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 …
For a portion of my life New Jersey was home. I spent four great years while in college at Princeton, but after graduation, I never returned to the state. Living in Michigan, New Jersey just wasn’t on the route to anywhere. Now years later I find myself in New Jersey again. The time is short …
