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
I really like working with colors and shapes. Contrast of dark and light. Details versus softness. I think that is what I find when I see a photo of an inanimate object that I really like. There is a quality of contrast about it. There is an interplay of two things that don’t quite go together.
Running has brought me a lot of things over the years. One of the most important things running has brought into my life is friendship and community. After several years of battling a variety of different nagging injuries that have kept me from being as much of a part of the running community as I would want to be I was feeling a little lost in my pursuit of running. I have… Read More
My wife and I really enjoy camping. It is one of our favorite was to take a break from the every day. We try to find a campground that looks nice and scenic. Often staying at state parks. And we try to pick a campsite within the campground that seems at least a little more removed from the other campsites so we can have more privacy and more nature. This year we… Read More
I am not really a holiday person. I don’t like special days that make everything more crowded and more complicated than they would be on an average day.

So, when their weather was cold enough long enough I picked a day and I… Read More
There are a lot of places I like to visit over and over again. They are often nearbby state parks. The area where I live in the Southern Finger LAkes Region of New York is blessed with many beautiful parks.
I love photographing trees because of all the variety of texture. Winter adds an extra element of texture. I have a love hate relationship with winter. I really don’t mind cold weather as long as it isn’t extreme bitter cold. Putting on some warm clothes and heading outside for an adventure or just some fresh air is a nice experience for me. Especially if I have something to point my camera at.
Just a short drive could be the key to unlocking photography. I live in an area full of overwhelming natural beauty. I often don’t have to go far to find photography subjects that I love. However, I love to photograph a great many things. And as they say variety is the spice of life. So, I try to mix it up in my photography. Letchworth State Park has a landscape like no… Read More
The author Steven Pressfield talks about Resistance. The force that keeps us from pursue it our creative passions. Ever since being introduced to his ideas it has become more and more obvious to me. The resistance is holding me back. I have struggled this year a lot with my writing here on this blog. And I have struggled pushing through the Resistance to work on other creative projects. Even saying yes to… Read More
