Rejuvenating Winter
I haven’t written anything in almost a year or covered a single one of my photo adventures aside from posting to social media once in awhile. The cause, I believe, is covid pandemic fatigue which has caused me to go into a non-creative stasis. I’ve questioned my relevance in a world full of “photographers” where…

Ozark Snow
Long time no see everybody! I haven’t written in quite some time. Since the last time I did write, I’ve probably gone on half a dozen close to home travels. Enough to where I won’t get back to recap each and individual one. I also found myself taking my annual break after the holidays from…

Ozark National Scenic Riverways 3/10-3/11/2019
Last Saturday’s rains made for the perfect opportunity to get out and explore the Ozarks. The days following provided fast-flowing streams and endless amounts of waterfalls and cascades. The waterfalls in Missouri are based on wet weather and that makes it a bit more challenging. One can’t just expect to walk up to a waterfall…

Bell Mountain Wilderness 2/25/2019
Monday night was a perfect getaway. The first time I’ve been out on a photography overnight in four months—a 4.5 mile trek to the summit of Bell Mountain during sunset and into dusk, setting up camp under the clear night sky. The temps dipped allowing for a beautiful moondog and a half moon allowed for…
