Cecelia & Christian

2011-06-01T08:56:00.008-04:00

Memorial Day was a real memory for this lovely couple. They wanted a photo shoot done at Battery Park, but an unwanted guest of 98 degree weather made things difficult for all. All in all everything went well. Many noise powdering, lipstick add ons, and two wonderful photogenic models made the day a sucess. Take a peek.

A View From The Back Porch

2011-05-06T23:42:00.003-04:00

We may have been in the mountains for a week but we were not suffering from a bad view. This is the view we arose to every morning. Not to shabby.

A day in the life of a cave dweller

2011-05-06T23:17:00.010-04:00

Vacation allows for unusual things to do. Cave dwelling is not that far fetched for the two of us to do. We took a day and went traveling on foot 580 + feet under ground through some beautiful stalagtites and stalagmites in Pa. Have a nice trip. It may not be the journey to the center of the earth, but it was still sweet.click here

GONE FISHIN!!!!!

2011-04-21T20:51:00.003-04:00

It is the first day of my vacation and I grabbed my fishing pole and the camera and had a ball. If the rest of my vacation goes as this day did Look out it is going to be a blast. Check out the show these birds gave me. It was absolutely awsome.

2011-04-18T22:14:00.007-04:00

On June 16th I went fishing. While at the fishing hole I heard a chirp of a bird. Whe I looked up there was an Osprey. Over all I saw three different ospreys and eventuall two young American Bald Eagles. Fortunality I had my camera in the car.Enjoy my Pics.

HAIRSPRAY

2011-04-05T00:05:00.005-04:00

A dear friend of ours had the lead in the musical HAIRSPRAY at Cab Calloway School of the Arts. We had front row seats and I took my camera. No flash allowed. This show could have been a $100.00 a ticket Broadway show. For $10.00 I felt like was in New York. I did not believe the caliber of a group of high School kids could be so above and beyond. Whatever they put on next year I won't miss it and you shouldn't either. Here are some photos. Put your slide show on 3 seconds and prepare to sit through 400 photos. They were extremely hard to eliminate pics. CLICK HERE TO SEE

William Penn vs Newark

2010-12-14T21:54:00.004-05:00

Larry Wilder invited me to the William Penn/Newark high school basketball game today. His daughter, the lovely young lady pictured here, is a William Penn cheerleader, but I guess his pride in her didn't have anything to do with the invite. Nooooo!!! Proud fathers would not do anything like that, would they. I know I would, seeing as how my daughter was a cheerleader too!!!!We had a good time pointing camera lenses in all directions, and the pizza wasn't bad either. Enjoy the night like I did

Beth's Eagles

2010-10-24T23:04:00.003-04:00

Our 29th wedding anniversary was on October 17th and Beth and I went to Connowingo Dam were I wanted to show her the eagles I always go to Photo. We went before day break on the 18th so we could be there before the dam started to release water for making electricity. This stuns any fish coming out of the dam making it easier for the eagles to catch their breakfast and makes for good photos. Enjoy our day with us. Click here.

CANAL FEST DELAWARE CITY

2010-09-18T19:49:00.003-04:00

BECOMING SELF-TAUGHT

2010-09-10T20:15:00.002-04:00

I am working on a new project, and I am including all of you. I just built a portable photo blind. So far all of my wildlife photos have been done by stalking my models, (don't take that the wrong way now). I am only dangerous to myself!!!!! If you notice these photos are not the best. If you follow me through my trials and labors, lets see how well I improve. If you have any hints let me know. Today, the light was poor and I had to slow my shutter speed down to 1/80 and open my f-stop to 6.3. I should have also had my 500mm lens instead of my 300mm. Stay tuned for future photos.

THE MIGHT DUCKS

2010-09-03T21:20:00.002-04:00

On 9/1/2010 I had some spare time, that alone would give a strong man a heart attach, but it was true. Spare time!!!!AHHH Went to Becks Pond because the gas gauge was low. Got lucky or God said you don't need to go far. God gave me a good day. I hope you have as good a blessing seeing these pics as I did taking them.Click here and enjoys Gods beautiful world.

HERE'S LOOKIN AT YA KID

2010-08-26T20:18:00.008-04:00

Today was the first day i took the camera out in about a month. It was worth the wait. Today was a stollen free day. I went fishing in the morning and caught five fish that were over 20 inches in length and one was a little over 25 inches long, even without having to step on him to make it over 25". An old fishermans saying, If it's not quite legal step on it. The rest of the day is in pictures. The only bad part of the day was when I stepped into a hidden chuck hole on the path and fell flat on my face. Thank goodness the camera was on a tripod and it stayed upright.Click here to see Photos.

Delaware City Fireworks

2010-07-25T00:03:00.004-04:00

There are a lot more photos here than I usually put up, but they were dificult to pick out which ones were to be removed to make it shorter. I hope you don't fall asleep while watching. It would make me feel bad. Enjoy the fireworks!!! Click here.

Middletown Carnival

2010-07-24T22:53:00.008-04:00

Friday afternoon, Larry Wilder and I went to Middletown to take in a carnival and test our photo skills on moving objects going a little slower than when we went to the Monster Mile earlier in the year. We also wanted to take some really cool time exposures at night. I also desided to experiment and only go on manual. When I wanted to take a shot I tested the F stop and shutter speed, deleated the junk test photos and did perty good for a change. This photo is for my lovely wife Beth, because she is a pop corn lover for snacks instead of candy. I hope you enjoy the photos as I did taking them. Click here to see more.

Summit Aviation Photo Shoot

2010-07-10T23:01:00.004-04:00

On Wendsday evening I was shooting photos of a wonderful model by the name of Tracy. You could have fulled me that she had never modeled before. She took to it like a duck to water. It was a pleasure to meet her husband and work with Larry Wilder, who originally was the one who invited me to come along and work with him. We also had the good fortune of shooting photos of vintage airplaned from the 50's and where allowed to include them in Tracys' shoot. Check out the wonderful photos of the evening. Click here.

Tommy the turtle had a good time today

2010-06-10T16:56:00.004-04:00

It was over cast this morning, but Beth worked all night and needed some sleep, so I took a drive to Bombay Hook Federal Game Reserve. The day became better as it went along. The sun came out. The only problem was the green head flys were large enough for small children to saddle up and ride on them. They pack a mean bite as well. If you go down do not forget the bug spray or you won't even be able to get out of the car. I saw birds today that I have never seen down there before. Take a look at my day and enjoy. By the way tommy the turtle was Tommacena. She was digging a nest to lay her eggs. Click here to see photos.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER

2010-06-06T15:59:00.005-04:00

An hour at Becks Pond gave me some beautiful shots of some of the bird life living on and near the pond. Enjoy the shots and know that none of these birds made it to my dinner table. Click here

OUR TIME IN THE MOUNTAINS

2010-05-18T20:00:00.005-04:00

Treasure Lake is where we have a time share. This is in Elk County, north central Pa. The three of us had a good time, even with the evening thunder storms. Take a look at some of the photos the three of us took. I am going to do this in three parts, because the slide show will be too long. When ready Click here.

THE MONSTER MILE

2010-05-17T12:24:00.007-04:00

At 5:30 AM I picked up Larry Wilder and by 6:00 AM we were there. It was a good thing to. Other people were already there, had their tents up, grills going, and their individual beverages were being consumed. ACH!!! At 6:00AM, Not for me. So where were we? THE MONSTER MILE!!! Dover International Speedway, for the Sprint car Race on Sunday the 16th. Everything went perfect from beginning to end. The weather, the people, the parking spot was only 3 gates away from where we sat. The seats 30 rows up directly in front of the exit of pit row. Awsome seats. To see the experiences of our day Click here.

GOOSEY GOOSEY GANDER

2010-03-02T21:18:00.006-05:00

On March 1st I headed off to Bombay Hook Game Reserve, near Smyrna. It was very windy, and it seemed that only the vultures were enjoying the ride on the thermal updrafts. Neer the Woodland Beach turnoff on Route 9, I came across a huge flock of Snow Geese. I slowed down my shutter speed to show wing movement, however, in doing so the geese themselves were not as crisp in appearence as I would have liked. I did have one bird stay perfectly still for me. I will leave you guessing at this point. Enjoy the windy day. Click here.

Our Tax Dollars At Work???? NOT!!!

2010-02-09T22:45:00.017-05:00

During the storm I went out to take some pictures. Big mistake!!! The pictures came out ok but within fifteen minutes my shutter finger didn't know when it was touching the shutter button. It took me almost 20 minutes to get the feeling back. The day after the record big snow I actually had to go into work. The price you pay for working at a pharmacy. So instead of driving to work on time, I left early and took some photos. Enjoy the winter weather without getting cold. Have a cup of tea for me, please.Click here, then on snowfeb photo and then slideshow.

TIRED OF ALL THE SNOW

2010-02-08T19:54:00.010-05:00

On a beautiful day, with the sun shining, it was anything but warm. With the temp below freezing and two days after the blizzard that a lot of people would like to forget, it was a wonderful day to get rid of the clostraphobia, grab the camera and drive. I went south down route 9 and found Bombay Hook closed. I still got some good photos any ways. Take a peek at my day, but beware. Watch out for the snow blindness!!!

When 42 degrees is WARM?????

2010-01-14T17:29:00.013-05:00

Today was 42 degrees and it felt like short sheeve weather. So I was out in short sleeves. Lumns Pond had ice on it thick enough to walk on, but I was not about to try it. Take a look at the beautiful January 2010 day.

Christmas Eve at Cornerstone Church is an all day affair. Live animals for the children to a live nativity is an annual look forward to. Three services directed especially for the children and three services for the adults makes for a long day. But when it is all about our savior the long day is nothing compared to what he did for us.

Snow Emergency! What Is That?????

2009-12-21T18:25:00.004-05:00

A lovely night to see Christmas Lights. Who would know what the next 24 hours was to bring to the Southern Bear, Delaware area. A snow storm, that was a hum-dinger, was on its way. With a guy that was raised in the Western hills of Pa. behind the wheel, and no idea that a state of emergency was in affect, a Honda Element, armed with a camera ventured out where it shouldn't have gone. I wasn't the only nut case that was out at such a stupid time. Take a peek at what it was like out there while you were cuddled up in your Snuggie, a hot totty in one hand and the remote in the other. Or maybe, if you were lucky, your lovely better half was curled up at your side keeping warm to. Click here to Enjoy the snow , some smart folks getting out while the getting was good and a few extra shots of my laid-back kitty's with more sense than me.

Global Warming My Eye

2009-12-21T17:51:00.002-05:00

I don't want to here Al Gore talk about global warming any more. Maybe Climatic Relocation Shifts, if there is such a term. My wife just came back from Oswago, NY, from an early family Christmas and they didn't even have snow. Only an hour away from the Great Lakes, IN DECEMBER!!!!! And what does Delaware get but 16 plus inches of snow and a called State Of Emergency, from one storm. Unheard of!!!! After church was cancelled and I was left in the Parking lot by myself, because I didn't get the message I smelled a PHOTO OP!!!! Here are some pictures of Lums Pond painted in a far different color than normal, as well as a few shots of Delaware City, De. Click here to see the photos. PS HAVE A VERY BLESSED CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

Falls Colors

2009-11-16T17:57:00.005-05:00

I decided it was too nice to stay in today so I grabbed the camera and went out to find some pics. I got some of the remaining leaves on digital as well as my boat, which is on sale by the way. Beth said that If I wanted to get a new camera, I needed to make some sacrificies. So the boat is looking for a new home and I am looking for a Sony 380 plus a 200-500 MM Tamron lens that is sitting in Ritz camera calling my name. Here are some of todays photos.click here
