Bandon Beach, Oregon, USA
[the_ad id=”61716″] It is approximately 5:00 am in the middle of June, and I am on the beach in Bandon, Oregon, taking advantage of this particularly low morning tide a day after the full moon. It is just the beginning of Civil twilight, the bluest part of the morning, with about a half hour to […]
Bozeman, Gallatin County, Montana, USA
I had signed up for a wildlife shoot that took me on a road trip to the eastern edge of Gallatin County, Montana, along Brackett Creek Road to approximately Forest Service Road 974. While the wildlife shoot proved less than successful, the trip to Bozeman, the Gallatin and back through Madison County to the Big […]
Yosemite National Park, Mariposa, California, USA
A couple of years ago, a couple of photography friends and I travelled to Yosemite in early November. The trip proved to be quite successful; arriving on the 2nd, we had several days of lovely clear skies and sunshine with the fall colors. This was followed by some freezing weather and then a nice snowstorm […]
Green River Covered Bridge, Western Guilford, Vermont, USA
It’s a cold, wet day in the middle of October, and I have made my second long venture to the Green River Bridge from Woodstock, Vermont, to visit this spot. The differences between my first visit on a bright sunny day were amazing. The scene then did not work. There was too much contrast and […]
Coquille Point, Bandon, Coos County, Oregon, USA
One of the great things about Bandon, Oregon, is the various photographic opportunities one has year-round, day or night. One can be down on the beach with a closeup of the various sea stacks and rock outcroppings, or one can put themselves on top of several vantage points for some sweeping views of the area […]
Hanalei Black Pot Beach Park, Hanalei, Kuai, Hawaii, USA

My wife and I now make it a habit of spending about a week each year in Hawaii, with Kuai being one of our more favorite destinations. We typically stay on the windward side, around Princeville, […]
Bench Lake, Mt Rainier National Park, Washington State, USA
It is almost the end of August, the prime time to be at Mt Rainier National Park for wildflowers, good weather, clear nights, and all-around scenic beauty. I am with 5 friends, with all of us staying at the Paradise Lodge for several days of shooting before moving on to Mt Baker and other Washington […]
Puget Sound, Seattle, Washington, USA
Having been raised in Seattle, Washington, surrounded by water and an avid sailor, I became a fan of lighthouses early in my life, a love affair that continued throughout my adult life, and I took it upon myself to visit as many of these sentinels of the sea as possible, photograph them and learn about […]
Blue Rocks, Lunenburg Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada
[the_ad id=”61716″] With a French-Canadian background, I had always wanted to visit the Maritime Provinces of Canada and, more specifically, Nova Scotia along with Prince Edward Island. Space between two East Coast obligations provided the opportunity to book a fall trip to this part of Canada. Being a Seattleite with its own nautical background, I […]
St Peter and St Paul Church, Northleach, Cotswold, Gloucestershire, England
[the_ad id=”61716″] Is there anything drearier that an English graveyard on a gloomy, sombre afternoon? Such was this late October day in Northleach at the Church of St Peter and St Paul in the Cotswolds. My wife and I had traveled first to Stafford, Staffordshire, UK, to do her family history research. Afterwards, we moved […]
