Well 2010 is on its way out. I can hardly believe I had such a successful photography year and I can only wonder what the next one will bring. Thanks to everyone who stopped by, commented or even subscribed to this blog. Here's the latest batch of photos and probably the last of the year. ... Continue Reading →
This is a new thing for me, choosing my best photos of the year. I’ve done it with books I’ve read and albums I’ve bought, but not things I made myself. It can be hard to subjectively judge your own work, but I think it's a worthy exercise for anyone who wants to get better... Continue Reading →
There. I've done it. Chosen the best photos I've taken in 2010. And written a blog post about it. But this isn't it. This is about the runners up and nominees. I still love them and they are still special, but they lack a certain special something.... Stop that. No singing. Plus I wanted to... Continue Reading →
This time an old quarry up in the White Mountains in North Conway. It was collectively known as the Redstone Quarry and had several faces and cutting operations. The area is huge and I needed many more hours to shoot there to get all of it. Up until the late 1940s it was an active... Continue Reading →

One of the 3 points on my list was to have better organization when it came to my picture files. While it wasn't a complete fail, it also wasn't a complete... Continue Reading →
If you've been reading this blog or following my flickr or Smugmug feeds you'll have noticed my penchant for abandoned places (and my love for heavy metal - spot the references if you can). Especially between seasons if you know what I mean. Sure, you can shoot derelict stuff anytime, but after the leaves fall... Continue Reading →
Thanks to everyone for their considered comments on my last post. I got together with my friend the other day and even though she knew I'd be bringing mine, she didn't bring her camera. This tells me pretty much all I need to know about her stage with it right now - snapshots only, nothing... Continue Reading →
All 3 of you who read this blog. How did you learn to do what you do? Assuming you're capable of making the camera give you the results you want, how did you figure it out? I ask because I have a friend who just bought her first SLR in ages...or maybe ever. She knows... Continue Reading →
Some ask if I ever hang out with live people, that's how often I can be found in a cemetery. I'm just drawn to them. Here's a round-up of some of the best from the last few months - There are lots more in the Graven Images Gallery if you can't get enough.
Outdoors photographers are at the mercy of the sun and clouds. We can't make our own perfect light and so when it comes along we have to recognize it and get out there. My favorite kind of light is hazy clouds with breaks of blue sky. Not quite overcast, but not quite full sun either. ... Continue Reading →
