Jim Thorpe: Social Distancing

Jim Thorpe Pennsylvania: AntiSocially Distant 4pm Sunday

So, with the current social distancing recommendations from both the PA Department of Health, the CDC, and just about every other damn medical professional on earth. I have been cooped up at my place for over a week and cabin fever set in. Yesterday was simply gorgeous out, amazing blue skies with a few fluffy […]

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 […]

Extreme Social Distancing

So, it’s time to bring Social Distancing to the extreme. Here we are with apparently the world coming to a messy end, COVID-19 spreading throughout the universe and people stockpiling toilet paper. What’s a healthy person to do when everything is closed, St. Patrick’s Day events in the region are cancelled, and everyone is either […]

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 […]

Photography, Introversion and walking into the spotlight

Introverts Unite!

Introverts of the world, unite! (separately, in our own spaces and without much fanfare). Last Friday night I held the first public showing of my photography at Fox Optical & Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. I have to admit it was one of the more intimidating and nerve-wracking things I’ve done in a long time. Putting […]

What’s in my camera bag?

Updated 14 March 2020 with new gear I picked up recently 😀 I’ve been asked on a couple different occasions lately: “what’s in your camera bag?”. Alternatively, “You always have your camera bag with you, what do you carry around day to day?”. I’ve been using a Peak Design large backpack for a few years […]

So, as I’ve posted elsewhere, I am showing my photography at Fox Optical and Gallery in Bethlehem starting on March 6th. This is part of Bethlehem’s SouthSide Arts District First Friday event, and a Gallery Reception is being held on that night from 6 – 9pm. I will be there to answer any questions while […]

Mario Brothers on Mt. Victoria

Art Meets Function, and Mario Brothers: The top of Mount Victoria features mushroom-shaped vents which are connected to the underground water reservoir.

Mario Brothers, a blast from the past in more ways than one! I’ve started going through some photos for my March gallery show and stumbled across this shot from 2014. I was in Auckland, NZ for a business trip and spent a Saturday on Devenport Island walking around playing tourist. I took a bit of […]

Gallery Showing – First Time for Everything

Boston Summer and South Station

Well, its official, my first Gallery Showing is in March / April 2020 at the Fox Optical & Gallery in Bethlehem, PA. I’ve been involved in photography for years and never really thought about doing this, but someone recently talked me into it. I am extremely amazed, even if a bit nervous. I just turned […]
