When I set out to take photos for a day I really like it if I can find a place where I can take a variety of different types of photographs all in one location. I love waterfalls and if I go to a place with waterfalls that is all I will probably photograph. So I need to go somewhere a little bit different. Someplace with a lot of space to move… Read More
I am fortunate to live in an area rich in natural beauty. So many great public lands available to access and enjoy all year long. Some of my favorite beautiful state parks are under an hours drive away. How much more could you ask for. Well, you could ask for a state park that takes those beautiful close to home state parks and scales them up to the next level. And that… Read More
Who doesn’t love a beautiful sunset? Thinking about sunsets makes me think how incredible of a natural phenomenon it actually is. Sunset happens every day. Every single day. It is kind of simple and yet amazing. There is a possibility that you will get to witness a beautiful sunset 365 days a year. And on top of that you don’t even necessarily have to go anywhere. You can sit at home and… Read More
If there is any time of year that is my favorite it is probably when we have the changing colors of fall. That burst of color livens up the environment like no other. It enhances every aspect of being outdoors and I love it for my creativity and photography. The biggest challenge is that that time of year most closely associated with the fall season does not last the entire season. It… 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 am fortunate to live in an area where I can hop in my car and drive to any number of state parks in around an hour to an hour and a half. Many of those state parks are in New York. And while I don’t have a state park that is right in my own back yard I have so many within a decent drive that it is a huge reason… Read More
I love photographing Watkins Glen State PArk in the fall. My favorite time is when the leaves have been changing and are starting to fall. Unfortunately this time of year seems to be increasingly fleeting. The leaves turn and then fall so quickly. Leaving behind bare trees and piles of dead leaves. I love the transition period. I like to capture images with both leaves on the trees and leaves freshly fallen… Read More
I love being out in the woods. I love trees. And I especially love trees with a unique look or texture to them. Think peeling flaking bark. Jagged lines and textures. Different shapes and surfaces. Tree trunks with color. Colors often generated by living in communion with other living organisms. Moss, lichen, vines. Most of all I like shape and texture. And the more unique and interesting it is the more I… Read More
I am fascinated by leaves. They appear almost as if from nowhere. If you aren’t paying clos enough attention, one minute trees are bare and the next second they are full of lush green leaves. The most fascinating times to see leaves are when they are first beginning to grow and emerge in the spring and when they are changing colors and falling in the Autumn. It is during these two times… Read More
Letchworth State Park is a beautiful place to visit. Its beauty is featured in so many different ways. Waterfalls, Rivers, Gorges, Overlooks, Trees, Forest, Trails. And the scenery is different depending on when you visit and the seasons. Not to mention this park is quite large. The shear size of the park makes it a challenge to see just the highlights on a day trip. The park deserves a multi day adventure…. Read More
