2026-08-04Hello!This must be obvious to any long-time reader, but I think that I've found a cohesive style surrounding most of the photos I publish on this website. They're spontaneous moments that I capture on photowalks, showing the outdoors through the seasons.I'm still an event photographer by trade, and I...
2026-08-03Hello!I've been trying to grow a backyard garden for over a year now. I would like to take photos of the vegetables growing and the flowers blooming behind my house, but I'm at the stage where I think it's just weeds growing...There's a reason why botanists and gardeners are paid positions. At this park, I...
2026-08-02Hello!I went on a sunset photowalk across the Delaware River again, although a different part to the lookout from a few days ago.The weather was a bit spotty, and I wasn't sure if it was going to rain down while I was outside. The storm clouds in the far distance were approaching this way, and there was...
2026-08-01Hello! It's August now.I once captured this image of a bumblebee dangling from the bottom of a flower. That photograph was from Central Park in New York City, and it was taken when I had mere days worth of camera experience, rather than the years I do now.I ought to go back to proper parks and landmarks. I...
2026-07-31Hello! I should have expected this.I'm lucky that bugs didn't transmit any diseases into me, but the summer season where I live brings itching mosquitoes and the annoying flies.The bugs even enter my house, attacking the kitchen pantry and laying eggs. I don't see them come in, so I can only assume there's...
2026-07-30Hello!This is (part of) the Delaware River. I walked downstream for an hour and got attacked by many bugs, but the view was worth it.This image was the best out of my collection from that photowalk. It's such a classic landscape photograph, with beautiful sunset colors and the horizon on the lower...
2026-07-29Hello!Similar to that one squirrel photo I took where the light fell on a good spot, this photo has the light of sunset up in the trees.I'm not happy with the exposure settings I used — the details are the technical info, for nerds at the bottom. The shutter speed didn't have to be that fast, and I could...
2026-07-28Hello!I could not get a clear view of the sunset sky. Down Main Street, all I could see at the horizon were buildings, trees, and roadsigns. And power lines.I've come around to the opinion that the power grid is the most miraculous invention or bit of infrastructure in the US. It's fragile and needs...
2026-07-27Hello!It's about that time where I need to start preparing for both the half-year Day 180 article and the landmark Day 200 article. Just my luck; I've gotten myself into unforeseen busy work that I need to clear up outside of photography and this website.That doesn't mean I won't keep rambling on this here...
2026-07-26Hello! I'm struggling with today's writing topic; despite already running late, I would have written a shorter letter if only I had a longer time to do so.I'd like to say I analyze every part of an image frame before I take the shot in camera. But my eyes rest on different parts depending on if I'm...
2026-07-25Hello! Sleepy morning.This is the Downingtown Borough Hall in Pennsylvania. I've passed by this building a couple of times on road trips, but never thought to step inside, despite it being the grandest building around in this small town.Downingtown has great views in certain spots; there's this nice river...
2026-07-24Hello! I said I would present some street photography this week, but that's not happening. Might be delayed for a short while.In the meantime: here's a bird — a titmouse — eating from my backyard bird feeder. Yes, I've filled it since then. Squirrels get to it all the time.I have my camera set up on a...
