Favorite Vermont Images of 2021
It’s hard to believe 2021 is quickly coming to a close and we’ve been living with the pandemic for nearly two years. For some reason I didn’t do an end of the year “Best Of” post in 2020. I’m not really sure why I didn’t do one last year because as I look back...
Best Landscape Photographs of 2019
Wow, and just like that not only is another year offically in the books but we've also crossed the threshold of yet another decade. For me, it will offically become the 3rd decade that I've been pursuing my passion for landscape photography. 25 years ago I began my...
5 Tips for Improving Your Winter Photography

5 Tips for Better Stream & Waterfall Photographs
I’m naturally drawn to water as a photographic subject. In fact, if forced to choose only one subject to shoot for the remainder of my days I’d be hard pressed to find something I’d rather shoot. Perhaps it’s the fly fisherman in me or perhaps the peace and calm...
Exacerbated Pixels: 5 Tips for Avoiding Them

2018 Images, A Year in Review
Holy cow!! I can hardly believe that 2018 has already come and gone! And just like that I'm realizing that my last post was from almost exactly one year ago; the 2017 year in review of my favorite images. To say I've been a bit remiss in posting to the blog would be...
Color is in the Eye of the Beholder
So, I’ve got this friend… No, really I do! He’s real, not just made up. Anyway, we’ve been shooting together for a long time, routinely critique each other’s comps in the field, and email images back and forth for feedback or just to brag a little. Lately I’ve...
Best Images of 2017
Happy New Year! I can hardly believe it's already 2018. I was hoping to get this post out before the end of the year but alas the holidays took over and you know what they say about the road to hell being paved with good intentions... Oh well, enough self...

Best of from 2016
Well, I have to admit, it's been a really really long time since I've updated the blog. It's also been a couple of years since I've compiled a collection of my favorite images from the previous calendar year. The past few years have honestly been a...
Selective Blending
To blend, or not to blend: that is the question: or at least it’s a question that I get asked regularly by many curious photographers and workshop students. Another question that runs in the same vein as this one goes like this; “Is this HDR?” Well here’s my answer,...
Patagonia and the Sony A7R
Like many Canon shooters I’ve been long awaiting a new higher resolution, full frame camera body. Last fall, I could almost wait no longer and briefly considered making the switch to the Nikon d810. I held off making any bold moves until this winter when the...
