New Nature and Landscape Photography: Winter Waning in Ohio
March/05/08 05:31 PM
Just added to my online galleries of
nature and landscape photographs is a series of recent images
titled "Winter Waning." These photographs were captured in
locations near Dayton, Ohio, including Sugarcreek and Hills and
Dales MetroParks and Calvary Cemetery. This series of recent work
also includes new winter landscape images captured in Hocking Hills
State Park.
The visual message that I sought to communicate with these photographs is the gradual changing of the light from winter to early spring and the small signs of color that point to the changing of the seasons.
This body of work can be viewed at both http://ohiophoto.org/NewPhotography/NewPhotography.html and http://calmphotos.com/index.php/2008/03/05/winter-waning-part-two/

A Pleasant Surprise in Ohio's Hocking Hills
October/26/07 03:47 PM
Earlier this week I traveled out to a
place I consider to be the true home of my creative spirit -
Hocking Hills, Ohio. I was asked to photograph a few portraits at
the Inn at Cedar Falls as well as do some follow-up shooting of a
massage therapist at work within the Inn’s new spa. There was also
a couple of other reasons for my early week, two-day trip. One
pertains to my upcoming move and the other was to see if all the
hot, dry days of what seemed to be the never ending summer of 2007
had completely ruined any hope for a colorful autumn in Hocking
Hills. It was the first summer that I know of whereby the streams
and waterfalls in the gorges were nearly completely dry from about
early May all the way through September. I was sure that the lack
of rain would cause most of the Maple, Oak, Dogwood and Beech trees
to simply go from green to brown.
I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.
So wrong that in fact what I discovered was one of the best autumn displays of color I’ve seen put on within the hills and hollows of Hocking County. Not only that, but the steady rainfall of this past week brought the streams and waterfalls back to glorious life, once again.
