Somehow, Sundays have become photo days. I didn’t add it to my calendar. I need to, though. At some point every Sunday, I’ll make my rounds to DeviantArt, Behance, and Fine Art America. I’ll check out notifications, upload new photos and interact with the community. While checking in to one Read more…
It’s summer which means 90+ degree weather. I far too often hike in hot weather. My first trip this year in Beacon, NY probably wasn’t the smartest. 90 degrees with little shade. I didn’t wear a hat. I threw my hoodie over me to get some relief from the heat. Read more…
A lot of the artists I follow sell nature photography prints. They also say their print sales make up the smallest portion of their income. I’m kinda used to that by now having published 15 books. When it comes to being an entrepreneur, it’s all about multiple income streams. If Read more…

I have a complicated relationship with black and white landscape photography. Nature has so many pretty colors. I get distracted by the colors and the scene that I sometimes forget about telling a story through my photos. Black and white landscape photos shouldn’t be an afterthought. Most times, I take Read more…
Technically, today, the 21st, is the first day of winter. This means, a snowstorm hit NY at the tail end of fall. I’m not complaining. I got to take some amazing winter photos before everything shuts down again. I used to like snow as a kid, for obvious reasons. No Read more…
