  • Abstract Yellow Flower : When is a photo not really a photo anymore?

    This is another in a series of photos I refer to as being “reimagined” images. The questions often comes up, how much can an image be digitally altered before it really cannot be considered a “photo” anymore? (see more text below)

  • Flowers in the Abstract

    I remember the first time I started playing with a flower photo in Photoshop. It was easy to lose myself at the computer using all the different adjustments to create abstract images. Now I can do the same thing on an iPad or iPhone anywhere on Earth, a far cry from my formative photography years…

  • Happy Chincoteague Pony Swim Day (and don’t forget about the birds)

    To everyone lucky enough to be on Chincoteague Island today, Happy Pony Swim Day! Photographing this great event is definitely on my bucket list and I hope to be there some year soon! (Please don’t miss slide show below)

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: The Golden Hour : Deep Creek Lake Fishing

    My favorite “Golden Hour” is when the light first seeps through the atmosphere in the early morning. For some reason that light looks the best to me as the day is new and everything seems untouched.

  • Reflection in St. Louis with an iPhone

    I shot this photo during a business trip to St. Louis a few years ago. As is my usual practice during such journeys, I rose early and took a walking tour of the surrounding area with my Nikon and iPhone in tow, for me, a great way to start the day.

  • Flower Power

    This very orange flower photo was yet another picture I shot while on the house and garden tour in Garrett County (MD) in June.

  • Berlin, Pennsylvania

    I took this photo in Berlin, Pa., in May while on our trip to the Flight 93 Memorial in Western, Pa., this was the same trip that I shot my Somerset County barn photo on.

  • Garrett County (MD) Farm Scene

    The Deep Creek Lake Area in Western Maryland is probably best known for its incredible lake and river offerings as well as it picturesque mountains that provide great skiing during the winter months.

  • Weekly Photo Challenge: Companionable: DockDogs

    This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending the Eastern Regional DockDogs Championships at the WISP resort at Deep Creek Lake in McHenry, MD. When I saw that the weekly photo challenge was “Companionable,” I could not think of a better group of my pictures that would illustrate this theme than what I photographed…
