Snow has come early this year. Soon we’ll see it in Maryland. I have two new puppies who will see it for the first time. I couldn’t ask for something more fun to photograph.

One of the best downhills I have ever ridden, Bunker Creek Utah. 12 miles of downhill from 11,300′ to about 3,000′. I wish this election happened as fast as that ride. I think the people have had their minds made up for months. The important thing I try to remember is that at least we can vote when more than half the world can’t. It says more to the governments that don’t…..

The Battle of  Antietam, or The Battle of Sharpsburg as the southerners call it, gives this creek a very heavy feeling when you’ve spent as much time as I have near it. Tubing, camping, night mountain biking, night canoeing and wading much of it all the while photographing. I’ve spent over 20 years getting to know the light there.  

It rained an hour before we got there. You could ride your bike on the wet dunes without sinking in. Before I got there I kept thinking it would be such a cliche place to photograph but once you are there you cannot help shooting roll after roll…. The white kept me thinking I needed a coat. An east coast winter reaction. 

Just read in VARIETY that the major studios are gearing up for a rush of feature films. SAG strike? Hope not…

This fall day was like Colorado. The wind was pushing the low clouds faster than usual for DC. The sky was Kodachrome blue. I always have a camera with me and I lucked into this wonderful lighting.

Polaroid, my first digital/instant gratification camera. I will miss that image process. My first SX-70 camera I bought used in 1979. I still have most of the good images I shot with it.

I have always liked the way you physically mark time with seasons. I worked in LA a few times during the holidays and it didn’t feel quite real. Here on the east coast the changing leaves and film flowing through my camera speed me into the first snowstorm. I closed all of the windows in the house tonight.
