Note (November 2022): this post was in my draft folder for years! It’s from 2015, and I “found” it while repairing broken links in my long-neglected blog. For me, at least, it was nice to read my old thoughts… So here it is! On a Thursday a few weeks ago, the weather forecast was for […]
McGregor Bay
I’m very lucky to have access to a wonderful family vacation spot on McGregor Bay, Ontario, which I’ve visited on and off for many years — starting when I was nine years old. A long time ago! Elizabeth and I hadn’t been in several years, but were back this year, meeting up with my sister […]
Potomac, Rocks
I had a “Friday off,” and decided to get up (somewhat) early to visit the Great Falls area of the Potomac River. I live in Virgina, in the Washington D.C. suburbs, and have often made the trip to Great Falls National Park, which is on the Virginia side of the Potomac. But this Friday I […]

The photo above is a long exposure image of the weir not too far upstream of the falls. This 4-minute exposure was taken with my Lee Big Stopper neutral density filter, which […]
Small Falls

This image was taken along Cedar Run, which is one of my favorite places in park. (Although, despite having visited the park many times over quite […]
Lichen on Rocks
Here’s another image from Garrapata State Park, California, which I’m particularly pleased with. While exploring the park, I spotted these lichen-covered rocks, and was sure right away that I’d find some sort of composition to work with. And indeed I did! My sense is that the image is a bit “different,” which is something I […]
Icelandic Flow
Another black & white conversion — this one from Iceland, taken in July of last year. We visited the spectacular and dramatic Gullfoss on a rainy day. Despite the challenges of keeping my camera dry, the rain and mist made for moody scene, which was a treat to photograph. This “small” scene was just upstream […]
