75,676 images are in my Lightroom catalog. There’s bound to be lost gold in there somewhere. I look, react and most times get stuck, unable to decide what’s worthy. Paralysis! Today I was unstuck, if just for a moment. Thanks Karl for taking me to Mill Creek in 2011. The green Rhododendron leaves reaching […]
Many of the facilities at Ellis Island that housed and cared for immigrants to the United States have fallen into decay. The Ellis Island Gallery is the result of a photo tour to Ellis Island led by Tony Sweet and Mark Menditto to support Save Ellis Island. Save Ellis Island is working diligently to arrest the decay and restore this important […]
When Chuck and I arrived at Mustard Point the sky was blue without promise of a special sunset. As the sun moved lower in the sky clouds moved in slowly from the north. The setting sun hit the horizon and an intense warm glow radiated across the landscape. I was glad that we showed up!
I’m proud to have 3 photographs hanging and for sale At More Than Fine Framing in Towson MD. Each of these was captured in Acadia National Park in Maine.

On these journeys traveling down the road the question often is “should we stop here”? On an ambitious day and the photographic sprit is strong most times it’s a yes. On other days the ambition […]
Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada is a great place to visit. Around every corner and every bend the desert landscape has been shaped by wind water and time. Valley of Fire is 55 miles from Las Vegas and well worth a visit with or without a camera. I became aware of this park after seeing images of […]
Grand Tetons National Park is truly a spectacular place to visit. Oxbow bend is a classic photograph in the park and a great place to view wildlife. This shot with Mount Moran the prominent mountain in the shot was taken pre-dawn and converted to B&W using Nik Silver Efex Pro and post processed in Photoshop. . I really feel that […]
Zabriske Point is located in Death Valley National Park. I showed this shot to Annette from the Baltimore Camera Club and she described it as a parfait. The look is the result of using a 200mm lens to take the shot. The effect this has is to compress the elements in the image together reducing […]
