Photographing everything under the sun There’s a very special photography venue in the East, called Shenandoah National Park, and it offers more opportunity for meaningful photography all in one place than anyone can reasonably expect to capitalize on in just a few days. I’ve made repeated trips to this park and it’s always different, always […]
We’re getting more than a little excited about the upcoming Adirondack High Peaks Winter Photography Event that starts Jan 30. With Olympic Passports to get us into the Olympic venues and it looking like a winter storm coming to give us plenty of snow things are looking really good. Add our guest speakers, Chris Murray […]
There are a few things landscape photographers need to understand about lines as we compose our images. #1 Lines comes in different “flavors”. The most common have to be those of the horizontal and vertical variety. Close to these two has to be the diagonal line. Of course there is also the irregular line and let’s […]
By this time each January in upstate New York, many of us, especially landscape photographers, (and gardeners, I bet) start to get a little antsy.

We had a good group, anxious to learn and enjoyable to work with and just be with. But, that’s a memory now, albeit a good one. It’s time to begin focusing in earnest on our next opportunity […]
