Waterfalls of the World

Waterfalls are a popular subject with photographers and I've taken lots of photos of them myself. The great thing about waterfalls is that you can find them anywhere, I've taken photos of our local waterfalls like Blue Hen Falls and Brandywine Falls, and the waterfalls of Hocking Hills and I've also taken photos of waterfalls in Michigan, West Virginia and Canada.

The Adventures of My Shadow

Well everyone who knows me knows I like to have fun on photo shoots, I'm always taking dumb self portraits or photos of my shadow.

I recently tried a new feature on Smugmug called Smart Galleries and created a new gallery called "Shadows"

Punderson Sled Dog Races and Exploring Cleveland in the Wintertime

On Saturday January 9th I experienced my first sled dog race at Punderson State Park, it was a fun event to photograph, the dogs really get excited about racing and are eager to pull the sleds around the track. It's a great photo op and I'm planning on going back next year.

Then on Sunday, Dona and I decided to explore Cleveland in the Winter, first we headed down to Wendy Park and the Old Coast Guard Station on Whiskey Island, then we got some photos from the upper level of Edgewater Park, and finally we got some photos from the Flats. Here's a slide show of my Cleveland Photos....

A Cold Day at Gordon Park

A lot of photographers put their camera's away when the snow starts to fall and the temperatures drop, but I like taking photos all year long, so last Saturday Dona and I decided to brave the cold weather and head downtown to Gordon Park and photograph the gulls.

It was colder than I thought it would be and the mist from the lake froze on our camera lenses as we took photos of the gulls and the ice formations. It was a lot of fun though and well worth the trip to get some shots during Cleveland's cold winter months.

My Holiday Lights Adventure

Hi everyone, last night I enjoyed taking photos of the holiday lights in downtown Cleveland with some of my photographer friends, it was a little cold but we had a great time capturing images of the Terminal Tower from various locations in the Flats and also taking photos of the holiday lights on Public Square. The lighting on the Terminal Tower is pretty cool, the top is lit with red and green lights and the lighting changes every now and then to give the Tower a different look. Check it out if you get a chance.
