There are some big changes coming for me and my photography . . . I hope . . . and expect. I just this week returned from the Visionary Photography Workshops presented by Guy Tal and Michael Gordon at Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley National Park, CA. We were warned that it would be intense […]
Cell phone and internet access at Stovepipe Wells in Death Valley National Park is anything but reliable. So I have to make this fast. The Guy Tal and Michael Gordon Visionary Photography Workshop is great and the photo opportunities equally great. I may lose this connection, so I’ll just share a few photos to tell […]
This is the thought that has repeated itself over and over since I first stood behind my camera in Death Valley National Park yesterday morning. The color, textures, lines, and emotion in this landscape is almost overwhelming. Here are a few from our first two morning shoots (yesterday and this morning). We leave in a […]
In search of winter to photograph, I have traveled much of eastern New York State in recent days. My Silverado has plied the backroads of both the Adirondack’s High Peaks Region and the byways of the Catskills mostly without reward. The last couple days, before last night’s snow, I struggled to compose anything that spoke […]
Some days just don’t lend themselves to photography. Right? Well, that depends on what part of photography you’re interested in on any given day. I went searching for a couple snaps today, but the heavy overcast sky did more than dull the landscape, it pretty much soured my mood for patrolling the landscape as well. […]
How often do we set out on a photo shoot with specific expectations only to have those expectations dashed? Today was one of those days. I set out from the house at 6:30 this morning with snow falling hard enough to make me question the advisability of pulling out of the driveway. But, pull out […]
Who doesn’t like a day at the beach? To make it even more enticing, who doesn’t like a day at the beach in pounding surf? That’s what we enjoyed today, Feb. 1st, 2017. First thing this morning I pulled out of the driveway to pick up my friend and fellow photographer. I have to admit, our […]
I titled this a cold day in winter when actually it should have just read a cold morning in winter. It was 13 degrees when I pulled out of the driveway at six this morning. Yesterday we awoke to a nice clean coating of fresh snow and I had hoped we might double up on […]
From one perspective, it’s been somewhat of a busy week for my workshops. That’s one of those statements that reminds me of the old question that asks if your cup is half full or half empty. You see, this week I had several inquiries via e-mail asking when my next workshop was scheduled or what […]
This past weekend, six of us photographers, took to the High Peaks of the Adirondacks in search of winter photos. We had planned this long weekend of winter photography starting back in October, so we were all really geared for a winter shoot. Unfortunately, once again Mother Nature had a different idea. As the date […]
