The lesson I learned today is one we’ve heard before. Go back. Go back to places you’ve visited before and photographed before. So, I guess you’d say my lesson today was one relearned. I was in a bind having not realized my photo for the ninth day of our Hundred Day Photo Challenge and I’m […]
I took a total of three images early this morning as a day of in and out snow showers got underway. I was in a hurry (why does that sound so typical?) to get down to St. Joe’s Hospital so I decided to head straight to Strong Road near Tully, NY because it would give […]
Wow! What a day! Not exactly a typical photography day, for certain. But a day that challenged the very thought of photography. As important as photography is to me it became very clear yesterday when my wife, carrying groceries into the house took a header on the concrete steps. Thanks to the good people at […]
You know, sometimes I think it’s fair to compare nature photography to playing the one-armed bandit at the casino. One day you may begin to think you’ve had enough and the next . . . you can’t get enough. Today was one of the latter. It was one of those mornings I’m always talking about […]
It has quickly become obvious that the challenge to create a new expressive photography every day for 100 days is really a challenge. Here it is only day number 5 and I was finding it difficult to find time to get outdoors with my camera. Now, getting outdoors isn’t a requirement of this challenge, but […]
My wife says “He’s never happier than when he’s in a fog.” I’m not a big drinker so I believe she’s talking about how much I typically enjoy photographing foggy scenes. With that understanding, you will understand why I was feeling pretty good as I pulled out of the driveway at about 6:30 am. It […]
I felt like I had to get my photo in today before the weatherman made life miserable, so I was out early with no specific destination in mind. It seems, though, that my trusty Silverado knows where to go so I ended up at Labrador Hollow. It was almost a repeat of the conditions I […]
Okay, I’m hoping the hunt doesn’t get more difficult. Today was one of those days where everything you do seems to get in the way with what you want to be doing. I left the house about 6:30 am and soon became aware of a dramatically colorful eastern sky. But, first, I thought, it will […]
Over the last couple of days, I’ve extended an invitation to our local community of photographers to join me in a 100-day challenge of creating one meaningful, expressive photo each day. Today is New Year’s Day, 2020. What better day to set off on a challenge. The photos in this post are my favorites from […]
What better time is there to present ourselves with a challenge. After all, the New Year’s holiday period is a traditional time when we make resolutions. Resolutions to do things that make us better at something: better Moms and Dads, better employers or employees, healthier people, more knowledgeable about something . . . oops, there […]
