Spooky Spider Silhouette
Happy Halloween (one day late)! Since I haven’t done any shooting in the past couple weeks, I thought this would be an appropriate older image to post to my blog. This shot was taken last year when I discovered that a spider had taken up residence outside my back door. The spider emerged each evening, [...]

Featured Photograph: Dawn of the Hunt
Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge is one of my favorite places in the Mid-Atlantic to photograph wildlife so I try to make at least one or two trips there each year. In May 2007, Chris and I spent an entire week on the island and we were well rewarded for our time there. One afternoon, we [...]
Featured Photograph: Abstract Rock Blur
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 [...]
Featured Photograph: Slow Motion Daydream
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 [...]
Featured Photograph: Ithaca Cascades, New York
Last summer, Chris and I spent about three weeks in central New York state, making daily photo trips. One subject we focused on a lot was waterfalls, and we made several trips to the Finger Lakes region of New York to photograph the many gorges and waterfalls in the area. One of our trips was [...]
Featured Photograph: Angel Wings – Forster’s Tern in Flight
Every once in a while, you just get lucky. Nature photography is no exception, although the nature photographer who just gets lucky won’t have many images on file and none of them will be very good. With nature photography, getting a good shot is more often than not the result of days or weeks or [...]

Featured Photograph: Brushstrokes on a Blank Canvas
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 [...]
Featured Photograph: Misty Sunrise, Adirondack Park, New York
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. [...]

Featured Photograph: Twisted
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 [...]
Pond Plants Surface Details
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, [...]

Chincoteague Pony Stallion
Due to my busy schedule while student teaching this semester, I haven’t been able to go out shooting in a while. Fortunately, I have plenty of older photographs to share, such as this one of a wild pony stallion.
One of my favorite locations to photograph is Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in Virginia. I [...]
First Snow
Today is my 22nd birthday! It’s snowing outside right now, which is good, because I love snow and ever since I was little I have always felt like it should snow on my birthday. I don’t have many photographs of snow, because last winter was particularly warm so there wasn’t much of it [...]

Common Loon in Soft Light
Every once in a while I go through old folders of old images, either to edit out junk shots because I’m rarely very thorough with editing the first time around or just to see what pictures I have taken. Often, I end up finding a photograph that I missed or just never processed before because [...]
