Edward Weston was one of the first fine art photographers that inspired me when I began taking black and white landscape photos a dozen years ago. His need for, and mastery of, precise, orderly composition and his acute awareness of the range of nature’s tones are things I strive for in my work as well. [...]

Winter in Acadia
Posted in landscape on March 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I love being in incredibly beautiful places where it feels like I’m the only one present. This past weekend I found out that Acadia National Park in the winter more than satisfies this desire. The town of Bar Harbor itself feels post-apocalyptic. Shops and motels are boarded up; the handful of businesses that are open [...]

So here’s what minus 11 looked like this morning in Cape Elizabeth for those of you who stayed inside next to the woodstove, or who are in warm, sunny places (bunch of wimps, all of you!). Call me crazy, but I do get a little excited about subzero days. This is mostly, ok, ONLY because of [...]
Be Prepared

One of the great things about being self-employed is setting your own schedule. Knowing I had two shoots this weekend, I decided it would be acceptable if I cut out early today and take the increasingly bored dog down to the beach for a late afternoon romp. And I brought a camera. I don’t do [...]
