Chub Lake in the Adirondacks is a peaceful little lake best accessed by paddle. Separated from the West Branch Sacandaga River by 1/4 mile of dense marsh, which is challenging but doable. Just be prepared to portage occasionally.

Had great couple of weekends in Vermont and Maine recently. I really love late summer and early fall in the Northeast.

This is a kayaking video I made in 2023 at Round Lake. I didn’t post it on YouTube because the music was copyrighted. I just found a free song that I think is even better than the previous one, so it’s up on YT now. I hope you like it.

A close-up of a delicate, dried grass seed head with numerous papery, pale beige, boat-shaped spikelets on slender stems, set against a clear blue sky. In soft focus behind it are fuzzy, spherical clusters of unopened green umbels on a hairy green stalk.

I redesigned my website, trying to bring the best of my photos to the front, with complete galleries available to those who care to view them.

I'm currently working on photo essays about service work, rituals & worship, and political protests.

Your feedback is most welcome!

So…I just discovered the Nik Collection photo editing tools. This is an old photo I took with my iPhone X, off of Hwy 395 in eastern California. Edited it with Nik’s Silver Efex.

Re the previous post: believe it or not, they are not over saturated. In fact, I dialed the saturation *down* on one of them lol.

Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Upstate, NY. They were kind enough to allow me to photograph the Sunday morning Divine Liturgy. The BW edit is courtesy of my brother.
