It’s so easy it’s scary — Halloween is approaching. I have mixed feelings about it. I like the candy, of course, and watching “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”. But I could do without all those tacky Halloween yard inflatables, and all the slasher movies on TV. Still, photographically, Halloween presents a lot of possibilities. I’m…

Pun fully intended — If you know me, you know that I’m not above cheesy puns, like the one in the title above. But, if you know me, you also know that I’m a huge fan of autumn. For me, it’s a season for time travel, because I not only enjoy the present, I’m…

It’s all about the light you cannot see — When people talk about listening to jazz music, you might hear them say: “…it’s all about the notes they’re NOT playing”. Yeah, I don’t know what that means either. Jazz people are odd. But it’s an interesting notion — that is, appreciating what’s not there. What’s omitted. Naturally, like so…

I’ll tell you my opinion — Some call him the greatest songwriter of the 20th century. Given his body of work, it’s hard to argue with that. As a long-time Beatles fan, I’m certainly not going to. His astounding success, starting with the Lads from Liverpool, then with Wings, and as a solo artist, has given…

It lights up our lives (pun fully intended) — Light is complicated. Just ask a physicist. I’m referring to the nature of light — it’s a particle (photons) and it’s a wave (an electromagnetic wave, to be exact). But how can it be both? As I said — it’s complicated. But that’s not what this article is about. What…

Yes, if you photograph them just right — Art is all around us. And that’s good, because sometimes we just can’t get out of the house. That was the story during the COVID years, at least. But even now, sometimes you don’t have time to get away to some picturesque place. And, if you’re a photographer, it feels…

Capturing nature’s artwork in photographs — Anyone who has been to Bryce Canyon National Park understands the wonders of nature. Those wonders can be wonderful. We all can appreciate the beauty that nature displays in our day-to-day lives. It’s stuff we see frequently — flowers, trees, a sunrise or sunset, maybe even rivers or mountains. …

Drive safe — It’s summertime (here in the northern hemisphere), and for many folks, that means … road trip! And one of the best things about a road trip is the tunes. (I could have said “music” there, but it just sounds cooler to say tunes.) Plenty of great highway songs are perfect…

Just a friendly reminder — This is the easiest photo composition trick you’ll ever hear. It’s not even a trick — it’s too simple for that. Nor is it anything new — people do it all the time. So, given all of that, what the heck is this article even about? I’ll explain… This is Just a Reminder That’s all…
