Graffiti Underground

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 [...]

Fun with the Fisheye

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 [...]

Water Lilies of Longwood Gardens

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 [...]

Just Another Tequila Sunrise

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 [...]

Just for Fun

In amongst all the sunrises, sunsets, flowers and such, it is fun to capture an occasional image that just tickles your funny bone. 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 [...]

A Reflection Upon a Reflection

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 [...]

ALWAYS Look Both Ways

… 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 [...]

Three Faces of Peace Valley

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 [...]

Over the Hill

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 [...]

Eastern Tiger Swallowtails on Parade

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 [...]
