Autumn – a time of changes, of diminishing warmth and daylight, consoles us all with its quiet beauty. Here’s a collection of fall images made over the past few weeks.

Yin and yang light in outdoor portraiture
Recently in Harper’s Ferry I found myself in a situation photographers often are confronted with: an obvious and safe lighting choice, as opposed to a much less obvious but (as it turned out) much more dramatic choice. In this case I was on the pedestrian bridge across the Potomac River with a photographer friend right… Continue reading Yin and yang light in outdoor portraiture
EZ-Find ad campaign: Everyone needs this
Okay, maybe not everyone – but a whole lotta people do. Funny how this project happened; I was talking with a friend who said she needed a beeper to find her favorite coffee mug lost somewhere in her house. I said that would be a pretty good invention and maybe we should get right on… Continue reading EZ-Find ad campaign: Everyone needs this

Nighttime at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor
A Saturday night on Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is always a treat, especially on a boat directly across the water from one of the city’s premiere music venues. Pier Six is that venue, and pier 5 is a pretty good perch to view the happenings from. Saturday night’s “Pink Floyd Experience” marked the end of the… Continue reading Nighttime at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor

There’s also respect on my part; he’s been around a lot longer than me. I think a lot of Art; I hold him in high regard and… Continue reading The artists among us
Gobsmacked by serendipity
Twice over the weekend I was confronted with unexpected, ephemeral beauty. Both times involved water, one time at rest and the other in motion, and both times I was grateful beyond words to have a camera with me. Saturday was a dismal afternoon in Maryland, with heavy rain and tornado warnings. I had to cancel… Continue reading Gobsmacked by serendipity
Twilight on the Potomac
It was a quiet Labor Day evening on the Potomac River. I expected more people; all I saw was one kayaker a great distance off and one outboard motorboat with two fishermen, who told me they’d had quite a haul. The egrets were definitely having a time of it. Watching them fish is a study… Continue reading Twilight on the Potomac
Rest in peace, Pippin
I buried my old friend Pippin last week, and now there’s this big empty spot that keeps following me around the house. It drove me to my filing cabinets where I found a negative of Pippin with his sister Sadie, taken in my studio back in their youth. At the time Sadie was my favorite of the… Continue reading Rest in peace, Pippin
