Often when getting back from a trip, you’ve got behind on so many others things that you feel like you need to take time to catch up. That’s all good, but this time I was going to make sure that I still kept shooting. I’ve been spoiled the last couple weeks with cooperative wildlife wherever …
As always, Huntington Beach has been so much fun. So much fun that the 4 nights I spent here went by before I had realized. I had one last morning to get some photography in before the last few hours of driving home. I had a plan in mind. The last couple of days I …
When people see you in the field with a 600mm they think that you can bring the freckles of person standing on the moon into view. I wish it was the case. A long lens is a great help, but you still have to get fairly close to wildlife for most photographs. This morning I …
I hope everyone had a great New Year! I went to bed early last night so I could get up early to start this year doing my favorite thing on the planet – photographing wildlife. I had spent the last day and a half photographing at the beach and jetty, so today I tried for …
Every day from the first of the year to the last, the sun comes up and then sets (assuming you’re not above the Arctic Circle). Sometimes clouds obscure this from us, but more often than not you can see it. It truly is a wonderful event to behold. If you haven’t watched a sunrise in …

When your original plan falls through you need to go to your backup. First of all, that means you must have a backup. It’s something I’ve found to be very helpful in my photography. So the Bald Eagles weren’t catching enough fish, so I decided to try going to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. This …
So let’s say you have the opportunity to stop wherever you would like between South Carolina and Connecticut to photograph during the winter. Where would you go? I spent a lot of time planning each and every stop and with only a limited amount of time and money on my hands my choices revolved around …
Christmas is right around the corner, but I had a morning that I could get some photography in before it would be time to start the final leg of the drive to Connecticut for the holidays. After reviewing my images over the evening and seeing that I had a good number of sharp images with …
