I’ve been planning this photography trip for 7 years – ever since the last eclipse in 2017, where I photographed ~85-90% coverage in Pennsylvania. While my photos didn’t turn out quite as well as I’d hoped, it was still an amazing experience and a lot of fun! I’m also including a few photos (including some […]
Fourth of July / 2021
So it’s been a long pandemic-y year, and while I am grateful for the ability to protect others by taking care on how I approach the world, it’s also nice that things are slowly being able to return to normal. I haven’t done a lot of photography over the last year – so this is […]
Super Blood Wolf Moon Eclipse / January 2019
So in this new year, we had a conflux of events – a Super Moon, a Blood Moon (eclipse) and a Wolf Moon…. along with sub-zero temps and a massive wind chill (to the tune of -17 degrees!). I managed to get some photos of the eclipse, although they’re not quite as good as I […]
Hopewell Rocks / 2018
In July / August of 2018, my sister and some cousins decided to go tour around Nova Scotia / New Brunswick. Here are some photos from part of that trip – the famous Hopewell Rocks! The shore is so shallow that the water comes in and goes out very fast – to the tune of […]
Solar Eclipse / 2017
So one of the big events of 2017 is that a total solar eclipse passed right over the entire USA – albeit only a thin sliver of the middle of the country actually experienced the totality of the eclipse. I considered traveling to one of those zones, but it just wasn’t feasible right now – […]
Fourth of July / 2017
Fourth of July once again! This year, I’ve decided that the theme is “night flowers” and “close ups”. Here are my favorite photos from the East Petersburg fireworks. In particular, check out the last few photos, which to my eye look like an astrophotography (shots of stars and galaxies)… but it’s not!
Fourth of July / 2016
Another year, another 4th of July celebration – and the photos to go with it! This year, I didn’t put as much effort into it, as I was both more relaxed, and the fireworks show I attended was a little spur of the moment. I tried getting a few “close-up” shots this year, just to […]
November Sunset / 2015
Bethany Beach / 2015 – Second Sunrise
The final morning of our time in Bethany Beach, my 2nd niece decided she would like to see and photograph a sunrise as well – so I took her out to see another beautiful start of a day! We even happened upon a special guest (Mr. Horseshoe Crab), who joined us for the whole sunrise (well, […]
Bethany Beach / August 2015
The family spent a week in Bethany Beach, DE – we had a wonderful time! Here are some photos from our time there. My favorite, by far, is the pre-sunrise photo that clearly shows the stars of the constellation Orion (you can see his 3 belt stars very clearly). My goal was actually to photograph […]
Iceland / 2015 – Day 4: Blue Lagoon
On our final day in Iceland, we had an afternoon flight out – so we spent the entire morning + some of the afternoon living a decadent life of luxury, and soaking away our worries and stress in the Blue Lagoon. It’s pretty swanky – you can buy drinks from within the Lagoon itself (the have […]
Iceland / 2015 – Day 3: Black Sand Beach
Day 3, we took a 14+ hour tour called “South Coast and Glacier Lagoon”, which covered many notable locations along the south coast of Iceland – including 2 famous waterfalls (Seljalandsfoss and Skógafoss), the Glacier Lagoon, and something Rachel specifically requested: a black sand beach. I’m going to split up the photos from this tour, […]

Iceland / 2015 – Day 2: Pompeii of the North (Vestmannaeyjar Islands)
On our 2nd day, we took a long trip down south to the Vestmannaeyjar Islands, or “Westman Islands” as it translates in English. This is a small volcanic archipelago off the south coast of Iceland that came to international attention in 1973 when Icelanders battled to prevent lava from the volcano Mt. Eldfell from completely blocking the […]
Iceland / 2015 – Day 1: Reykjavík
So I went with my sister to Iceland this year for her birthday (her request was to see something amazing and eat something amazing – and we pulled it off!). This is one in a series of photo galleries from this trip. We arrived around 11pm (Iceland time / +4 UTC – which is around 7pm […]
Iceland / 2015 – Day 1: Into the Volcano
So I went with my sister to Iceland this year for her birthday (her request was to see something amazing and eat something amazing – and we pulled it off!). This is one in a series of photo galleries from this trip. First up is a trip INTO the heart (magma) chamber of a dormant – […]
Fourth of July / 2014
Here are some of my photos of the 4th of July fireworks this year (2014). I continue to enjoy capturing these photos – they’re all so unique!
Fourth of July / 2013
As I get more serious about photography as my hobby, I’m trying to master various types of photography. First up is fireworks! I read up on some of the tips and tricks for good fireworks photos, and here are the results of my first attempt – I hope you enjoy. These fireworks are from […]
Alaska / 2013
My sister and I took our parents on a cruise to Alaska, and had an incredible time! Whales, eagles, owls, bears, moose, panning for gold, climbing glaciers – and much much more… even reindeer!
