I shared with you the other day two of the new designs which were just added to our collection of clergy appreciation plaques. Since then, I’ve received a few notes from folks wanting to know more about the church in which the beautiful windows are located. It’s actually one of my favorite buildings in lovely … Continued

This week we travel to the Lakes Region of New Hampshire – more or less in the middle of the state. Eaton, a small town with a population of just under 400, is home to lovely Crystal Lake, with this landmark house of worship situated on its shores. It is, aptly, known simply as “The … Continued

With the “Great American Eclipse” just two days away, I thought I’d do something a little different this week and delve into the back story behind an image that hasn’t (yet) been incorporated into one of our product designs. All this focus on the sky reminds me – once again – of how capricious Mother … Continued

This week we travel to Jackson, New Hampshire, in the heart of the White Mountains. There you’ll find the lovely waterfall pictured here. Jackson Falls is interesting in due to its horizontal orientation (as you can see, the water doesn’t fall from great heights but instead gently cascades) and because it’s located near the center … Continued

This week we travel to downtown Chicago, to one of the city’s landmark buildings: Holy Name Cathedral. Holy Name’s beginnings were not as a cathedral church, but rather as a community parish. First established in 1846 as Chapel of Holy Name, the congregation moved into a massive new building and celebrated the first mass at … Continued

This week we travel to Maine’s Acadia National Park – and to the area from which the park originated: Sieur de Monts. Created in 1916, Acadia was initially known as Sieur de Monts National Monument. In 1909, the gentleman who became the park’s first superintendent, George Dorr, built a springhouse and named the spring over … Continued

This week we travel to the Atlantic coast at Rye, New Hampshire. The last five years I lived in the Granite State, I spent many an early morning at the coast with my camera in search of interesting skies at daybreak. When the tide was low and winds were calm, I would head over to … Continued

We were in New Hampshire last week for our back story; this time we travel a few miles from where that last photo was made…..back to my house in a little town near the Seacoast. In every home I’ve owned, I have planted at least one crab apple tree. I adore them. Though they bloom … Continued

This week we travel back to my adoptive state of New Hampshire for one of my favorite wildflower images. I made this photograph about ten years ago, in a field about five miles from my house. Not long before, I’d learned a technique which enables the photographer to render flowers in an interesting way. I … Continued

We are oh-so-near the longest day of the year! The summer solstice is Tuesday, June 20th. I’m a morning person, and I like light – so the long days of summer are in my wheelhouse. That said, those really long days make photographing at the edges both in the morning and at night a wee bit exhausting! … Continued

This week we travel to Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park, with an image that was made just a few days ago. Spring comes late to the park; with an average elevation on the valley floor of 6,800 feet, cold lingers! This year, it’s a bit later still due to the significant snowfall from the winter … Continued

Sometimes you find pockets of natural spaces where you’d least expect them. This week’s image was made in one such little gem, located in far northern Illinois. The landscape has changed over the years in this area, with Chicago’s suburban sprawl extending greatly and encroaching on what was once mile after mile of farmland. Still, … Continued
