lot to create any photography this winter. I can’t remember the last time I photographed anything. I don’t know if it just the times we are living in getting me down. Or that I have just been too distracted and unfocused. Allowing the flow of social media to wash over me. Or maybe I am trying too hard to find “balance” by spending a little bit of… Read More

“He who permits himself to tell a lie once, finds it much easier to do it a second and third time, till at length it becomes habitual; he tells lies without attending to it, and truths without the world’s believing him. This falsehood of the tongue leads to that of the heart, and in time depraves all its good dispositions.” – Thomas Jefferson, 1785 Follow this path into the sunset at one… Read More

“For twelve years this Nation was afflicted with hear-nothing, see-nothing, do-nothing government. The nation looked to government but the government looked away. Nine mocking years with the golden calf and three long years of the scourge! Nine crazy years at the ticker and three long years in the breadlines! Nine mad years of mirage and three long years of despair! Powerful influences strive today to restore that kind of government with its… Read More

When I first got into photography I imagined photographing majestic creatures. Bears, mountain lions, moose and similar animals. I was inspired by the types of stunning imagery you see in National Geographic. And while I have been fortunate enough to se and photograph a few of those types of animals on occasion they do not make up the bulk of my wildlife photography. The real key is to come to appreciate the… Read More

Normally one of the activities I participate in most over the course of the year is running and I do a fair amount of running races. And then I like to write about it and I do a big recap at the end of the year about all my running adventures. Well this year I did much less running than normal due to an IT band issue. I only participated in two… Read More

How did I even get here? Well, ever since I became interested in endurance sports in the form of running I have been pursuing challenge. Maybe pursuing challenge is what I have always doing in all aspects of my life, but it has become increasingly obvious since I found running. First running at all was a challenge. Then run a 5k. 5k became 10k. 10k became a half marathon. Became faster half… Read More

In November I have had a couple of opportunities to photograph some races. It is always a fun experience to be out on a race course and capture the moments of runners putting in the effort. In early November I was out on the course for the Revenge of the Red Baron. One of the most challenging events the Southern Tier Running Club has to offer. Then at the end of the… Read More
