Beavertail Sunset 5.21.2015
by Ben
Sitting at the house Thursday night I saw some dramatic clouds rolling in at sunset. I grabbed my kit and ran out the door and headed to Beavertail. I’ve been exploring the shoreline there for the last year or so looking for some fun non lighthouse locations and I’ve got a few I’m really enjoying […]

Castle Hill Sunset 5.6.2015
by Ben
Went out to Castle Hill to watch the volvo boats come in last night. They were due around sunset but the wind was dying fast so I figured I’d go somewhere photogenic while waiting. Castle hill also has an added benefit of being able to see out to sea -vs- a much shorter view from […]

Fort Wetherill April 2015
by Ben
Made it out to Fort Wetherill for the first sunrise in a long time (ski season took over this winter in a great way!). Explored a new spot as well which is always fun. Sunrise was a bit of a bust with no clouds on the horizon but it was great to get out […]

4234′
by Ben
Four two three four… What’s that? That’s how much vertical I was able to ski in one run Saturday. It’s also my personal record for single longest run ever for me, including when I lived out west. I was able to get up north for one last weekend of skiing with David Simms and David […]

January Update!
by Ben
It’s fun to look back at these pictures from January a month later… The last few pictures in this set are from our first snow or the “blizzard”. It seemed like a lot of snow then… But it’s a month later, it’s all still here, and it’s BURIED under about another foot or so of […]

Beavertail 12.7.2014
by Ben
Made it out to Beavertail this morning. The wind was howling but I wanted to shoot badly enough I didn’t let that stop me. It did however lead to a few soft shots thanks to the camera moving around a bit. It was still worth the effort as I was able to explore the west […]
