Autumn is my favorite travel and photography season and this year has been no exception. I enjoy travelling this time of the year rather than in the summer because: (1) the weather is still nice, (2) children are (or should be) in school, (3) there are no lines on rides or at popular tourist sites, [...]

Thank you, [...]

I’m a landscape photographer. Okay, I’ll throw in some flower macros or animals on occasion but, basically, the majority of my images are landscapes. People, whether portraits, lifestyle, or street sniping just isn’t my thing. However, since I would like to become a professional photographer when I retire, it’s a credo of some sort that [...]

I had dipped my big toe into the cold murky waters of infrared photography and received quite a bit of positive feedback on my first set of pictures. The next step should?ve been to carefully wade into that deep pool ? little by little – and stay close to shore, perhaps only getting my feet and ankles wet.
