Let’s see what we think works. I wasn’t able to even look for my photo today until the sun had already set. As I picked up my gear and went for the door I was debating whether to load the gear into the Malibu or the Silverado. Since it was snowing heavy, wet flakes I […]
When I climb out of bed in the morning typically one of the first things I do is take a look out my bedroom window to see what the morning might be offering, photographically. This morning, I felt like I might have hit the jackpot. What I was seeing was a heavy morning fog and […]
Yesterday, I wanted to get the new year off to a good start, photographically. Despite a generally dismal day weather wise I did get out with my camera. When I’ve had the opportunity recently my intent has been to really pay attention to creating images that are expressive, sharing what it was like to me […]
Get Excited! Every time it snows I get a little more excited about the upcoming First Annual Adirondack High Peaks Winter Photography Event Jan. 30 to Feb. 3, 2019. Recently, I made a run up to the High Peaks region to coordinate catering for this event (you better be hungry) and I got to enjoy […]
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 […]

This park offers one of the most beautiful collections of waterfalls anywhere that I’m aware of. So, the October 11-15 workshop promises to be amazing. […]
A couple weeks ago, give or take, I added a sign into the mix with my work that’s displayed at Gallery 54 in Skaneateles, NY. It reads, “Doctors don’t make house calls any more . . . but Tom does.” It then goes on to briefly explain that I’m ready to help Gallery 54 customers […]
I was literally and figuratively blown away during my recent visit to Death Valley National Park. As many of you already know, I traveled to the famous park in Southern California, and just north and west of Las Vegas, NV back in February and March. I went there, not because of the park but for […]
In my most recent post, following my return from Death Valley National Park and two Guy Tall/Michael Gordon Visionary Photography Workshops, I noted that I would be looking at the use of Visual Elements to control the attention of the viewers of our images. This leads me to the idea that all pictures are not […]
