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

I often like to spend time photogrpahing things that might be considered ordanary. Parts of life that seem mundane. Something that is just normal. Take that thing and shine a light on it. Stop and look more closely. See it for what it is. Don’t just ignore it. This is what I think of when I think of the often Maligned Whited Tailed Deer.

I love to get out in nature. Hiking or running. Often with a camera. One thing I always enjoy is noticing what flowers are in bloom during different times of the year. Wildflowers are one of my favorite types of plants because they live in harmony with the environment. They seem to spend most of their time seemingly dormant or underground. They are often just a patch of green mixed in amongst… Read More

We were expecting Bears and what we got was Deer. All of the research and information we read about Shenandoah National Park talked about Bears. It seemed like you would go for a casual stroll and just see a handful of bears right along the side of the road. Talk of bear boxes and proper storage of food. Reading about the highest concentrations of black bears. Constant mentions of bears on every… Read More

Photographing wildlife is one of the most amazing experiences I have had as a photographer. Have I ever photographed a Lion? No. Have I ever photographed a wolf? Not in the wild. Have I ever photographed a grizzly bear? No. You may be asking yourself, how amazing of an experience can photographing wildlife be if I haven’t photographed any of these oft depicted big game animals? Photographing local wildlife is amazing, because… Read More

One of my favorite kinds of birds to watch and photograph are ducks. Ducks while all being similar come in such a wide array of shapes sizes and colors. They have different behaviors and live in different habitats. There are so many things to enjoy about ducks. I like them because they are a size that is relatively easy to spot with the naked eye. So you can find them watch them… Read More

I love birds. I have a special fondness for the birds we see most often. For me that is obviously Song Birds. As a lapsed biology major who is much more artist than scientist these days I am not strictly speaking in scientific terms of species, family, genus, order, etc. types of classifications when I speak of Song Birds. This is more of I know it when I see it kind of… Read More

When I first began to get interested in photography I was most interested in photographing wildlife. The first wildlife subjects that captivated me were birds of prey. This is in part because birds of prey are some of the most accessible wildlife to photograph where I live. And they were also captivating because of growing up loving nature and wildlife as a kid these were the types of birds I was fascinated… Read More

We as people often have many things we want to do or accomplish in our lives. And just as often we have many things we simply never get around to doing. There are an infinite number of reasons and excuses why we may not get something done that we have always wanted to do. Often the most obvious reason we don’t get something done is that we haven’t prioritized it. As a… Read More

I always love finding new flowers to photograph. Something I have never seen before always piques my interest. Several years ago I saw these tiny little purple flowers growing along the edge of the woods where we live. I started photographing them and looking for them every year. And the flowers returned every year. Always blooming in the same little area of the woods. Never seeming to spread. I assumed these flowers… Read More
