When I arrived in Bandon Oregon, from a very long ride down Route 101 in the fog, I did not expect much, since I could not see it. The fog was thick and I could not see the beach from the overlook on Coquille Pt. But my wife and I decided to trek down the […]Read Post ›
Seeing in B&W can sometimes be a curse. But for me I think it helps me see shapes, texture, and light. I don’t mean I can’t see color but that colors need to really pop for me to take notice. Hence the post on the daylillies of a few days ago. This old white gate […]Read Post ›
This tree resides on Main St. in Rockport. It sits across the street from Brothers Brew and when you come out of the coffee shop it greets you like a something of majesty should. At one time it held a sign as you can see by the wrought iron sign holder that now sits empty. […]Read Post ›
I like poking around where lobsterman hang about after they are done for the day. This lobster shack is extraordinary with all the little nick knacks on the window sill and this wonderful old wheel stuck on the outside.

I have not posted in a while so I wanted to get everyone caught up on my image making. I have been pretty busy with Cape Ann Photo Tours and shooting for my former employer while their only photographer was on vacation. I like to shoot sports as most of you know, so it’s fun […]Read Post ›
Most days when we come out of the coffee shop there are some dogs waiting for their masters. A few days ago there was a van parked outside with a giant golden retriever waiting inside. He was the largest golden I have ever seen. It’s always fun seeing the pups out front when we come […]Read Post ›
Going back to film is easy, right! Well I found my long lost technique needs some work. So let me pose a question. How many of you check your depth of field on the rear screen after making a shot? I for one do – all the time. It’s part of my digital technique that […]Read Post ›
