Fall Daisy

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

Thanks to hurricane Sandy, there were many other photographs I had celebrating Fall but had not published. I was much more concerned with following the weather and the developments as it pummeled the east coast. One such photograph is the one included in this post – Fall Daisy. I had taken numerous photographs of this… Read more »

Jasper the Nipper

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

This post is dedicated to a friend and fellow photographer, Lynne Fordham, whose dedication to getting the story through the lens often means stepping in harms way and risking lens and limb while being ambushed by “animals.” The title of this post, Jasper the Nipper, is a horrible play on words but with good reason….

Two of a Kind

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

It is amazing sometimes to observe some of our human like qualities being reflected in other species. In the same way we care for our young, that behavior is exhibited in other species; In the same way we may groom each other, that behavior is exhibited in other species; In the same way we  cuddle… Read more »

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

I decided to take a brief moment and step away from the western theme which I had been pursuing whole heartily and post an image which I had shot on a  recent trip to the zoo with fellow photographers Lynne and Joe. We had heard that there were two new additions to the snow leopard family… Read more »

Kicking Up Dust

The atmosphere was humid, the wind was hot and numerous horses could be seen in the warm-up pen being run through their paces kicking up dust as they trotted by. That was certainly the scene visible at the New York State Fair as I visited once again to observe a horse show that was being… Read more »

Take a Bow

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

Yet another venture into studying forms which occur naturally in nature, I decided to observe the curves of fiddle-heads. I liked the very simple and clean curved structures of these young ferns and more importantly to see them juxtaposed against one another. Because of a simple gut feeling, I chose to go with a sepia… Read more »

The Folds

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

This is an oldy but a goody. I had spent quite a few days thinking through how I wanted to edit this photo. But after much observation, I decided to settle on something simple but, I think, adequate. Back on April 22, I took a trip with companion photographers Joe Inzalaco and Lynne Fordham to… Read more »

The Stare

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Discussion Topics, Photo, Photography.

Aren’t there days when you feel like this guy. Like someone ticks you off to the highest level of tick-tivity but rather than blow your top you just stare at them. The cold, long stoic stare that this lion had reminded me a lot of that emotion and I could not hesitate but capture that…. Read more »

Penguin Passion

Posted by & filed under Commentary, Photo, Photography.

By nature, penguins are curious animals. Once someone or something enters their personal space they start investigating. Children are just as curious. So what happens when two equally curious creatures meet? – a moment of excitement which I think I captured here in “Penguin Passion”. I will have to say that this young girl really… Read more »
