Lately, I’ve spent a lot of time reprocessing many of my older photographs using Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) in preparation for my website’s stock gallery. Of all of the Raw processing software I have tried (others include RawShooter Essentials, Nikon Capture NX, BreezeBrowser, and Canon Digital Photo Professional), I like ACR the best for the [...]

My mom loves gardening, and we have the yard to prove it.  Our property is covered with an assortment of flowering and fruit bearing plants, from pansies and tulips to parsley and cucumbers.  One of her new additions this year was a beautiful moon flower plant, an annual that grows on a vine and has heart shaped leaves [...]

After a very very long wait, I have finally posted my new website to the internet.  It is far from complete, but the version I just uploaded has enough functionality to give you an idea of the new layout and design.

To order this print, purchase stock [...]

Today I photographed a new species of moth, the One-eyed Sphinx (also known as Cerisy’s Sphinx).  A few days ago, I found four of these cool looking moths near the front door of the staff house.  The moths are attracted to our porch light, which sometimes gets left on overnight when staff members are out late or [...]
