The gang from NSOP decided a sunrise on thanksgiving would be fun, so 6 of us made it down to Beavertail this morning to shoot together. It was very fun, and mother natures played quite nice with us (it looked like it could be blue bird on the drive down). It was cold for the…

Made it out to Bass Rock Road Sunday… The plan was to shoot with the group Saturday AM but I slept through my alarm… So I went on Sunday and got rewarded with a pretty good sunrise. Bass Rock is a tricky place to shoot so it was fun to work the area and find…

I got the chance to teach a class on landscape photography this past week. Andy and I taught it together and I know I had a blast doing it. If we get the chance to do it again I’m sure we’ll rework a few things to improve it, but the students all seemed to enjoy…

Yep, it’s that time again. So if you see what looks like scruff on my face it’s a “beard”. No, really, it is. Also, Elias is learning how to take pictures with my camera now which has been fun. It started a few weeks ago with him holding the camera to his face, eyes closed…

Made it out to Beavertail for what’s probably the latest sunrise of the year. The surf was quite high and there were plenty of clouds but there really wasn’t much color. We still had four people in the group though and had a great morning.

Happy Halloween everyone! Elias and I had a great time going trick -or- treating tonight. Elias was Buzz and I went as woody. About 1/4 of the people recognized me, but half or more knew what Elias was. I think most of the hander-outers didn’t think I was dressed up? My parents also left Thursday…

Andy and I made it out to Devil’s Hopyard for our Halloween morning shoot. I was pleasantly surprised by this location. Not only was it a great place to shoot, but the drive in was an amazingly fun road to drive on, twisty, hilly, smooth, tight, it had all the elements of a great drive.…

I went down to Javits yesterday to go to photoexpo for the first time. It was a “working” trip for the forum and gear reviews basically, but a lot of fun. I met up with 4 of the NSOP guys as well and we hit up the show from 10am until 3pm, then 4 of…
