“Blogging is like work, but without coworkers thwarting you at every turn.”
Creating and maintaining a photography site—even a personal one—is surprisingly a lot of work. Things never seem to fit the page the way you want them to. You constantly find yourself rearranging text and images randomly until something "clicks," and you achieve that look you didn't know you wanted.
Canyonlands National Park, July 2022
From a photographic perspective, the Canyonlands National Park is a perfect location. But it's rather warm, and you do need an all-wheel-drive vehicle with beefy tires.
Canyonlands National Park
From a photographic perspective, the Canyonlands National Park is an absolute paradise for avid shutterbugs seeking to capture the breathtaking natural beauty that unfolds before their eyes. With its majestic canyons, towering arches, and mesmerizing rock formations, this park offers an endless array of picturesque vistas just waiting to be snapped. However, it's worth noting that venturing into this enchanting wilderness requires more than just a passion for photography. The scorching desert heat can quickly sap one's energy, making it essential to come prepared with plenty of water and sun protection. Moreover, the rugged terrain demands the use of an all-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with robust, beefy tires that can withstand challenging conditions and allow photographers to access even the most remote corners of this stunning park. So, while the Canyonlands National Park may pose certain challenges, its magnificence and photographic opportunities make it a destination worth braving the heat and ensuring you have the right wheels beneath you.

Just a few moody photos from my favorite location: the Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania.

A few (with more coming) photos of my Toyota Tacoma. I never thought I’d buy a truck, but here we are.
French Creek State Park, 2022
French Creek State Park is a eight thousand-acre Pennsylvania state park in North Coventry and Warwick Townships. This was the first camping trip of 2022 and it was still pretty cold at night.
A few photos from the April 15, 2022 camping trip to the French Creek State Park in PA. The first camping trip of the year and it was pretty cold at night.
Overland Expo East, 2021
A few photos from the October 2021 Overland Expo East at the Infinity Downs in Arrington, VA
Longwood Gardens, Autumn 2021
Whenever I am bored, I go here to take photos. I am bored a lot as I probably have a picture from Longwood Gardens for any given day of the year.

A Walk in Philly
Sometimes when I have nothing to do, I go to Philly, where I stumble from bar to bar, taking photos in between. Lots of camera shake. The shots tend to get blurrier as the day progresses—no idea why.

Promised Land, PA, Summer 2021
A camping trip to Promised Land, PA. Packing light is not my forte, and years of playing Tetris means I can fit all of that into my Jetta. And, yes, those are a doorway rug and a luggage rack for my suitcase.
A camping trip to Promised Land, PA. Packing light is not my forté, and years of playing Tetris means I can fit all of that into my Jetta. And, yes, those are a doorway rug and a luggage rack for my suitcase. The suitcase is self-explanatory: unless you're backpacking, there's no reason to deny yourself unwrinkled and neatly-folded clothes. The luggage rack brings the suitcase to the same level as the gravity chair, so you can access items without getting up. And, of course, the gravity chair is just so much more comfortable than a blow-up mattress. So there you are.
