Sometimes you see something and really has a long-term impact on you. Such is the case of a photographic print that I saw at an art show on the Village Green in Bar Harbor, Maine about two years ago now. At it’s core, it was a simple image – just several blades of grass reaching [...]
… in front of you and behind you.
This past Saturday morning we stopped along the Delaware River in Upper Black Eddy, PA with the intention of shooting the bridge that crosses the river into New Jersey. The boat access was just a tad downstream of the bridge so I pulled in, headed down the ramp [...]
Long time followers of my blog will know that one of the place I enjoy visiting and photographing is Peace Valley Park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. While I have shot sunrises and sunsets there on occasion, most of my visits have been in search of birds to photograph – all kinds of birds but mostly [...]
Yep I can still remember the day, many years ago now, that I officially went over the hill. For years before that fateful day whenever I talked to my mother about the things that Barb and I wanted to do, she would always, ALWAYS say “What’s the hurry? You’re young. You have your whole life [...]
In a recent post, Why No People?, I attempted to answer the question why there are so seldom any people in my images. What it all comes down to is that I like the personal feeling that my images represent to me. It is me at one with nature. I am alone in my world. [...]

Those of you who have followed my blog for the past year or longer know that Barb and I will often head to Jacobsburg State Park (PA) since it is close (a 20 minute drive) and a great place for Barb to bird and me to photograph (particularly wildflowers this time of year).
This post is [...]
When we went to bed Sunday night we had no definitive plans for Monday. I awoke around 0330 and as I lay in bed, what to do became crystal clear. I thought back to Thursday, the day I made the sunrise abstracts. I set out that morning to make some vertical sunrise images at Lake [...]
Sunday was the day we chose for a return trip to the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. I wanted to do some more scouting for the workshops I plan to offer there in 2011. (Keep an eye out this Fall for more details.) This was a trip that we had planned for each of [...]
Yesterday I was up at 0400 and out of the house by 0420 in search of a sunrise to shoot. When looking for as close to sure thing as I can find, I always seem to return to the marina at Lake Nockamixon (Nockamixon State Park, Bucks County, PA). And yesterday was no exception. I [...]
