I love spring. It is a time of growth and renewal. It feels like anything is possible. And it is the beginning of the opportunities to start photographing flowers again. I never thought I would enjoy photographing flowers so much but it is something I have really grown to love. I look forward to it every year. Giles Van Hees Speedwell.

Love Your Pets And Love Photographing Them
I always advocate for photographing what you love. One of the things I love most and that bring me the most joy are the animals I share my life with. We have been fortunate to fill our home with so many dogs and even cats over the years. They have all been a prominent part of my photography. Brynn playing in the pond. I often take my dogs outside in the yard and play with them and photograph…

2024 Total Solar Eclipse in New York
I will take any excuse to get outside and hike around and take some photographs. In case you hadn’t heard recently we experienced a total solar eclipse here in the United States. I am not an astrophotographer and I don’t typically photograph he night skies, but it was interesting. As it turned out that path of totality crossed a large section of New York state. As I did some research it looked…

Love Sports. Have Camera.
I grew up loving sports. Mostly baseball, football, and basketball. Reading newspapers and magazines and seeing the amazing photographs that the sports photographers were able to capture was always something I loved. I never thought I would be a sports photographer. When I first started in photography sports was the farthest thing from my mind as a subject. But at some point I began to think…

Winter After Spring
Spring recently arrived in upstate New York. And I always look forward to the new growth of spring. But here in this region of New York one never knows what the weather may bring. The date on the calendar is almost irrelevant. Snowy Robert Treman State Park after spring. Continue reading Winter After Spring

Wildlife Photography Doesn't Have To Be Exotic
Photographing wildlife is one of the most amazing experiences I have had as a photographer. Have I ever photographed a Lion? No. Have I ever photographed a wolf? Not in the wild. Have I ever photographed a grizzly bear? No. Eastern Chipmunk at Tanglewood Nature Center. You may be asking yourself, how amazing of an experience can photographing wildlife be if I haven’t photographed any of these…

Photography: Use What You Have
The best way to practice photography regularly is to use what you have available. So in that vein, I am going to write a series of blog posts about how I do that. First and foremost in photography you obviously need a camera. Any camera. Any camera at all. You can create beautiful images with any camera. This is especially true in an age when the majority of photographed are viewed on computer…

A Good Old Adventure
I love a good adventure. And adventure can mean so many different things. Usually for me an adventure means getting outdoors in some way. A friend and I were planning to go for a nice long hike. Hopefully hitting some new to us trails. But, things didn’t go as expected. The morning of our planned adventure it was a snow storm. We couldn’t really find the trail parking spot indicated on the map…

A Fun Adventure: Hiking All Day With Friends
A big part of life is about who you meet along the way. There are a lot of things I would never have done if I did not meet the right people at the right time in my life. Being an introvert it sounds strange to my own ear to say that a big part of life is those you meet along the way. But it is not about the quantity of people you meet along the way, it is about the quality of people you meet…

Talking And Thinking About Running
I always enjoy getting out in nature. It is even better when I am accompanied by friends. I recently was able to get out into nature for a hike with a friend. Our conversation meandered all over the place and covered a great many topics. Believe it or not Running almost didn’t come up. But, it did come up. I know you are surprised right. I talked about running. Shocking news. But, I swear I did…

Make Life Your Craft
How do you approach your craft? You might read that sentence and think that this doesn’t apply to me. But just give me a second to elaborate. When I say Craft, I do not necessarily mean art or the act of creating something specifically. Craft can include art and creation, but it doesn’t necessarily have to. When I think about Craft, I think about anything that you do with intention. An act that…

What is your secret joy?
In life we all have things we are good at. We have things we love. And we also have things we share with others. Sometimes these different aspects of our lives overlap. We share our love of Star Wars with our friends that also love Star Wars. It is fun to talk about and it brings us joy. And seriously who doesn’t love Star Wars. We also pursue different activities and become some level of good…

The Cold And Photography
If you are reading this around the time it publishes and you live in the northern reaches of the northern hemisphere you have been in the deep dark cold months of winter. Winter can be a challenging time for many people. I think it can be a particularly challenging time for creative types. The dark and cold just makes us want to huddle up in a corner and try to simply survive until spring. This…
