How time flies! It was a little over a week ago that Barb and I spent our 40th anniversary wandering through the gardens at Longwood (Kennett Square, PA). This visit we were particularly drawn to the wonderful water lilies blooming in the pools outside the Conservatory. Interestingly, as we learned from the docent, they put [...]
This past weekend (and thank God we have another coming up) turned out to be an excellent one, photographically speaking. I’ve already shared two images from last Saturday (A Reflection Upon a Reflection and Just for Fun) here on my blog and have a couple more that I will share in this post… and I [...]
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 [...]
So far 2010 hasn’t been a great year for Monarch butterflies, at least around here. And I have heard a National Wildlife radio commercial saying that it has been a bad year for butterflies overall. But I have to say that I have been seeing a lot of Eastern Tiger Swallowtails around. The only problem [...]
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. [...]
The ebb and flow of our photographic lives always seems to have us moving from subject to subject, from technique to technique, from favorite lens to favorite lens as time moves incessantly forward. The past couple of years (prior to this one) I tended to do a lot more macro and flower photography. This year [...]
Why aren’t there any people in my images? That is a question that I was recently asked.
Truth be told, it’s not that I don’t ever have people in my images but it is extremely rare. And I will go to great lengths to work around people and keep my images people-free. Sometimes my work has [...]
