Once more, I find myself in a humble place looking back at my photos with a critical eye. For some of us, year end is a time of reckoning when we pause to ask ourselves some tough questions. What have I accomplished in the last year? How can I improve my craft? Where should I […]
Introduction I traveled to western Greenland with friends back in July. Since Greenland is such a wild and remote place, I thought I’d write a retrospective article to relate my experience, along with plenty of pictures. The main purpose of the trip was to photograph the icebergs in Disko Bay, but I learned much about […]

I call them Portals on my website. Not the nerdy type that has to do with the Internet, but the visual kind involving pretty doors and windows. My fascination with entryways began years ago on trips to Europe. In the crowded alleys and streets of villages throughout France and Italy (to mention a few), the narrow […]

In the early years, it was a busy port with granite quarries, tide mills for sawing timber, shipbuilding, and fish canning businesses. By the 20th century, it was also attracting artists […]
NORWAY I can’t get Norway out of my head. I’ve been there four times to photograph, in addition to visiting with family members. And still, I want to revisit the region who’s people and landscape I’ve come to admire. This land of the Vikings shares a border with Sweden, Finland, and Russia, comprising the western part […]

As the capital city of Massachusetts, it’s the most populated city in both Massachusetts and in all of New England. It’s also one of the oldest cities in the country, founded in 1630 by those strict Puritan settlers […]
Introduction I had been out to photograph the Canadian Rockies on three prior trips, but I must admit to feeling a bit nervous about going back in the middle of winter. After all, New England is cold enough at this time of year — why in the world travel to the opposite side of North […]
Well, here we are. Another year gone by and a bunch of photos added to my archive. But, does our photography improve year-to-year, or are we doomed to rehashing old successes within our cozy comfort zone? I do think most photographers tend to stick to a fairly narrow range of subjects and techniques, but this is not necessarily a bad thing. After all, our […]
