Biography

A while ago I gave myself the goal of visiting all of the national parks in the NPS system- a goal I share with my wife (which makes things much easier!). It was on our first big parks trip that I found that photography was to become more than a casual hobby for me.

Now we're nearing the halfway mark on our list and I'm excited to be able to share our experiences with everyone.

3 things you should have in your photographer's bag:

  • Lens cleaning equipment
  • Tripod (or GorillaPod)
  • Extra memory cards

Top 3 parks everyone should visit:

  • Yosemite
  • Glacier
  • Bryce

Top 3 parks I've visited but didn't even know existed before starting my parks quest:

  • Conyonlands
  • Cuyahoga
  • Congaree

As winter fast approaches (or has already hit you if you are from South Dakota and other points snowy) people often start to look at buying cameras. Not coincidentally just about every major camera manufacturer released a raft of new models this fall.

Capturing Fall's Splendor in the National Park System

A few years ago we decided to brave the throngs of visitors and see Virginia’s fall display in Shenandoah National Park (where, ironically, the highest visitation month is October!) and drive the famed Skyline Drive. With the colors at their peak around our home in Pennsylvania, we figured that Shenandoah's forests would be nearing their peak as well.
