Usually when I write about endurance sports or adventures it is an event I have taken part in myself. Or it is a race I have photographed. Something that I have had hands on involvement in. But this story is a bit different. At the 2026 Hills Creek Endurance Challenge my role was the complete opposite of what it normally is. I started my foray into running over a decade ago. If… Read More
I photograph a wide variety of subjects. I do a lot of different types of photography. However, there are still quite a few things that I don’t do. My photography generally centers around things that I am passionate about it. So if if it doesn’t move me or inspire me, or I don’t find it interesting then I tend not to photograph it. This shapes and informs the type off work I… Read More
I love to photograph water. Particularly bodies of water in landscapes. More specifically water that moves through a landscape. It doesn’t have to be a huge flowing river, or a massive waterfall. Even a small trickle over some rocks can draw my attention. And the more opportunities for different photos there are the better. This is why creeks and streams are so amazing. They are abundant. And the landscapes around them can… Read More
I love trail running. It is one of my favorite activities. Getting out in nature. Moving on my feet. It is a great feeling. So, I really love it when an organization puts on a great trail running event. I am not usually the kind of person who likes to run the same events over and over. I usually prefer to experience new things. Take on new challenges. But the Tyoga Running… Read More
I often talk about how fortunate I am to live where I do. And it is so true. One of the reasons that I love where I live is because it sets me up to be able to visit so many beautiful places. Most people probably live relatively close to one or two beautiful natural lands. I on the other hand am lucky enough to live in a location that sets me… Read More
I really did not have this on my BINGO card a year ago. As little as months ago I was just focused on trying to get healthy, stay healthy, and hopefully finish my first ultramarathon in over two years. I just wanted to have a good solid year of running culminating in one big event to cap it off. As I started to feel better and believe maybe I could actually finish… Read More
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
There are not a lot of running events that I return to year after year. But this past weekend was one of them. It was Mt. Tom Challenge weekend. The Mt. Tom Challenge is hosted by the Tyoga Running Club. The Mt. Tom Challenge is a free event. So, if you read this and think it might be fun to give it a shot, please give it a try. It literally costs… Read More
This year has been a particular kind of challenging for me. I like to do big adventures. I like to push my physical limits. Run all the miles. Climb all the mountains. And now even biking. But the last two years and especially this year has seen me battling small nagging injuries that have limited my ability to participate in these types of adventures. This fun adventure to tackle some trails has… Read More
The waterfall trail at Rickets Glen State Park is one of the most beautiful places I have been to. It is a place I constantly think of returning to but for some reason or another never seem to make it there. I have maybe been there a handful of times at most. But this year as part of my commitment to do more fall photography than I have in past years it… Read More
