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. [...]

There’s a saying that goes something like “If God hands you lemons, make lemonade.” And of course there is the Jimmy Buffett/Parrothead corollary – “If God hands you limes, make Margaritas!” This story below is an example of making lemonade from lemons… or, if you prefer, Margaritas from limes. Late Saturday night we made the decision to head [...] 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.

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 [...] This is the follow-up to my previous post highlighting the sunrise images from the weekend. This first sunset image is one that I had been thinking about all week. I knew what I wanted to do or at least try. I wanted to make sunset (and sunrise) images using the Lensbaby with the Fisheye optic. I [...] This has been quite the crazy weekend. Nothing really went as planned and yet as I sit here on Sunday evening, everything appears to be ending well. And for that I am thankful. Virtually all my photography this weekend involved very short jaunts (it’s about a 20-25 minute drive) to a local lake (Lake Nockamixon in [...] |
