I’m back in Virginia now after spending four beautiful snowy days in upstate New York for the holidays.  We didn’t take any photos over our short vacation, as Chris and I both suffered from a stomach bug that had us sharing the bathroom nearly all day on Christmas.  Regardless, we had a great time and [...]

Just taking a moment to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!  I hope your day is filled with plenty of smiles, good memories, yummy food, and awesome presents.  Enjoy the holiday!

Yayyy!!!  It’s snowing!
I’m at home in New Jersey with plans to head back down to Virginia sometime this weekend.  However, that might be difficult… because of all the snow!  The weather stations have called for 3-6 inches of snow to hit the area today, with an additional inch or so tonight.  Of course, its difficult [...]

Last night I uploaded 15 new photos to my website, including a bunch from Cambridge last weekend.  This photo, my favorite action shot of the day, is one of them.  In this picture, a male Canvasback in full breeding plumage is tucking his wings back into his body just after performing a wingflap.  As much [...]

The Lesser Scaup is one of three new species of ducks I photographed last weekend on the Choptank River.  Like the Canvasback and Redhead, the Lesser Scaup is also a diving duck and usually feeds on mollusks and small crustaceans that live on the bottom of lakes and rivers.  It is a handsome duck, and the [...]

Good news!  After coming back home, uninstalling Adobe Design Premium CS3, running the Adobe Clean Script, and reinstalling CS3, everything works!  That means I can finally process my photographs from Saturday’s trip to Cambridge and share them with you.
I decided to start by working on my Canvasbacks.  I have the most shots of them, since [...]

For my birthday yesterday, Chris and I met up with another local nature photographer, Neil Losin, and headed to Cambridge, Maryland to photograph ducks on the Choptank River.  We had a great day, with good light, little wind, and comfortable temperatures (or at least I was quite comfortable in my new Montbell 800 fill Alpine [...]

Not much new here to report on.  I haven’t done any shooting because the weather just hasn’t been cooperating - Virginia winters are pretty lame as far as I can tell.  It’s been rainy, a bit windy at times, and the temperatures seem to be unusually warm.  It sure doesn’t feel like Christmas is right around [...]

It’s finally December, so I figure it’s a fair time to mention Christmas and the upcoming holidays.  I just love this time of year!  No matter what religion you are, the holidays are a perfect excuse to eat delicious food, gather with old friends and family, and share happiness and good spirit.  And, they’re also [...]

I’ve recently run into a problem with my Adobe Design Premium CS3 products.  I use Photoshop (along with Adobe Camera Raw) and Dreamweaver exclusively for working on my photographs and website, and now none of them work.  Here’s what happened.
While working on my website in Dreamweaver CS3 two days ago, I think Adobe Updater must have been running in [...]

Finally my new website is here!  Early this spring I decided to do a major overhaul of my website and since then I’ve been working adamantly on it whenever I get the chance.  One of my major goals for the new site was to have a comprehensive stock gallery that would allow me to show off a [...]
