“I cannot endure to waste anything so precious as autumnal sunshine by staying in the house.” -Nathaniel Hawthorne
A massive snowstorm is predicted for this evening. That’s the perfect time to edit an old photo of autumn, yeah?
Now pass me that pumpkin spice latte! 🤪
The Pillars :: New Hampshire
When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate, I shall be content with silence. -Ansel Adams
New Hampshire is a such a beautiful state. This fall, we will be taking some students up into the White Mountain area for a one day workshop. If that’s something you’d be interested in, sign up for our newsletter so we can keep you informed. Announcement should be coming in the next month or so. 🙂
If you think a private lesson is more your speed, contact us and we can put together a lesson plan tailored to your needs.
And finally…for those of you on Instagram, we have a new project we have started meant to help people meet other great pphotographers, chat, and grow a sense of community among our awesome supporters and friends. If you’re on IG, please give @i_took_a_photo a follow. If you want your own images shared, tag them #w_my_camera. 🙂
See what we did there? @i_took_a_photo #w_my_camera ….. Heh. Heh.
Hilarious.
Xoxo!

Over The Rainbow :: New Hampshire
In May, I put together a post about the art of blur. I firmly believe that photography, just like any other artistic medium, is an outlet for our creativity and expression.  To that end, today, I give you Artsy Nature.  Or Fine Art Birches.  Or, Dang Get That Girl A Tripod Trees. 🙂
David Pasillas and I spent the weekend in NH working on a super secret project, practicing our photo skills, scouting the region for beautiful picture worthy stuff, and generally getting our creative on. Â Because creativity is important to our lives, right? Â There will be many more photos coming in the next few weeks of the foliage, the views, and eventually a big reveal on our super secret project! Â (Intrigued? Â You should be.)
In the meantime, enjoy the birches.  Thanks so much for checking out my site, if you enjoy the art, please share it! 🙂

Drink the Wild Air
“Live in the sunshine, swim the sea, drink the wild air…” -Ralph Waldo Emerson
Last Saturday, we spent the day hiking around upper Vermont.  Sometimes, you just need to spend some time in nature to recharge the internal batteries, to let go of the stress of our everyday lives and to appreciate something bigger than our daily routines and worries.
If you haven’t made time for Mama Nature lately…well…what are you waiting for? Â Get outside! Â Trees need love too.
This is a photo from Smuggler’s Notch in Vermont.
13 mm, f/5, 1/50th sec, ISO 100 – edited with a combination of light painting and HDR.
Looking for other bloggers, book reviewers (if you can read, you're in!) and photographers who want to join forces to save the world! (Or something like that.)
