Signs in Charleston, South Carolina
One of the things I've discovered that I love to photograph are signs - usually storefront signs - but other kinds as well. I seem to notice them more when I'm away from home. Perhaps that's because I see the local ones so often I don't really look at them. I've...
Photos from the Road: Fall in the Hudson River Valley
I'm back from a wonderful photo trip to the Hudson River Valley region of New York. I'd spent some time there earlier this year and knew I wanted to go back in hopes of seeing and photographing fall foliage in the area. I managed to time my trip perfectly and got to...
In the Studio: Orange Tulips
Not long ago I found a set of orange tulips - with hints of red and green in the petals - at my local store. So, of course, I had to get them and photograph them in my studio. As with several other sets of tulips I've photographed this year - I seem to be...
Dahlias at Longwood Gardens 2016 part 2
Last year I photographed some amazing dahlias at Longwood Gardens at the Greater Philadelphia Dahlia Society show. So I was really looking forward to attending and photographing this year's show. Unfortunately, from a photographic perspective, I didn't think this year...

I’ve recently added a new photo – Yellow & White Siberian Irises – to the shop on my BeautifulFlowerPictures.com website. I love Siberian Irises. In 2015, I photographed a group of siberian irises in my studio – and rather than my usual...
Photographing Tulips in my Studio
Earlier this year, I photographed several sets of tulips in my studio. I’ve just begun editing the photos I took in the past few weeks. I thought I’d share some of my early favorites of the photos with you today. I’m sure I’ll eventually offer some of them for sale,...

Walking Around Ceasar’s Palace and the Flamingo in Las Vegas
I was looking back to some photos I took earlier this year, I realized I'd never really looked at some of the photos I took in Las Vegas earlier this year. I spent a couple of days just walking around the hotels and the Strip photographing. It's not my usual style of...
How I Organize My Photos In Lightroom

In the Studio: Orange and Yellow Tulips
Last spring I photographed a group of orange and yellow tulips. As I've done with other sets of flowers, I ended up composing more photos of combinations of petals than photos of the entire tulip. I cropped several of them to the panoramic aspect ratio I've been...
