Evergreen Grove
On a small penninsula at Lackawanna there’s a grove of evergreen trees, planted in straight lines, a remnant of the days when the area was still farmland, I suppose. It’s a small grove; a brisk walk will take you through it in about two minutes. But since the first time I hiked through, I’ve always [...]
A Good Evening
The sky cleared just before dinner, so before the dishes were even washed I grabbed some gear and ran out the door, getting up to Lackawanna with about an hour of daylight left, the light nice and golden. I was a bit ambivalent about going back up to the park, after all the shooting I’ve done there. [...]
Lewisburg, PA
Took a little trip yesterday, out of the “big city” and down into central PA, to Lewisburg. No real reason, just one of those fun afternoon trips you take to see something new, poke around a small town, and get lost a couple of times despite the best efforts of the GPS. Lewisburg, PA, for [...]
Rocking the Light
If you read the previous thread about the Strobist workshop, then you’ll recognize some of what follows. This all came out of the last hour or two of the workshop, when a group of us decided that by staying inside, we were missing out on the best stuff. In the end, we have to thank [...]
Strobist Workshop: a HUGE success
Saturday was the culmination of a long process: the first Northeastern DPC Strobists workshop. This was an event that I’d had in mind for several years, finally brought to fruition, and man was it ever a blast! Ten photographers descended on the Pocono Inn’s conference room for a full day of studio shooting. We had [...]
A few simple clicks
Got a half day at work on Friday, following two days called off due to snow, so suffice to say that last week was an easy one. I headed for the hills Friday afternoon looking for some solitude and hopefully a good click or two before a weekend spent with visiting family. My usual haunts [...]
Festival of Ice
This weekend was the Clarks Summit Festival of Ice, a street fair that I became quite acquainted with since Mandy was doing PR/social media work for it. Spent about two hours over there this morning and was very impressed – it’s great to see a community come together and put on a festival as nice as this [...]
Eagles – best day yet!
Getting back to Mongaup Falls just after sunrise required a 0545 wakeup call, but was totally worth it! Sadly, the activity at the Mongaup blind was mostly taking place down the lake, far out of range, and directly in the flare of the rising sun. The juveniles made a few passes up by the blind, [...]
New York City
New York City is, in a word, iconic. The Empire State building, Central Park, Times Square – these are places that nearly everybody knows the name of and has seen in movies. There is a magnetism in the city that draws people in and captures their imagination. Although I am not a city person by [...]
