I could never grow tired of trips to Washington DC. As a veteran, visiting the memorials is always very special to me; particularly the Vietnam Wall, Iwo Jima and the Korean Memorial. The Vietnam Wall is set up brilliantly - ESPECIALLY at night. You begin at an ankle-height list of names and as the wall grows higher, the horizon slips out of sight, and the names become etched higher than you … [Read more...]
Rehoboth Beach, DE

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware This image was taken from the seventh story balcony at One Virginia Avenue. My great Aunt owns this ocean front condo and was kind enough to have us stay there for our Honeymoon and 1yr Anniversary. The sunrise is like no other - the waves are low and slow and the dolphins are making their way up the shore to feed for the day... A spectacular scene... Purchase this … [Read more...]

Isolation
July 7, 2011 By
Isolation: Technically, not emotionally. The act of separating the foreground subject from its background for a greater impact. Emotionally, the stems are OK because they have each other.

It was the darkest, most red sunset I think I've ever … [Read more...]

Deer – High Dynamic Range
June 27, 2011 By
Recently, my husband and I took a 2-yr Anniversary trip to the Smoky Mountains. We came across a young buck, and in the Smoky's, you can pretty much walk right up to them. As I got close, I had Jeff slam the car door from a distance - the deer looked up and froze. I hurried and took 3 differently exposed images to create an High Dynamic Range composition. Purchase this Print … [Read more...]
