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 while still retaining Social and…

Sometimes the unexpected award via email can be wonderful! Like many of you, I've been cooped up in various levels of quarantine, self-quarantine, social distancing or just #stayingthefuckhome. Even though I am generally introverted by nature, this isolation has been really weighing on and getting to me the past 24 hours or so. My motivation has been dwindling and other…

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 before heading to the next…

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 yourself out there, stripping away…

Updated 14 March 2020 with new gear I picked up recently :D 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?". Manfrotto camera carry on bag for when I need everything and the kitchen sink I've been using…

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 a walk up Mount Victoria…

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 in a quick blurb for…
