How do you know if a photography workshop you are considering is right for you? Good question, huh? I’ve asked it myself and I’ve heard it asked many times, so I thought I’d try to answer it in case it’s a question that’s on anyone’s mind. Here are some considerations, in no particular order, that […]
I admit it. I’m chomping at the bit for something other than meteorological spring. I’m ready for warmer days that feature some spring green with lots of fresh buds on the trees and tiny blooming flowers. Every morning I head out for my morning exercise. Sometimes I actually carry my DSLR but most days so […]
Well, today’s weather featured warmer temperatures than normal in the morning, followed by cooler than normal in the afternoon, more than our fair share of rain and “too much snow”. So, excuse me if I’m having a difficult time “spring”-ing into the season. Okay, I admit it, I always find it difficult to get into […]
A month from this coming Saturday should be a great day for photography . . . especially if you enjoy photographing streams and waterfalls. I know a lot can change in a month. Still, as spring warms, snow melts and the rains fall . . . it’s looking good. A month from Saturday is May […]
I‘m about to hit the road again. This time it’s to reconnoiter Shenandoah National Park in anticipation of my workshop in the park June 6-10. Of course this is my umpteenth trip to one of the best national parks in the east. But it gives me an excuse to visit the park and another opportunity […]
On this Holy Saturday of Easter weekend, as I enjoyed my morning walk I was thinking, appropriately enough, about all the blessings of the events of this Holy Week, both historically and in my life today. As I contemplated the events of this week and the Passion and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, the […]
Technically it was still winter on March 17th. And, outside it certainly felt like winter as we parked our cars and made our way into the Carol Watson Greenhouses in Lafayette, NY. The day had been scheduled with a half-dozen photographers mostly from Central New York . . . one was from Akron, OH. A few […]
Is one season better than another for photography? Spring gets my vote right now! Of course, that will change as we get closer to summer, then closer to autumn. But spring is arriving just in time. We have all waited (patiently or not) for the pages of the calendar to disclose fresh opportunities for our […]
We’ve had an evening and a morning shoot to open our stint at Death Valley National Park. It was still windy and cold, however, it’s warmed up this afternoon. It’s about 1 pm as I write this. Last night, after our drive from Joshua Tree, through the Mojave (see the featured photo above) we decided […]
Some 3,300 miles of driving took us past many photo opportunities without stopping to take even a single click. I’ve pledged to myself that I will return with more time. The important thing is we (my friend Mike Berg from Alexandria, VA and I) made it to California in good time and have an evening […]
