Deer at Dusk

With few predators around any more except for man and his automobile, deer are pretty frequent sights on my walks and jogs. This deer I surprised while feeding on the edge of the woods as I came around the path. We stared at each other for several moments before he darted off into the woods.

The Eagle at Sunset

Looking south towards New Hartford near the Justice Rathbone-Knights of Pythias Memorial




With a commanding view of the valley, the Thomas Proctor Memorial better known as the "Eagle" is a great spot to take in the 4 seasons and the beautiful view of Utica below. I prefer going there when there is no auto traffic and often hike up or to enjoy a jog or XC ski adventure

I smelled my old car today....

Most of us Americans can fondly remember a special car in our lives. Cars are often symbols of growing up and escape and freedom.Or maybe sexiness or machismo. They may remind us of good times, or special people and places in our lives. I smelled my old car today.... so my latest series will be a selection of old car images inspired by the musty and historical smell in my 69 Mustang and the "ride" down memory lane I get every time I sit in it.

Autumn and Young Dreams...

I wanted to do autumn portraits of my kids that captured their personalities as well as to lock in on this special and youthful moment in time for them. I enjoyed immensely taking these special photos and picked out two of my favorites to share.
