Ayn and the Green Mountain State
Monday, March 18th, 2019
Some photos from a great road-trip shoot with Ayn in Vermont. Vermont is an incredibly beautiful state. It’s hard to miss with the lovely landscapes everywhere. Add a great model like Ayn and results are pretty much guaranteed. More to come from this trip.
Testing…testing…

These photos were a test. Angie agreed to help me try out a new lens I’d just gotten. I’ve been hunting for a good soft-focus lens for my Micro 4/3 cameras. I have an old single-element lens that I’ve used for many years that is just about perfect. It’s Nikon mount, but can be easily […]
French PHOTO Strikes Again
Thursday, February 28th, 2019
Once again one of my photos has been selected as a winner in the annual contest sponsored by French PHOTO magazine. I’ve lost track, but I think this may be about the 18th time I’ve had a winner in this contest. The magazine claims that it’s the largest photo contest in the world, with around […]
Variations on a Place
Saturday, February 23rd, 2019
I did several photos of Areia at this one spot at Starved Rock State Park. I found the different feel of these interesting, so instead of just picking one, I decided to share the series with you. I guess the one above is the “classic” photo with Areia in a pose. But I really like […]
A Favorite Model in a Favorite Place
Wednesday, February 20th, 2019
Starved Rock State Park, not far from Chicago, is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in the US, if not the world. I love visiting and shooting there. It’s always a bit of a workout. There are steps, sometimes wood, sometimes carved out of the stone, that lead down into the canyons. As they […]
Is It Hot Enough For You?
Wednesday, February 13th, 2019
Nevaeh Lleh and I visited some other spots out in the desert in addition to Joshua Tree. It was very hot all the time we were in the desert. Hot as in highs around 115 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures like that limited what we were able to do. We did nearly all our shooting in the early […]
More From Joshua Tree

As promised, here are some more photos of the amazing Nevaeh Lleh from our shoot at Joshua Tree. We did some other things after our visit to Joshua Tree. You’ll get to see what in my next post.
Nevaeh Lleh at Joshua Tree
Thursday, January 31st, 2019
I’ve been saddened to hear about the damage done to Joshua Tree National Park during the government shutdown. It is a beautiful place and deserves our respect and protection. So I thought I’d share some photos from my last visit to this amazing place. I was fortunate to have one of my favorite models with […]
Wet
Friday, January 18th, 2019
I’ve learned that these two of my photos will be included in the exhibit “Wet” at the Darkroom Gallery in Vermont. The juror for this show was Elizabeth Opalenik. It looks to be an excellent show. All you Vermonters should go check it out. It opens February 7 and will be up until March 17.
Blue In West Virginia
Monday, January 7th, 2019
Some more photos from my shoot in some of my favorite places in the beautiful state of West Virginia, this time with another of my favorite models, BlueRiverDream. We hiked around to a few waterfalls that are beautiful and require some serious hiking and climbing to get to. I think the results were well worth […]
