Abstracts (1)
 I'm becoming more interested in abstracts and there's a good possibility that there will be more of these in the future.

Band in Manatawny Park 7/4/05 (6)

Biker Events and Bike Shows (52)

Birds (43)
 Shooting birds is very challenging. It takes high magnification lenses, fast shutter speeds, a solid tripod, a good deal of luck and quite a bit of patience.
Black and White (55)
 One of the things that I have found is that if you want an image to look old or antique, You should shoot with an old camera. The older glass gives the image a different look than modern ultra sharp lenses. I like to do this with Black and White. I like to use a Petri 7S for this. It's a lot of fun to play around with. It has a unique look. Especially on foggy days. This camera is my first choice to take out in snowstorms or bad weather. I also use other cameras for B&W. But, If it looks like an image from the fifties, It was probably done with the Petri and Tri-X. A few examples are: Tracks to Nowhere, Abandoned train and Buried. Available as Fine Art prints or stock images.
Blue Morning Glory photos (59)
 These images were made using Professional Slide film with the intent of using them for editorial stock. They can also be purchased as Fine Art Prints. Films used for these images were Fuji Velvia 50, Provia 100F and Kodak E100VS. The flowers that have a purpleish tone were done with E100VS. The Morning Glorys in the other categories were done using print film. Available as Fine Art prints or stock images.

Cross Cut Saw (10)
 Cross Cut Saw is a Southern Rock Band from the Virginia area. I caught their act at the Northeast Motorcycle Expo in the Valley Forge convention center 1/28/07.

Fog Photos (18)
 These are photos that were taken in heavy fog. I did some experimenting with different films and film speeds with these and also used a Tiffen 80A Blue filter on some of the photos. The films were Fuji Superia 1600 and Fuji Provia 100F. The grain from the high speed 1600 film seems to enhance the fog somewhat. The high speed film has course grain and the slower slide film has very fine grain. The real difference in the 2 films can be seen when making enlargements.
Graffiti on Trains (100)
 These are shots of Graffiti on Trains (Railroad Cars). Although I don't support vandalism of any kind, you have to admit that whether you love it or hate it, that this is a form of self expression and therefore an art form and some of these are actually pretty cool. One of the things I like about Graffiti is that it is art for arts sake. The people who did these more than likely didn't reap any rewards for what they did and didn't expect to. They did it for the shear joy of creating art or being creative. Sort of like when cave men started painting in caves.
Hand Colored Black & White (4)
 These prints are hand colored using markers. They are then scanned professionally to make reprints. Reprints do not have the blue edged borders that you see on the web site. The images that are posted on my web site are slide images of the prints themselves. I don't have a flatbed scanner. So, I had to rephotograph the prints and scan the slides. Professional reprints are available.
Ilford Pan 50 B&W (23)
 I was just experimenting with some Ilford Pan 50 black and white film. There's a Praying Mantis a Carpenter Bee and some Morning Glories. My conclusion...... Nice film. Very fine grain.

Landsdale Bike Night - 9/9/06 (31)
 Landsdale Bike Night was great! There was a good turn out of people. Also, Lots of Bikes, Vendors, Bands and great food. I was traveling light and left my flash at home. My plan was to arrive early and get some photos before dark. However, I got a late start leaving Pottstown and by the time I arrived in Landsdale and found a place to park, it was getting close to dark. I managed to get some photos after dark with available light from the streetlights.

Pottstown Fireworks '08 (24)
 Shooting the 2008 Pottstown fireworks in Manatawny park this year was both challenging and interesting. I was invited by the crew that set off the show to get a close up view of the display which was a new and interesting challenge. I say that because the constant changes in lighting as the canisters were firing made my meter in my camera useless. Also, the autofocus in my handheld camera had a little trouble focusing in such low lighting conditions. I learned rather quickly that it would lock on silhouettes with no problem. So, I tried to concentrate on backlit silhouettes. I shot with 2 cameras. One was handheld to move around quickly and grab silhouettes and the 2nd camera was mounted on a tripod for long exposure shots. Unfortunately, we had rain right up until the fireworks were set off. That meant that the display was covered the entire time until being lit to keep the fuses from getting wet. Another problem was low lying fog and heavy smoke. The crew did a fine job. Enjoy !
Pottstown Flood Areas 6/28-29/06 (95)
 These are photos of Pottstown after several days of heavy rainfall. Taken 6/28 and 6/29 of 2006. This was the highest water level on the Schuylkill River since the Hurricane Agnes flood in 1972.The water was much higher by the 29th because it rained all night on the 28th.

Red Morning Glory photos (12)
 These are a few shots of Red Morning Glories. I was experimenting with films, flash and filters at the time. So, some are done with flash and some with available light. The films were Kodak Elite chrome 100 and E100VS. I found that the Elite Chrome 100 worked better for shooting Red flowers than the E100VS. E100VS tended to oversaturate the reds.
Reflections (7)
 These are photos with reflections in water.

Truck Fire at Chapel Steel (12)
 I was sitting on my front porch a few weeks ago when I heard several explosions. I could smell smoke. So, I knew something was going on and it was close by. I grabbed my camera and headed toward the sound of the explosions. It was a truck fire at Chapel Steel in Pottstown. These are the photos. It was 4:00AM and I was shooting in available light with Fuji Superia 1600. The only lighting was flood lights set up by the fire dept.
