Wandering the Northeast with the Boys Camping Society
After three and a half weeks wandering the northeast wilderness with the Camp Dudley Boys Camping Society, it seems strange to be blogging. In the past month, I’ve probably showered fewer times than I can count on one hand, been out of cell phone reception more than I’ve been in it, and gone for days [...]

Yesterday was the opening day for the exhibit of the 2010 International Conservation Photography Award winners display at the Burke Museum in Seattle, Washington. My image ”Snowy at Sunset” won was named Honorable Mention for the Art Wolfe Award and is on display June 19-September 6 at the museum this year. Check out the exhibit here: [...]
Goodbye New Jersey, Hello New York
My great apologies for the lack of updates lately! Life has been busy (as usual). I’ve been doing quite a bit of running around lately, trying to catch up with friends and running a lot of errands. In just three days I’ll be moving to upstate New York for the summer, where I’ll be working [...]

When Man and Nature Collide
When man and nature collide, the result isn’t always pretty. I got to witness the negative impact of humankind on wildlife first hand this past weekend, while herping down on the Delmarva peninsula with several other members of the North American Field Herping Association. At one location we visited, we found a black rat snake [...]
New Toys!
Just last week I finally got my hands on my own 7D, and today I tested it out for the first time. Sweet camera! I didn’t have much luck with subjects this morning, so I ended up resorting to playing with my new LensBaby Composer and Macro Kit on it this evening. My mom loves [...]
Spring Craziness
This has been a beautiful spring, and I’ve hardly taken a photo!
Well, part of the problem is that nearly every day has been warm and sunny. Not a cloud in the sky. Which makes for nice hanging outside and getting a tan, but actually not the best for photography. It’s been so nice out that [...]
New Website Look!
I’ve just updated my website with a brand new look, and also changed my blog theme to go along with the lighter, brighter feel of the new Kari Post Photography site! Several stock galleries are still under construction, so please forgive the inactive links on the stock page. The new look is designed to be [...]
Yay Spring!!!
Spring is officially here! Although the appearance of snow drops and crocuses, chirping and singing of the robins and other birds, and melting snow and warmer temperatures have hinted at spring for nearly two weeks now, the calendar start of spring is today, and that makes me so happy!!! Spring is my FAVORITE season. I [...]
Bike Across America 2009
Today I am heading to the Martin Stankiewicz Gallery in Chappequa, New York to meet photographers Martin Stankiewicz and Stetson Hundgen and view their exhibit on their travels through Nepal. Stetson will be embarking on his own cross country bike trip this spring, and after speaking with both Martin and Stetson on the phone yesterday [...]

Spring is nearly here! It is my favorite season, so I’ve decided to celebrate by having a small sale on prints and used gear.
Between now and March 20th (the first day of spring), prints are 10% off. Also, I’m offering my 1D Mark II N kit for sale (see earlier blog post) for [...]
A Little Rant About Photo Competitions
Every year I, like thousands of other hopeful nature photographers, enter a few big name photography competitions in hopes of earning myself a little much needed recognition. In years past, I’ve entered competitions sponsored by Nature’s Best Photography Magazine, the National Wildlife Federation, and the BBC, and I have been lucky enough to have a [...]

A Walk in the Woods
The other day, I was having a great discussion with Jasper Doest, a fantastic nature photographer based in The Netherlands, and the topic of experiencing nature came up. I asked him about his upcoming Svalbard workshop, as I’ve been having an inkling to visit Norway lately, and he told me that he has only three [...]
Snow Lined Winter Creek, Harriman State Park, New York
When I woke up yesterday morning, I was quite excited to find that it was snowing. The view outside my window was drenched in a light coat of white and bit fat snowflakes were fluttering down from the sky. Sweet! After doing a few morning chores, including checking the weather forecast, I headed out to [...]
Canon 1D Mark II N for Sale
I’ve decided to sell my trusted Canon 1D Mark II N digital SLR. It is a USA model, with the usual wear marks but no big accidents, digs, or dents or be concerned with. It has a brand new shutter with less than 4000 actuations on it and includes all of the original packaged items, [...]
Selecting the Right Equipment
If you’ve ever opened up a B&H catalog, visited their superstore in New York City, or walked around the exhibition hall at a big photo expo, you are probably well aware that the sky’s the limit when it comes to photography gear. From cameras and lenses to tripods and backpacks to software and memory and [...]

Long-tailed Duck Landing
I took a quick trip to Barnegat yesterday in hopes of photographing a couple of much needed species, one of which was the Long-tailed Duck. This year, they are pretty common at Barnegat, and when I arrived around 11AM the light was good enough to allow for some flight shots. Barnegat is one of those [...]
First Image of 2010!
So here it is, my first photograph of the new year. I snapped this photo of a Dark-eyed Junco in my backyard, where it was feeding on some black oil sunflower seeds my mom put out. It’s nothing special, but I really like juncos and have been trying to get a decent shot of one [...]
