Sunset over the Pocono Mountains

Pocono Mountain Sunset

Driving home in the Pocono Mountains, out here in North East Pennsylvania, I had to pull over to grab some shots of this gorgeous sunset. The sky was on fire, lit up with amazing reds, purples and yellows. I had my Sony A7Riv and Tamron 28-75mm in the car with a tripod, so set up […]

Astrophotography: Night Skies at Francis E. Walter Dam - White Haven, Pennsylvania

Updated 24 April 2020: I added a third image from the night’s astrophotography shots with an amazing purple hue from the light pollution.

Dealing with Isolation, Inertia and Creativity

Julio Nieto's Why Have They Cast Me from Heaven sculpture outside the Barcelona Cathedral

I know things are challenging right now. I, and probably you as well, have been combating isolation and inertia. Trying to maintain levels of creativity while working my day job at home. Doing more with less, a smaller team and more work. Yes, I know that I shouldn’t complain, I am better off than a […]

COVID-19 Isolation at Bear Creek Falls

Yet another Groundhogs Day of Sparkling Isolation. Today I went out for a drive to maintain #socialdistance while trying to retain my sanity and escape my house. The weather was fairly nice early, so I stopped by Bear Creek Falls, one of my regular shooting locations here in the Pocono Mountains. I have been itching […]

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 […]

An Unexpected Award: View Bug Elite Architecture

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
