I’ve just had the pleasure of spending two half-days and a night at the Great Camp Sagamore, near Raquette Lake in the Adirondacks. Wow! I was limited by my schedules so I had to cram as much photography into the few hours I had as I could. There was certainly no shortage of subject matter. […]
Today was one of those days we sometimes neglect to recognize the value in. It was pretty much business of usual except for a small package that arrived via UPS this afternoon. I was surprised by the package arriving today since I had only spoken to the gentleman who sent it, just yesterday afternoon. I’m […]
This past week I hosted my Adirondack Streams and Waterfalls Workshop/tour, with Long Lake, NY as home base. The weather wasn’t the greatest but the participants in the tour certainly were. I think there’s a special energy that pervades a group of photographers, especially when they are all as capable as those in this group. […]
You can call them that, too. Now that we’ve got that cleared-up . . . I’m hoping that “short shoots” is a brilliant idea. But, since I know the source, that could be a dubious proposition. A short shoot may be a day-long event or even a weekend since some people only have weekends or a few days that […]
Well, once again I showed my lack of Facebook expertise. Yesterday, I began to write a Facebook post by writing about what I call getting ready for the upcoming Adirondack Streams and Waterfalls Tour/workshop. It was an opportunity to explore some of the excitement that was welling-up along with the preparation for this four night, five day tour/workshop. […]
Good Friday . . . Today Christians the world over commemorate the crucifixion and death of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. In the Catholic Church, and I’m sure non-Catholic as well, it’s a somber commemoration. No mass today. An opportunity to venerate the cross and reflect on the meaning of His sacrifice. The service […]
I went for a late afternoon walk today and found myself somewhat enthralled with what’s left of our snow. What’s left at this point is still a foot and a half deep in many places (not counting where the snow plows have piled it up). But, besides the depth it pretty hard to really call […]
Two or three times now, I’ve thought I was enjoying my last photo shoot of the 2014-15 winter season. My trip Tuesday and Wednesday Blue Mountain Lake and Buttermilk Falls, one of my favorite waterfalls, had me expecting to be challenged by either mud or, even worse, by dirty snow. I wasn’t expecting to get the […]
I’m reposting this blog post, simply to include images as a gallery rather than scattered individually at the end of the post. I hope it make them easier to view. Simply click on any image for a slide show you can click through. Looking back on last night, the phrase “so much, so little time,” […]
How often have we heard someone say, “The third time’s the charm.” Well, tonight may help illustrate that, but I really don’t know yet. At 11 pm as I sit at my computer posting my third blog based on shoots on the wintery shore of Lake Ontario, I’m feeling like that might well be the case, […]
