Bluesy May ...

My favorite white-tailed deer doe enjoys an apple on a beautiful late April evening in the park in this selective color shot.

I’ve been blessed to photograph this doe and her fawns since 2012, and it’s a true joy to me personally and as a photographer.

Street Songs ...

“The only truth is music.”

             ~ Jack Kerouac

                 ~ 1922-1969

An accordion player shares his songs on a late November afternoon in this infrared street capture I shot in downtown historic Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

He’s chosen a spot on Main Street between Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery and the 1810 Goundie House.

Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery specializes in both emerging and established regional artists.

In the heart of downtown Bethlehem is the home
of Bethlehem’s brewer, John Sebastian Goundie. This handsome Federal-style brick house has been restored and hosts changing exhibitions that reflect Bethlehem’s fascinating history.
