Rust, Decay and Beauty
About six months ago I moved to Bethlehem, PA from the Pocono Mountains. My new place is on the South Side in the Arts District, a few blocks from Steel Stacks. This is the former home of Bethlehem Steel, which is now a 10 acre facility for arts, events, and of course MusikFest 🤟🏻 When […]
Happy New Year (and Screw You 2020!)
So it is a couple days into 2021, the hangovers and parties are done with. Here we are, a weekend of settling into the New Year has come and gone. The past 12 months have been a whirlwind of a dumpster fire, haven’t they. Well, I am going to try and leave all that behind […]
Water Under the Bridge
Another day (day 15 and counting) of social distancing, everyday seems like “water under the bridge” in the fight against this pandemic. In order to try prevent losing my mind, I went out looking for some new places to photograph in the general area. This is really one of the few things I can do […]
Bethlehem SteelStacks – Rust in the Wind
Continuing the “Quarantine of 2020” photo tour. Today is closer to home in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania at SteelStacks. As I posted on my Facebook photography and Instagram pages yesterday, we may be stuck in ‘socially distancing‘ mode but that doesn’t mean we can’t look out virtual windows and see some beauty! See the original Facebook Post […]
Ceiling Frescoes of Saint Andrew the Apostle
Saint Andrew the Apostle Church … I’ve been going through a number of photos taken over last fall while in Italy on business. We had a couple ‘down days’ in Milan and took a day trip to Lake Como with a coworker. It was great to get out of the city and explore a bit […]
Duomo di Milano Altar
This photo of the Duomo di Milano altar was taken last fall while in Milan on business. I am finally getting through a large number of photos taken on that trip. It was a good thing we went on this trip in the fall of 2019 instead of the original plan for the spring of […]
Full Moon on Sunday
Late last year I picked up a new Sony 200-600mm f/5.6-6.3 lens and the full moon on the morning of January 12th screamed to be captured. It was about 7:30 in the morning and I went out with my tripod, new lens, camera and coffee to set up for a few shots. This was the […]
Trinity College Library “Long Room”, Dublin Ireland
A couple different takes on a shot I took at the Trinity College Library while visiting Dublin in October. This shot of “The Long Room” is a wide angle image of the library with a Laowa 15mm f/2 lens with multiple brackets and processed the HDR in On1 Photo Raw. I’ve been working on this […]
Photos from the Stairway to Book Heaven
Last fall I took a trip to Dublin, Ireland and spent a day in Book Heaven – Trinity College Library. While there, I visited the Book of Kells exhibit. Unfortunately (but understandably) the library did not allow photography inside the exhibit at all. After spending some time in the exhibit, I ended up hanging out […]
London Photography – October 2018
London Calling? In October I had a business trip over to London to attend the Payment Card Industry Community Meeting as well as a visit to our European HQ offices. While there was a ton of work to do in the ten days I spent there, I did have a number of opportunities to get out […]
