Your Own Backyard
A week ago, I posted this to my Linkedin Page. I thought it was a good post to turn into a blog. When feeling stuck for inspiration, don’t forget to look in your own backyard. Living in the Baltimore [County] area, sometimes you get stuck where you are. In reality, Philadelphia is under two hours…
Delayed Dorchester County Weekend Workshops

COVID, Struggles, and Return to Shooting!
October 2020: That was my last post. This update will not be sexy for SEO, but that’s okay! I contracted COVID in late-December 2020 and while I was lucky enough to live on my couch for a week and not a hospital bed, it still was not great. It affected my time with family during…
End of Milky Way “Season”
End of Milky Way “Season” The end of Milky Way “season” has come. It ends after the October new moon.

There seems to be a community out there shooting all types of “scapes”. Recently I stumbled into the nightscape world of photography. It is a shooting…
How a Simple Message and The Milky Saved My Journey in Photography
This is a post about how a simple message and the Milky Way saved my photography at least in the short term. I want to start by saying I hope everybody is staying healthy, safe, vigilant, and sane during these bizarre times. I lost my photos from January to March. This occurred when I accidentally…
Hope on The Horizon
This is a story about “Hope on The Horizon”. As an artist, sometimes you run into a creative mental block. This happened to your’s truly this past week as I was looking to title an image. Why do I call myself an artist? I used to think the same thing. Eventually realizing that my work…
The Osprey nest
Sunday Morning Early last week, about this time I was asked to stop by my Aunt’s house. She wanted me to take photos of the Osprey nest just off her property. My Aunt and her neighbor have been watching the Osprey nest for a few weeks from their waterfront homes. The Osprey nest is no…
