Photographic images of various lakes and ponds, mostly in the Adirondacks of New York State, frequently using long exposures in order to render the water a muted, pastel treatment resembling water color paintings inspired by the Hudson River School and other schools of painting or making use of reflections in the water of trees, clouds or other objects.

Photos of trees using various camera blur techniques, multiple exposure, overlays or "ortons", reflections and other techniques (almost all of which are in-camera) to create impressionistic, interpretive, painterly photographs featuring trees and forests

There is something about a big sky over an open field that I find particularly compelling. Maybe it's a feeling of freedom or expansiveness. Maybe it's something else. In some respect it is, to me, another form of multidimensionality - earth and ether or space (two of the Five Elements).

Photographs of rivers, generally of intimate or close range perspective, and often featuring techniques such as slow shutter speeds, low angle refelction and other in-camera methods of creating artistic, impressionistic interpretations of rivers

These photographs are from a work in progress, that will see more postings to the site in the future. These photographs are all multiple exposure images made entirely within the camera, and not in software. They are made by taking two or more exposures of trees either reflected on the surface of a pond or in the forest with the images combined into a single digital file in the camera. In these images, after each shot is taken, the camera is moved in some way and the next shot is taken.

Black and white digital photographs of various subjects, contemplative in nature, conveying my impression of the subject before me and how it "spoke" to me. The photographs in this gallery were taken with one or more digital cameras, in color, and converted into black and white (sometimes adding "toning", in my Lightroom photographic processing software. I also do black and white photography using a collection I have put together recently of vintage film cameras. Those photographs are shown in my Black & White - Film gallery on this website.

Awakening the sound of silence. Some photographs have a way of drawing you into a state of relaxation, contemplative thought, or peace. These photos, selected from various other galleries, have that effect. Often what appeals to me in a scene or photographic subject is just that sort of feeling that it evokes in me. It is that feeling that draws me to the subject in the first place. Often, with this type of photo, before I even pull out the camera, I focus on all of the sensory aspects of what lies before me and how it makes me feel. Sometimes I even meditate at the site. Only then do I take the camera out and shoot. I think this process, and these images, come from the same places that my motivation as a yoga teacher comes from, and in the peace I find in my own meditation practice. I offer these for your quest for inner peace. Perfect for wherever you want to instill a feeling of calm - a special room in your home, a doctor's office, a yoga studio, a meditation corner, or wherever the spirit moves you.
