The other day I was messing around with some data recovery software and I wanted to test it out on some old memory cards. I found a 16gb sandisk extreme that looked worn so I let the software run and I found a selection of photographs I took when I visited Boston in 2012. I was shocked to...
I took this shot this morning while out on my walk. Its of a maple sugar house, I've photographed this a few times before but I think it's a really nice scene. I don't usually carry my camera with me on my walks but I have my phone which is a Google Pixel 8 and I'm rather impressed how well the...
Everytime I walk past this tree, he comes out and sits on this cut off branch. Its funny, so I had to go back inside and grab the only telephoto lens I had and took a picture of him...I got as close as I could physically without disturbing him.

I haven't done a proper self portrait where I actually put some effort into it. It's been a rough part of my photographic journey where I am having a difficult time finding the inspiration and motivation. Anyways the other day I thought of a cool idea for a self portrait that I haven't done by...
I've been sitting on this photo for a while. I really like it but never felt like sharing it because I was using a 35mm lens and was too far away so I had to do a fairly heavy crop. But I liked the photo overall after waiting a few months since I took it haha.
Just another photograph taken on my Holga 120N using Ilford HP5 400
About the photo, this is one of my favorite spots that I like to walk through. It's just a peaceful area with the view of the mountains, a horse farm and the wildflowers on the side of the road. It's just always makes me...
I know this may not be my best photograph and that's okay. It has meaning to me even though it may look like a random photo, the reason it has meaning is that that day when I was photographing, I was having a very bad day and I kept thinking about the past and present.
i know it's nothing great...
I'm not a huge fan of adding lens blur to photos, I prefer to do it with a lens haha but I suppose in some cases it can work quite well if done properly.
But I'll be honest, it feels wrong to me. However, I don't feel the need to use this feature on my main cameras but with my smartphone that...
I know it's not a good photo but I thought it was interesting to see the root system of this tree that's been exposed due to years of washouts from storms.

Don't get me wrong, colours are great, but to me there just is something special in the graphic power of a B&W Fine Art landscape. Here two Dolomites landscape with human elements in them:
Hasselblad X1D II, Voigtlander Super-Wide Heliar 15mm. 181 sec.
Leica SL, Super-Vario-Elmar-SL 16-35mm...
For me Elephants make the perfect monochrome subject. The texture of their skin the color almost a perfect 18% grey. Cropped this to square to put more emphasis on the the young one.

Black and white photography is known to give a lot of depth on any subject. The reason why many images from the 60’s era still stay in our minds is only because of its intensity and this directly translates to ‘Monochrome = Memory Retention’.
Especially Bharatanatyam that involves...

I haven't taken a self portrait depicting emotion in quite some time. I thought this would be something different than my typical photos.
I wanted to create a series of photos that represents sort of how I feel lately as I struggle with depression and the negative side effects of being addicted...
That's right. This photo has tons of noise in it but for some reason I really liked it. Others don't and that's fine but I almost deleted it because I knew others woulden't like it but why should I care what others think if I like it?
I just wanted to share it :D
It's kind of abstract, I...
I've been digging through my archives lately and I found this photo I took at our local fair back in 2012 and for some reason, I never deleted it. There must've been a reason why I kept. The orginal edit I did was horrible and never shared it. No idea what I was thinking!
After looking at it, I...
I sat on this photo for a LONG time. I took it at a car show and there was a lot of background distractions and I didn't know what to do. After forgetting about it for a while, I came back to it and did this.

I debated where I should share this photo but I ultimately decided to place it in the b&w gallery because when I took this shot I deliberately wanted it to be in black & white.
I was walking about and noticed this tiny big chilling out on top of one of these leafs from a blooming tree and for...
Yeah yeah I know...I take lots of pictures of my cat lol.
But I really liked this one because of his reflection in the granite. Not saying it's the best shot in the world but I thought it was at least worthy of sharing!

Lately when going to car shows I pretty much stopped taking pictures of cars because it gets so repetitive so instead of being a photographer, I become a car enthusiast which I also am and I check out other peoples rides and talk shop, which luckily is kind of improving my speech impediment...
I wasn't sure where to post this one because it's a landscape, but also black & white. But I figured the main genre of this photo is landscape..so I think it out ranks black & white. If not, you are welcome to move it.
I took this photo from a covered bridge over the Ammonoosuc River between...
I don't live in a city with huge tall skyscrapers but even in a small town or city here in Vermont, there are ways to get some sort of a city architecture type shot.

I spent quite a bit of time on this photo going back and forth with processing. I uploaded a subtle color version to Instagram and for some reason I didn't like it. It felt like it wasn't "me". So I slept on it and when I looked at it this morning, I really felt a dramatic black and white was...
Monochrome is never an old technology or facet of Photography, Black & White photography strides to in-depth Detailing and Aesthetic values.
Every bit of these photograph speak volumes of stories without colours in it, the attention to details is what highlights them. Colour Psychology says...
