    Another nighttime walk in the woods with rubber boots and a flashlight. Lots of green frogs out tonight.

  • Skunk Cabbages


    The skunk cabbages are emerging, a sure sign of spring. Dates we noticed them previous years: These photos are also me testing out a used Canon Extender EF 2x III that I picked up. The reviews are accurate: A bit of a reduction in sharpness and a reduction in speed on auto focusing. You lose…

    Weekend in the Catskills

    Amanda, Charlie, and I spent last weekend in the Catskills, exploring the Phoenicia and West Kill areas. (Or, depending on how you look at it, the Esopus and West Kill watersheds.) I took along my camera and tried to capture some of the beauty of that region in the winter. Woodland Valley Rd bridge over…

  • Back cover photo in 2026 issue of Tenkara Angler

  • Hudson Ice Floes


    Hudson Ice Floes

    After picking Charlie up from school yesterday, we went on a drive to photograph the ice floes on the Hudson River. One of my favorite things when we lived on the Yonkers Waterfront was seeing the ice floes in the middle of winter. We haven’t had much ice the last couple years, so I was…

  • Three tiny snowballs


    I thought about making these monotone, but I love the subtle blues that come out in photos of snow.

  • Cozy places photo walk


    As part of my goal for this year to get back into photography, I charged my SLR’s batteries and went on a photo walk in the woods after a big snow. I gave myself the theme of “cozy places” that small woodland creatures might hole up during the storm. I couldn’t help but take a…

  • The Sheep at Sawkill Farm


    The Sheep at Sawkill Farm

    Amanda and I spent the weekend exploring the Hudson Valley. On our way back today we stopped at the Sawkill Farm store. I had my camera gear in tow and they graciously allowed me to take some photos of their sheep. It was a drizzly day, but I had a wonderful time. The sheep have…

  • Point Reyes National Seashore


    Point Reyes National Seashore

    Amanda and I spent a few days in California wine country at the end of March before we drove over to Yosemite. We were kind of disappointed in wine country because we expected to learn a lot more than any of the tour guides seemed to be interested in teaching us, so we took one…

  • Yosemite National Park


    Yosemite National Park

    We love going to national parks in the spring. The weather is cool, the parks aren’t crowded, and the waterfalls are spectacular due to snowmelt. Here is a small collection of photos I shot in Yosemite at the end of March 2016.

  • Glacier National Park


    Glacier National Park

    Last year Amanda and I visited Glacier for a couple days before the official start of the summer season. Going to the Sun Road was still closed, but we avoided the crowds, explored the park in solitude, took in the wonderful scenery, and ran into some incredible wildlife. Here is the best of what I…

    Textures and Colors of Yellowstone

    Last year Amanda and I visited Yellowstone for a couple days before the official start of the summer season. It was chilly and some roads were closed due to snow, but we avoided the crowds and got to explore the park in relative solitude. Here are the best photos I shot over two days. I…

  • Photo Credit at The Daily Caller

    Last week I had a photo credit at The Daily Caller. The photo I took at Hillsdale to illustrate a story on medical marijuana was picked up by The Daily Caller to illustrate a story on Chicago’s decriminalization decision. See the original photo.

  • Diving


    ,

    At the beginning of the semester, I got to spend some time down at the pool shooting some fun photos for the Hillsdale Collegian. The sports editor wanted to run a profile on the swim team’s new diver, Gretchen. She is the first diver Hillsdale has had since the 2008 season. Gretchen Whenever the Collegian…

  • Lighting Smoke Trails


    ,

    I shot this for a story at my college paper about the city deferring the medical marijuana decision ruling four consecutive times. We needed a catchy jump from A1, so I came up with this. This was a fun shoot. We got some strange looks, but good results. Disclaimer: These are hand-rolled tobacco cigarettes. No…
