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).

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 [...]
This series, well it’s only two images, is from an evening walk along the Delaware Canal towpath (Delaware Canal State Park, PA) which, for much of its length, runs along a narrow spit of land between the canal and the Delaware River. I have often joked that it is a state park that is nearly [...]
I’m a morning person. Always have been and at this point in my life always will be. So it is no surprise that I have a strong preference for early starts and sunrises. If I want to see a sunrise, walk into a sunrise, or photograph a sunrise, I have many places where I can [...]

That was the feeling that overtook me as Barb and I were walking down this trail in Jacobsburg State Park [...]
This is another 10-image multiple exposure image that I made recently.
I have been giving multiple exposures, pans, digital sandwiches, etc. a lot of thought lately, particularly after reading about some different techniques in a book entitled Photo Impressionism and the Subjective Image by Freeman Patterson and Andre Gallant. I would highly recommend the book if [...]
