Los Angeles – Street Portraits in Santa Monica & Venice
So I’m LA for the week, visiting family that I haven’t seen in, oh, 23 years (which means what I “remember” is from photos, not actual memories), because my cousin Jenny was kind enough to fly me out here for a few days.
I took the opportunity today to take advantage of my body still being [...]
Return to Presque Isle State Park: Erie
I finally did it. I kicked my ass to get up for sunrise. I don’t know why exactly, but I have been struggling to get up and go shoot early a.m. this year. I think part of it is that I feel like I’ve been to the locations before, and the “wow” factor just isn’t [...]
Altoona: Sunrise
I know, I know, it’s been farrrrr too long since I posted (but I have been Twittering daily (you can follow me on Twitter to see what kind of trouble, er links, I’m getting into), but last weekend I finally forced myself to set my alarm for a sunrise shoot. The above photos are from [...]
Back to Presque Isle
I just got done spending a few days in Erie, and took a ride back to Presque Isle State Park. I slept through my alarm, after intending to shoot sunrise, so I ended up shooting in the rainy afternoon instead. The light wasn’t great, so I thought I’d try something a bit different with the [...]
Sunrise: Hobe Sound
I know, I know, a week and a half? No blog? I’ve been slacking, but I finally answered the bell for some sunrise photos this morning and the alarm is already set for tomorrow.
I had intended to head over to Coral Reef Park but it wasn’t where I remembered it. So with time running out on [...]
I went to the beach with some Wizards
Well it’s been too long since I shot something for me. Not “of” me, it just sorta worked out that way. I spent a lot of time looking at images of Tiger this week (page 93, this month’s Esquire, photo=WOW), and I guess it got me thinking about golf images.
First off, let me say that [...]
A special one-time offer
That’s right, one time. You see, back when I first started selling prints, shortly after Gutenberg invented the printing press, my Dad’s sister basically decided she needed to turn her home into the Levy Gallery, L.A. I’ve never been, but my parents have and she has somewhere around a dozen prints hanging in her home. [...]
2819 seconds in the woods
Rob and I headed down to World’s End park today in Hingham to shoot, and promptly got rained on. Not drizzled on, but dumped on (the second photo was taken during the rain). That was eight hours ago. My feet just got dry ten minutes ago.
Anyway, after the rain finally stopped, the sun broke out [...]
Quincy Bay
Sunset yesterday on Quincy Bay, Quincy, Massachusetts.

Scituate – splash & sunset
Friday I headed down to shoot Scituate Light at sunset, but, as you can see, I didn’t get any great shots of the lighthouse. On the drive back, frustrated that I didn’t get any great shots of any fall foliage or the lighthouse, Erin and I pulled over at a small pond just as the [...]
Cape Neddick – Nubble Light
I headed to New Hampshire yesterday, intending to shoot foliage with Gwyn. Welllll, that didn’t work out so much. After a few failed location attempts with Gwyn, I gave up on the foliage and thanks to my fancy new GPS, found a lighthouse just over the border in York, Maine.
In the middle of the day [...]
More from Maine
This first image is perhaps my favorite of the summer. I love the way the light hits the window of the lobster boat heading out to fish at sunrise.
I may have a few more shots to add once I finish going through them all, but here are a few from the last two days of [...]
Portland Head Light
I’ll (hopefully) be blogging a lot this week, as Portland’s pretty photogenic. I got up this morning at 4:45 to head out, and by the time I realized it was raining sideways I was committed – no chance I was going back to bed sans photos after I’d already left the parking garage.
The above image [...]
I’ve never shot film but…
Never having shot film didn’t stop me from playing with the film simulator presets in Nik Software’s Silver Efex Pro. We’re in Maine, after a short trip from Bowie (9.5 hours, 8:15 a.m. arrival), I went for a ride to Portland Head Light and Cape Elizabeth.
The overcast skies made for some great black and white [...]
Last Visit to Sandy Point
Tomorrow we head to Akron, so I got up at 4:45 for one last visit to Sandy Point for sunrise. I’m not real happy with the images, especially as my favorite composition, the vertical photo, is an “almost.”
What’s an almost? A photo that looks good at first glance, but won’t print well at all (hint, [...]
My favorite two from Sandy Point
Well I was back at it this morning – 4:30 wakeup (but back in bed by 6:30). Anyway, I just finished working on these two. I’ll probably hit it up once more before we leave town.

One more From Sandy Point
Off to bed for now, more to come from today when I get to the files tomorrow.

More from the park
It’s not everyday I get to shoot both sunrise and sunset at the same location.

Sandy Point State Park
We’re in Annapolis for the All Star break. That means photos at sunrise here – at Sandy Point State Park. I’ll be going back for more – we’re here for ten days – but this is one from this morning as a taste.

Lake Massabesic Sunrise
I didn’t make it up this morning to shoot, but I did revisit a shot from the last time we were in New Hampshire and worked it up (love the new Photoshop skills). Click here if you want to see the “before” photo.

One more from yesterday
I dug up another shot from yesterday morning. Looking at this one and the black and white from yesterday makes me wish I’d taken more with the fisherman in them. Oh well. I’m going to try and head back tomorrow for one more day at the park.

Back to Presque Isle
I woke up at 4:30 a.m. today to shoot some more at Presque Isle State Park. We’re in Erie through Sunday, and it’s our last trip in, so I figured I’d try and make it back to the park once or twice. (Hopefully one more trip to come).
I think my favorite is the first one [...]
Who’s With Me?
So I know it’s only June, but I’m starting to look ahead to my fall schedule and I want to get out ahead of this and plan it now. Plan what? A trip to shoot in one of the East Coast’s (and the country’s, but the closest one to Boston) great national parks, Acadia up [...]
