In my last post, I told you about a very memorable morning that I spent photographing nature from my kayak on an Adirondack mountain lake last summer.  I have quite a few photographs from that one morning that I love, and this image called “Brushstrokes on a Blank Canvas” is one of them.

While photographing the fog from [...]

When you go and photograph nature subjects, it usually pays to be ready for anything.  Such was the case when kayaking on a woodland lake one morning last summer.  Chris and I planned a weekend long camping trip in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, primarily to photograph loons that live on the mountain lakes.  [...]

Every once in a while, often when I can’t find anything else to photograph, I turn to tree bark as a subject.  The bark of trees usually has unique patterns that can make for interesting photos, and since trees don’t move and their trunks don’t change, they can be photographed just about whenever you please.  This makes [...]

Here’s a picture I just had to show you because it’s one of my all time favorites. “Twisted” is a photograph I took last January while visiting the Hawaiian island of Oahu with Chris and his mom. We had been visiting the Waimea Valley Audubon Center on the north side of the island when I [...]

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve gone shooting, so most of my time spent on photography has been working on my website and going through old folders and processing files.  I found this shot from my trip to Chincoteague last May, of four glossy ibis flying over the refuge.  By tweaking the curves in [...]

Chris came up this weekend and possibly brought up the stomach virus that put him out of commission a couple of weeks ago in Virginia.  Either way, I had a lovely time staying up sick the majority of last night and needless to say, didn’t get to do any shooting this weekend (that seems like [...]

While in upstate New York this winter, one of my goals was to get some close-up, abstract photographs of ice.  However, this proved to be a lot more challenging than I had originally assumed, as finding ice that was clean, visually pleasing, and level was not as easy as I imagined.  I searched puddles and [...]

The weather has been pretty mild in New Jersey lately - in the 40s and 50s during what is usually the coldest month in the state. I’m not foolish enough to think that the warm temperatures will stick around very long, but they have had me wistfully thinking of spring, when longer days, warmer [...]

My friend Eric’s house seems to have no shortage of wildlife, even in the winter when many species hibernate or migrate southward. I spent many days this past December and January photographing the variety of species that visit his property each winter, including bird species such as Black-capped Chickadee, White-breasted Nuthatch, Hairy Woodpecker, Evening [...]

Even if you live in a city, you don’t often have to go very far to find places where good subjects can be discovered and photographed. While I am fortunate enough to not live in metropolitan area, I do live in the most densely populated state in the US, so areas of open wild space, [...]
