Red Steppin' ...



“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”
                    ~ Elliott Erwitt
                           ~ photographer
                                 ~born 1928
When I saw the bright pop of red on this fire escape on a late October afternoon in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania, I knew I had to capture it in a photograph!

Taking A Bite Out Of Winter ...



“It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.”
                    ~ Laura Ingalls Wilder
                              ~ 1867-1957
My favorite white-tailed deer doe takes a bite out of winter as she enjoys eating an apple on a February evening in the park.

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.

Snow Painted Boughs...

I shot this evergreen with snow painted boughs on the upper plateau of Trexler Memorial Park, Allentown, Pennsylvania in mid-March, but it reminded me of the trees seen in Christmas Town in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, my most favorite of childhood Christmas specials ... and it still is!
