A Dog’s Motivation or Lack There Of
This morning I settled down bright and early with my “Life Is Good” coffee cup and one of my favorite acoustic guitars (Alvarez Parlor) and started practicing some covers. As I finished up ‘Brown Eyed Girl’, I looked over to see the epitome of chill in my dog. I...

Songbird: New Song Release

Photography – Behind the Lens
Something’s Are Beyond Our Control or Are They?
Sitting here on a cold morning trying to wrap my head around things. Sometimes feeling helpless and powerless about things as I look into the future of the environment, human rights, and health. I am listening to songs that I have written in the past 2 years and...
Beautiful Lines of Nature
On a hike at Grand Teton National Park, I stopped for a drink of water and couldn’t avoid the shimmering light and delicate soft lines. I really wanted to capture this, which was a challenge with the busy background. Nature has a way of sneaking up on you like this.
Photography and Songwriting: A Perfect Match
Mixing Photography and Songwriting When I started this blog over a decade ago (yikes), it was strictly for sharing my photographs and inspiring stories. It even grew to the point where I was selling prints and participating in some local shows (nothing fancy, but...

Flowers and Focal Points
Enjoying my new camera, I experimented with the focal point feature. With multiple focal points I tried to get a middle focus or somewhere in-between. Notice one little bud off to the right is more in focus than the foreground and flowers behind. To me, the eye...

The Dancing Rose
Rose Gray Scale Gives a Dancing Feel In this photograph I was looking to transform a rather dull colored photo of rose into something that conveys movement while setting a melancholy mood. This is a photograph of a red rose. Something so beautiful that requires so...
Silhouettes in the Night
Honestly I don't which I loved more...my sons coming out with me to explore the vast sky or the challenge to capture the sky and the beauty that seemed endless. Arches National Park is now a registered Dark Sky Park, which to my surprise I realized last week when I...
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Sunrise
A rare opportunity to view the Chesapeake Bay Bridge from the balcony of our room from our Carnival Cruise returning from the Bahamas. It was one of the most beautiful sites I have seen (except for the blue waters and white sands of the Caribbean-another post). I used...
When Moose Mocks
When you go on a hike with the name Moose in it and find out the Moose are hanging out at the public beach area instead. We had never seen a moose this close. Having done our fair share of moose hunting in Maine and Eastern Canada we got a double whammy to be...
