It’s easy to let our technology get the better of us sometimes. That can certainly be the case when our cameras drag us out into the cold winter landscape. Mine did that yesterday (That’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it). And, it’s never more true than when that landscape is blanketed with snow. I […]
A couple days ago, while it was snowing nicely, I took the opportunity to get out to Baltimore Woods Nature Center (The Woods) in Marcellus, NY. I relished the opportunity partly because I hadn’t really been out in nice snow for quite a while and partly because I knew that the Baltimore Woods Winter Photography […]
In case you haven’t noticed, I love winter. Especially winter photography. And it doesn’t make much difference to me where I am, as long as winter includes all the shapes and textures I’ve come to appreciate in Central and Northern New York. Okay, I have to admit that most of those shapes and textures seem […]
I’m really pleased to announce that Hunt’s Photo of Boston, has offered to sponsor my workshops and tours.

Anybody care to guess how many “tips” we can log before we welcome the new year in January 2016? If this past year is any measure of what to expect this new year, I wouldn’t estimate too high. But, hopefully I can do better and not lose half a year. So let’s get started with […]
As many of you know, I’m a fan, avid support and participant of NANPA (the North American Nature Photography Association). There are many great things happening with NANPA and one way members and non-members alike can be in the know and keep up is through the NANPA Blog. We’re looking forward to the bi-annual NANPA […]
How pleasantly surprised could I be? Not much more than I was when a friend of mine called to let me know that another friend, a great lady named Nancy Kieffer, who has participated in my photo workshops, was featured in a magazine called 55 PLUS. Of course I had to run right out and get […]
