I’m always looking for new and creative ways to show of the beauty of nature.  Because of this much of my nature photograph has taken on a fine art approach, in which my subjects are portrayed in very simplistic and artistic ways.
Last summer, while visiting New York’s Chimney Bluffs State Park bordering Lake Ontario, I [...]

Chris and I have been trying to set up another Adirondack camping trip for this summer, but our busy schedules and his lack of reliable transportation (his car is on the fritz and my car is too small and cheap to carry two kayaks) have kept us from setting up a date and doing more [...]

This photograph has been one of my favorites since I discovered it in a folder from Nickerson Beach, Long Island some time ago.  It was early morning, near sunrise, when this photo was taken, and the low light levels meant that freezing the action of the flying Black Skimmers I had gone to photograph was [...]

When Chris and I planned a car camping trip to the northern part of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia last summer for landscapes, we planned for photographs of both mountain scenics and waterfalls.  We had hoped to photograph mountain vistas at sunset and sunrise, but we didn’t get the dramatic weather we had been hoping for.  Fortunately, with a little [...]

Last summer, Chris and I spent several days car camping along the northern portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia with the purpose of photographing landscapes.  This photo is one taken during our trip, and it perfectly illustrates how the Blue Ridge Mountains got their name.  While simple in design, I like the repeating [...]

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted.  It’s been over a month since I’ve taken a photo, but I must get back into it (for my own well being).  Anyway, here is a photograph from about a year ago, when Chris and I stayed at a friend’s beach house in Delaware.  We [...]
