The more time I spend at dog shows the more dog breeds I am introduced to and learn more about. The more dog breeds I fall in love with. But the one breed that has really has captured our hearts forever is the Bernese Mountain Dog. Bernese Mountain Dogs are in a lot of ways the optimal dog. They are large dogs but not overwhelmingly so. A Bernese Mountain Dog has energy… Read More
Our recent trip to Shenandoah National Park was filled with amazing beauty. But there was one thing in particular you can get here better than anyplace I have ever been. Scenic vistas. Do you love beautiful sunsets and sunrises? We were blessed with so many its hard to count during our trip. Much of this is luck. There is no way to know when you plan a trip if those scenic vistas… Read More
September is once of my favorite months of the year. One reason it is a favorite is that one of my favorite events of the year takes place at the end of the month. The last weekend of September features the Wine Country Circuit Dog Show.
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
In what appears to be on its way to becoming an annual tradition I have been at the Mighty Mosquito 99 event 3 out of the last 4 years. My first appearance was in 2021 to attempt the solo 100 mile event. And then I have been back twice to participate in the relay with a great group of friends. And I probably would have been there 4 years in a row… Read More
Hiking. I enjoy hiking. I often seek out trails to hike and explore them with my camera. This can vary from local river trails right in town, to local nature centers, nearby state parks and trails that traverse the entire state but passes nearby where I live. Some of my weaknesses as a holographic and human is that I don’t always have the patience required for a given situation and I don’t… Read More
Sometimes I don’t share things or do things because I don’t think they will be good enough. I think all of us can relate to a thought like that. In school we didn’t give an answer because we were afraid to be wrong. WE didn’t give our opinion on a topic because we were afraid that we would stand out from the crowd. WE just keep our heads down and try to… Read More
There are so many different ways to create photography. A wide array of subjects to photograph. Different niches to explore. And there are a bevy of styles to test out. Sometimes it can be overwhelming. Where to start?
Growing up we all have ideas about who we want to be as our lives progress. We think about jobs and careers that we might want to have. We think about things we would not want to do. And we also think about aspects of life we would choose to pursue or not. Get married? Have children? Own a home or rent? Live in a city or in the country? These are… Read More
I love it when I have an opportunity to photograph a trail race. One of my favorites is the Hills Creek Challenge. This is an event that is a timed race instead of a set distance. Runners can choose between 3, 6, and 12 hours. Durring whatever time they choose runners will try to complete as many laps as they can or want. Runners traverse a 3 mile loop around a beautiful… Read More
