After spending a couple of early morning hours photographing the vibrant colors of the Graffiti Underground, our workshop groups headed over to Eastern State Penitentiary where we would spend the rest of the day. The penitentiary itself has been closed since 1971 and in many areas there are now nearly 40 years worth of dust, [...]

In my last blog post, I mentioned that I was heading out for a weekend HDR photography workshop with Tony Sweet. I purposely selected this workshop for two main reasons. First, I greatly admire Tony and his body of work. And second while I do quite a bit of HDR photography, the subject matter revolving [...] I thought I would post a few of the images from last weekend before heading out on this weekend’s big adventure. In the upcoming year, my plans are to offer workshops and tours in various locations throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic areas… places like Delaware Water Gap (PA), Sandy Hook (NJ) and Acadia National Park [...] 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.

This is one such image. I’ve entitled it “B.C. (Before Cellular): The Phone That Time and Verizon Forgot”. I was walking along Lake Towhee (Bucks County, PA), where I made the image (“A [...] … in front of you and behind you.

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 [...] 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 [...] 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).
