We took a day trip to Philadelphia to explore and create. We ended up in Rittenhouse Square, my favorite area of Philly. I took this picture right before we went to get smoothies. It captures the feeling you get in the Rittenhouse area; the hustle and bustle of city life, great tones, incredible buildings, but a small hometown vibe. When I see this picture it puts me back in that happy place.

My first time ever seeing these rare nearly all white deer in the wild. I spotted this one just before sunrise in the Pine Barrens in the middle of southern New Jersey. When I first caught a glimpse of it I thought it was trash on the far side of a lake. When I pointed the lens at it I quickly realized it was a piebald whitetail deer and a great looking one at that. The calm morning gave a nice reflection on the water. I watched this deer for maybe 2 minutes before it disappeared into the forest.

I laid in the mud along the shoreline of the marsh just as the sun was rising. This Snowy Egret made its way right in front of the sun for a nice silhouette as it stalked the shallows in search of food.

In 2014, I took a trip to New York for the cliche and touristy site seeing ventures. On a foggy day, we went to the Statue of Liberty. Trying to create various angles, I stood just a bit off to the side and tilted my camera upwards. After a handful of shots, and shifting the camera’s angel, I saw an airplane in the top left corner of the frame. It appeared and disappeared within the clouds. So, in hopes that I could perhaps capture it near the statue, I took a bunch of photos. Then, this happened. Yes, it’s not perfectly centered between the crown, but still // a new angle on the same statue.

One of the coldest days I have ever experienced. Sunny, below freezing and the wind must have been blowing 50 mph through lower Manhattan. As we exited the 9/11 Memorial, I had to capture this image of the Freedom Tower, frozen in time.
