TRAVELING WITH YOUR CAMERA GEAR - 1
It looks like we all may soon be able to travel again soon! With that in mind Nicole and I thought we would share a recent interview we did for a travel site. We were asked about our strategies for packing our gear. Since this is something we are regularly asked about we thought we…

Ah! Newfoundland. This island is affectionately known by locals as “the rock”.

So, we were all very disappointed…
Photographing Loons – A Visit with some old Friends - 1

Chance favors the prepared mind - 1
This is one of my favorite images from a recent trip to Tanzania. Shots like this don’t “just happen” well… sometimes they do, but more often than not they are anticipated and planned for.
