“Consulting summer’s clock,
But half the hours remain.
I ascertain it with a shock –
I shall not look again.
The second half of joy
Is shorter than the first.
The truth I do not dare to know
I muffle with a jest.” – Emily Dickinson

This first photo is a favorite walking area of mine–a forest section of a small park located not far from my home. It’s the same trail I posted a color version of on July 8th.
I worked up this black and white version made from a slightly different angle then the color one and I like [...]

While walking the forest trail yesterday I came across this brightly colored leaf resting on a decaying tree stump. The leaf looks more like something you’d see in the autumn but here it was the first part July already wearing it’s bright colors. I didn’t see any other leaves so colored and I couldn’t identify [...]

I’ll be the first to admit sometimes I get lost in the details of the moment and lose perspective of their importance or lack of importance to the larger picture.

Patiently Waiting
It seems I’m stuck on a winter to spring transition theme. Luckily spring will soon dominate giving me new material.
This view of a hardwood forest seems still in the grip of winter but if you look closely you’ll find some signs of green beginning to make an appearance.

So, Nikon introduced a new “Big Kahuna” in it’s digital SLR camera lineup, the 24.5 MP D3x. It’s specifications are impressive and after looking at released sample photos the results are impressive as well.
I’m sure there’s photographers who will put this added resolution and image fidelity to excellent use but I doubt my photos would [...]

I only made it to one of the local parks to shoot this week. I’ve shot there often before and know it presents some good photographic opportunities at certain times of the year. However, even before I went I knew this wasn’t to be one of those times.
The majority of the leaves have all fallen [...]

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who [...]
