As my friends and family know, I recently had the opportunity to visit Death Valley National Park in California to attend two photography workshops presented by Guy Tal and Michael Gordon. There were nine of us in each workshop and we were told in advance that the experience would be intense. If anything that proved […]
If I were a betting man, and I’m not, I’d bet the just past mid-March snow storm will be the last significant blast of winter for the 2016/2017 season. While the temptation was there to join the chorus of moaning and groaning, instead I decided to take advantage of the storm. After all, we really […]

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 […]
