The late snow storms over the past couple of weeks allowed me to shoot the scenes that I been looking at all winter. Finally got to photograph and convert to B&W, showing the stark contrast.

St Patrick’s Day  celebrations came early in Binghamton, NY, along with “the wearing of the green,” which originally meant just to wear a shamrock on one’s clothing.  It seems now that everyone is Irish, including the “Green Men,” wearing body suits.

“St. Patrick… one of the few saints whose feast day presents the opportunity to get determinedly whacked and make a fool of oneself all under the guise of acting Irish.” -Charles M. Madigan

When shooting an assignment like the “Walk to Dine” program at the Bath Veterans Nursing Home in New York I am always on the lookout for surroundings that can add depth to a photo. A mural painted in a hallway did the trick for what otherwise could have been another drab moment.

American Red Cross’ Services to Armed Forces volunteers from the South Central New York Region spend time with the veterans each week, wheeling them to dinner, playing bingo and other activities. Check here for Volunteer Opportunities.

I was in a discussion recently with another photographer who stated that when shooting digital one doesn’t need a tripod anymore, that you can make up for it by shooting high ISO. I beg to differ. I still like holding the detail with shooting at a the lowest ISO as possible for the clearer and cleaner photo, like the dead trees with a covering of snow.

Something has to be said for those stately steel gray skies of November. Amazing how you can capture the layers in the sky being reflected on the surface of the water. This one is on the coast of Maine.

I recently finish a shoot for Haas Landscape Architects at the new trail along the Susquehanna River in Owego, NY, getting shots during the “blue hour,” the time after the sun goes below the horizon and the sky goes into that deep blue.

While I was on a paddling trip on the Susquehanna River, a fast-moving storm came in. I couldn’t pass up the chance to make pictures of the constantly changing layers of clouds.
