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 those [...]
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 [...]
Frederick & Lackawanna
Out at sunrise to see the 1-2″ of snow that was forecast, hoping for one of those beautiful mornings where the boughs are powdered in white. Instead, the weatherman failed again and we had a breezy morning with no snow at all. But the sky was clearing and the light was a somewhat unusual blue, [...]
Frederick the Duck
Frederick the Duck is an old friend from last year, who any longer-term readers should recognize. He made featured photos several times last winter, since his unique situation makes him a perfect subject.
Frederick is a domestic duck living at a nearby park. I’m not sure how he got there, but he isn’t able to leave, [...]
Snow Day
There’s a storm moving in on northeastern PA this evening and they’re calling for snow, sleet, freezing rain – pretty much the whole works, except for the plague of locusts (which, in my mind, was always the most interesting of the doomsday conditions). So with the prospect of a snow day tomorrow, which means extra [...]
November Sunrise
Technically it’s autumn until December 21st, even though the leaves are mostly long gone and the landscape has taken on a bleak look. But that doesn’t meant that it’s time to stay warm in bed and let the sun rise on its own. Nope – out of bed in the dark, with the temperature outside [...]
