Favorite Vermont Images of 2021
It’s hard to believe 2021 is quickly coming to a close and we’ve been living with the pandemic for nearly two years. For some reason I didn’t do an end of the year “Best Of” post in 2020. I’m not really sure why I didn’t do one last year because as I look back...
Best Landscape Photographs of 2019
Wow, and just like that not only is another year offically in the books but we've also crossed the threshold of yet another decade. For me, it will offically become the 3rd decade that I've been pursuing my passion for landscape photography. 25 years ago I began my...

5 Tips for Better Stream & Waterfall Photographs

Holy cow!! I can hardly believe that 2018 has already come and gone! And just like that I'm realizing that my last post was from almost exactly one year ago; the 2017 year in review of my favorite images. To say I've been a bit remiss in posting to the blog would be...
Color is in the Eye of the Beholder
So, I’ve got this friend… No, really I do! He’s real, not just made up. Anyway, we’ve been shooting together for a long time, routinely critique each other’s comps in the field, and email images back and forth for feedback or just to brag a little. Lately I’ve...
Best Images of 2017

Best of from 2016
Well, I have to admit, it's been a really really long time since I've updated the blog. It's also been a couple of years since I've compiled a collection of my favorite images from the previous calendar year. The past few years have honestly been a...
Selective Blending
To blend, or not to blend: that is the question: or at least it’s a question that I get asked regularly by many curious photographers and workshop students. Another question that runs in the same vein as this one goes like this; “Is this HDR?” Well here’s my answer,...
Patagonia and the Sony A7R
