Photography is such a personal thing for me – it’s really taken over. There’s just something about it that’s satisfying and calming. I actually try to avoid taking anybody with me when I’m photographing because I know it must be painfully boring for anybody who’s with me. I could explore a scene for hours and still not feel like I’ve explored all of it.
There are just so many interesting things going on in this room.
Ah, the first snowfall.
I actually got a little freaked out about not posting an image yesterday. I certainly didn’t want to get out of the habit of shooting so I’m glad it snowed because I recently posted that I wanted it to so I could get some snow pictures.
Ta-da. Of course I shot Handley.

Gonna have an image on one of those historical plaques you always see near historical monuments and buildings. Cool.
This image will be on the historical plaque outside my church in Old Town Winchester, VA.
Ever wonder what the split toning can do in Lightroom? Scroll down to see the “before” image.

Along with continuing to shoot both photos and videos and teaching a photography course at SU for the Spring semester, I’m going to look back at some of the images I created before I really knew what I was doing. I might revisit the edit or I might just post as-is because I’m satisfied with what I already accomplished. I’ll start with an easy one (best way, right?). I’m pretty happy how this turned out – not just in the design, but because I can now say I shot Africa’s Big 5!
I’m no hunter so my African safari consisted of a 2-week long photo shoot. Our guides were probably more excited than we were that we got to see Africa’s Big 5. | Order a print of this image.
It’s such a habit now after an entire year. I have a feeling that I’m just going to find myself shooting daily and sitting at the computer writing my one-a-day. I suppose that was the entire point in the first place – to get in the habit of shooting more. I was talking with some people today about what I might do next. How about a “Where’s Waldo” theme?
