We've finally been getting some clear nights here in New England and this past Saturday I decided to take advantage of the skies and take some pictures of the stars.  There's a park not too far from where I live that has no lights and open views in most directions.  Unfortunately the humidity was high, causing the lens to fog over, and the moon was more than half full.  I was able to get some decent shots but figured I'd try again another time when the humidty wasn't causing havoc with the lens.

It's been quite awhile since I have written anything on the site.  I guess that's what happens when you have a new baby.  My wife and I became parents for the first time last November and it's quite the life adjustment.  No matter how much people tell you that a child will change your life, you really don't know until you experience parenthood for yourself.  I wouldn't change anything that has happened over the last 6+ months.  I haven't totally neglected my camera during that time either.  I probably have a thousand pictures of my daughter.  It doesn't hu

This is my favorite time of the year.  I'm not a huge fan of the summer.  It gets too hot, too muggy, too sticky, etc...  The spring is okay but there's a lot of rain and the days seem more unpredictable.  Winter would be my second favorite season even though it gets quite cold and I live in a snow belt area.  That leaves (no pun intended) fall.  I love the warm days and cool evenings.  It's usually not too hot or too cold.  The best part of the fall season is the New England foliage. 

I'm finally a published photographer.

I was up and out the door by 5am to meet up with the "New Hampshire Waterfall Gang" at 6am at Tucker Brook Town Forest in New Hampshire.  I did this in spite of the fact that it was raining out.  I figured I'd stop at Dunkin Donuts for breakfast but even the donut maker wasn't up this early...at all 3 of the locations that I passed.  So my morning wasn't starting out too good.  I knew I'd be getting wet and I'm hungry.  I got to the parking lot at 6am and was immediately swarmed by mosquitoes.  They apparently don't mind the rain.  I doused mysel

If "leaf peeping" was an Olympic sport, the White Mountains of New Hampshire would have to host the event each time.  People travel from all over the world each fall to drive and hike around the Whites to check out the amazing color display.  If you happen to hit the foliage at it's peak, you'll be left in awe and wanting more.

As far as I know, Gilson Pond isn't famous.  But it's neighbor is one of the most climbed mountains in the world.  Gilson Pond sits at the base of Mount Monadnock in Jaffrey, New Hampshire.  The sky looked like it might create some dramatic light toward sunset so I headed up to the mountain to find a good location for some photos.  I thought of the pond with the sun setting behind it and trecked through the snow and ice to the shore.  The clouds didn't disappoint.  The light show was dramatic as the sun dropped in the sky.  This is a combination of 3 photos layered to bring out the details on the ice while maintaining the contrasting colors of the sky and sun.

Sometimes I wake up and decide I'm taking a roadtrip.  That what happened just after the first of the year.  I had been meaning to go to Nuble Light, also called Cape Neddick Lighthouse, in York, Maine and get some pictures with the Christmas lights still lit.  So I packed up the photo gear around noon and headed off to the ocean.  I arrived a little after 2PM and just sat in my warm truck, remembering that I didn't bring my handwarmers.  I watched countless people pull up, get out of their vehicles, snap a couple of quick pics, jump back in their veh

You know it's love when your brand new spouse, who isn't an early riser, agrees to get up with you while you take photos of a sunrise.  We were on our honeymoon in Banff, Alberta, Canada when we drove to the Vermilion Lakes early one evening.  I looked at my wife and said "this would be a great spot to get a sunrise photo."  She agreed that we'd get up early the next morning to check out the sunrise over Mount Rundle.  We got up and drove to the location I had picked out the night before.  My wife was a trooper...for all of about 2 minutes.
