Quandary Peak
I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided on a whim to climb my first "14er". Jeans, running shoes, and a light jacket weren't exactly ideal equipment, but I guess h... Read More
Flee to the Tropics
Slowly but surely fall is turning into winter here in the Midwest... and lately the temperature has been getting dangerously close to skip-town-and-flee-to-the-tropics weather. (I've ... Read More
Epic Seahorse Battle
It seems a bit ridiculous to rob a sunset of its color, but I really like how this turned out. Check out the contrast of the smooth waves at the top and the sharp, jagged clouds c... Read More
TiltShift Pittsburgh
I'm jumping on the bandwagon big time here, but the tiltshift effect is too fun to not experiment with. It even made an appearance in the new Facebook movie, The Social Network. I... Read More
Silent Disconnect
Have you ever found yourself in a situation that felt like it was about to turn into a horror film? Imagine a curious photographer stumbling into an abandoned factory through a broke... Read More
Warped
Like most of the city, Time Square is a lot to take in at once. This 180 degree lens gave me the upper hand. The quality isn't great, but I like the immersive feel.... Read More
One on One
This is another shot from New York City. After the complexity of Time Square, this single high rise satisfied my urge for simplicity - One interesting building on one afternoon sky.... Read More
Broadway
Broadway was in a good mood that night. I don't remember crowded sidewalks or sirens; I remember the perfectly warm night air, the energy, and the flow. There was no spare attention... Read More
Cage the Beast
Time Square is sensory overload. It's confusing, beautiful, and actually really really difficult to photograph. I found that it was tough to compose a shot in the midst of that chao... Read More
Central Park Reservoir
It was beautiful in New York City last weekend. Unlike my first visit to NYC back in April, this trip was near perfection. (I have a couple more great shots that I'll be sharing ove... Read More
Fabric Shop
I can't claim any of the genius behind this shot. The actress directed the set - I just clicked the button. Give a "like" and I'll pass it along to the deserving party.... Read More
Gold
The more I travel the more I appreciate where I’m from. And it doesn't come down to beauty, weather, or night life. I guess it's just an appreciation of the connection I have wi... Read More
Cold Front
This afternoon the temperature dropped 10 degrees in 10 minutes. A cold front swept across the state bringing hope of much needed rain. I felt 3 drops. Even though we didn't get ... Read More
Heelflip
Every day after school we'd meet at the same spot to warm up. We'd cruise around town, hit all the normal spots, and (when I got a car) cruise nearby towns looking for stairs, ledges,... Read More
Cross Section
Last autumn tree-trimmers stormed through our neighborhood to cut branches away from overhead wires. They did a number on these two. No respect for their elders... The westward s... Read More
Insanity
This is an HDR shot of an abandoned insane asylum. No joke. Since it was shot at night, the only light available was the eerie glow of distant streetlights. I half expected to see hat... Read More
Stars and Sunspots
It's difficult not to feel patriotic in Philadelphia. However, sight-seeing wasn't at the top of our list on this scorching afternoon. We were headed to Lincoln Field (where the Ea... Read More
3 Shadow Style
This shot was completely unplanned. I like that. I didn't set out to take photographs of a beautiful shadow, arrange them into panels, and post them here. Actually, I just notice... Read More
Helium High
Any day that you find yourself playing with balloons in the park... is a good day. Earlier today I got a text message from a buddy who wanted some help testing a setup for an upcom... Read More
Armageddon
I caught this menacing beast barreling in from the southwest on August 5th. I love feeling the temperature plummet as the cold front sweeps in! You might be thinking "wow, anothe... Read More
Delivery
It's been exactly one week since I posted the first photo on this site. I want to offer a huge "thank you" to those that commented and liked (34 Facebook likes at the time of this pos... Read More
The Summer of the Storms
This summer we had the absolute gnarliest storms I can ever remember experiencing here in the midwest. Like many people, storms fascinate me. Actually, I have some reservations abou... Read More
Hawaiian Canopy
Make sure you view this one full size (click on the photo). Besides the beautiful micro patterns of this gorgeous canopy (I have an obsession with trees), I see two things: First, thi... Read More
Candid Poise
Beauty is readily found in nature. But as much as I enjoy sunsets and landscapes, nothing approaches the natural beauty we find in other people. This photo captures just that - a m... Read More
Central Park – New York City
My trip to New York City in April could have gone better. A lack of planning, a car accident, and more lack of planning had us lovingly referring to the trip as "Fail Trip." That sa... Read More
Like Storm Chasing
This shot was from Tuesday night earlier this week. I felt like a storm chaser. I was driving west - out of town - frantically glancing up at the sky as I searched for a place to ... Read More
Honu Hangout – Oahu’s North Shore
This is the daily hangout spot for a group of Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle's (Honu). There are 27 Honu that come in daily on these rocks - and amazingly the locals can identify them each... Read More
Barbed Wire
This is one of a thousand photos taken in the back yard of my parents house. There is a barbed wire fence marking the edge of the corn field. It must have been early spring because ... Read More
My First Photo Ever – The Spark
Sure, I had taken photos before this one - random snapshots here and there of a family reunion or something. But this was the first time that I ever took a photo just for the sake of ... Read More
