Tulips with Kodak and Fuji, Rollei and Nikon…
So over the weekend, I took several of my film cameras – my Nikon F100, my Rolleiflex, and a Nikon EM that I borrowed for the weekend from another project – and packed each one of them with their appropriate rolls of Kodak or Fuji film. Since the tulips bloomed early this season, I knew…

The following blog post is created in memory of Thomas Warren Belcher III. It’s quiet tonight. An icy, wet quietness that envelops my mind and my soul. And here I am. Standing on the shore of Van Schaick Island in the middle of the night. My Vivitar wideangle lens is strapped onto a Nikon EM…

She’s still staring toward the salty horizon, a laurel wreath in her granite hands. Her hope is that all who sail from the sandy shores of New Hampshire return home to their families and loved ones safe and sound; and those who cannot, may they find peace and tranquility in the next world. As for…
Read MoreAtlantic Light: The Nova Scotia Sunrise
So I’m up here in beautiful Nova Scotia for the National Basketball League of Canada All-Star Weekend, and during my precious down-time moments from photographing and enjoying all the All-Star festivities, I wanted to capture a harbour sunrise. Yes, “harbour.” I’m in Canada, they don’t have “harbors” here. So it’s about 6:30 in the morning…
