Recently I had a day off from work. And I decided I was going to make the most of it by going to photograph waterfalls at one of my favorite state parks. I haven’t gone out to much landscape photography in a while so I was excited for the opportunity. Unfortunately for my wife, but fortunately for me as it turns out, my wife was not off from work that day. She… Read More

The best day of birdwatching locally that I have ever had, Maybe the best day of birdwatching overall. I am not one who usually subscribes to the belief that everything happens for a reason. But, I do think if things happen for a reason they lie more in the mundane everyday aspects of life than they do int the big amazing miraculous ways. And I was able to enjoy this amazing day… Read More

“The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the nation as a whole.

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

Salamanders are so cool and very elusive. I wish I spent as much time looking for them and successfully finding them now as I did as a child. Sometimes I get lucky and just find a salamander right where I can train my lens on it. It always seems if I am intentionally seeking out a salamander to photograph I can never find one. I have seen salamanders on the edges of… 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 photograph a wide variety of subjects. I generally photograph what I love. And I love wildlife. I don’t photograph wildlife as much as I would like even though wildlife photography was my inspiration for starting this photography journey. I think a large part of this is because wildlife photography has a large component of luck. We rely on the animals showing up, and there is no guarantee that will actually happen…. Read More

I love to get out into nature. Often when I plan to go outside there is a specific reason. I want to photograph a waterfall. Or I want to hike some trails. And some places are great for specific experiences. But what really can make a place special is if it is a haven of a wide variety of natural experiences. This is what I love about Tanglewood Nature Center.

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.
