Earlier this week someone contacted me on Instagram to purchase this photo I took at Bear Creek Falls in White Haven, Pennsylvania in 2018. While the Instagram image was fine, I did need to adjust it for printing. To be honest, it wasn't one of my favorite shots from this location, but after reworking it and cleaning things up a…

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.

So, first of all, Happy New Year! I took a fairly long break from blogging in 2019 ... it was a hellacious year for me personally and professionally. Lets just leave it at that. I was quite bored with the old theme, the layout, the hassle of keeping it functional, and it completely turned me off to doing anything related…

So, its been a bit crazy work-wise so I haven't had a lot of time to post anything as of late. I did manage to upgrade Wordpress to 5.1 and trying out the new Gutenberg editor as I put this post together. The one thing I've found ways to find time for is photography and editing some of my older…
