Two weekends ago — indeed, only hours after photographing the Rose Hill sunset — I was on the road, heading to the last hike of this season: Grayson Highlands and the Mount Rogers National Recreation Area, both part of the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests. My guide, as always on trips such as these, [...]

Went for a photostroll this past Sunday with John Cantwell, enjoying a beautiful evening and some gorgeous golden light. We wandered from downtown to Riverside, at the top of the a nearby hill, covering all sorts of different territory. Starting with the Macon Transport Authority’s new pride and joy: New Bus Terminal (at Sunday Sunset) [...]

Please note: After eight months stuck working on the house, I got on the road. In other words, I’ve got three months’ worth of photography trips to post — and will do just that over the next few weeks. Thanks for checking back. Sapelo is one of my favorite places on Earth. My good friends [...]

Updated. One of the other Maine posts has been updated, too — please continue to scroll down. Thanks. Taking a break from photography tonight; tropical storm Hanna is also visiting Maine this weekend, and I’m stuck indoors. Which means an opportunity to sort through the more than seventeen hundred shots taken so far. (Damn, that’s [...]

The happy couple: Miles and Trish (Enjoying their Cocktail Hour) Couldn’t stay the duration, alas, and can only look at a few of the photographs from tonight before getting back [...]

Remarkable. More: The first four-star images in, [...]

Have been working back through photographs, and wanted to post the rest of these photographs on the road to catching up back gallery posts. Especially love this photo of Trish: Moment of Contemplation Beautiful moment from a beautiful woman, perhaps thinking about some more beautiful things in her life. Glad to have caught it — [...]

Miles has given me permission to display this photo: My favorite candid portrait in a long while. Thanks, Miles. From our New Year’s Eve get-together, which meant that, until now, it’s lived in the “invite-only” section. I’ve rearranged the galleries slightly such that it’s not behind a password. Enjoy.
