Happy Monday!
What do you do with a cloudless featureless sky, and an impending sunrise. Well you can pack it in, or you can get creative. Here I tried out a few techniques that I’d used long ago and almost forgotten about. I like the negative space. I need to do more of these. […]
About two months ago Josh Carlisle and I went out to Capers Island on a spur of the moment adventure. The weather was crazy with storms, lightning, thick fog and incredible light. Just what we were after. 🙂
We had our tents and our kayaks so the next morning when […]
A state of stillness, calmness, and quiet in a person or place.
Snow arrived and the world grew still as the town shut down. The bridges closed and the ice and snow settled in. All was quiet. The crunching of my boots and every now and then the twittering of a bird. Amazing how quickly […]

I had been visiting this spot numerous times and tracking the sunset using The Photographer’s Ephemeris (http://photoephemeris.com/ – You need to use this) waiting until the sunset directly in line with this pier of rocks. These have been setup to prevent erosion. Although it looks […]
John and I ventured out to Lake Moultrie to capture these incredible cypress trees in the water. The water levels were nice and high and the sun was setting at a great angle to the trees which made for excellent conditions. We got there early and made our way down the dirt […]
