Sometimes, you have to take a macro shot, close up, to see the big picture. I don’t imagine there’s a big story here: a crab walking at low tide, a gull snatches it up, drops it on the rocks below, and has a nice lunch. But how did this claw get here, at least thirty yards from the water? Where [...]
When you visit Flagstaff, Arizona, you find yourself in a place you’d never consider a desert. Tall pines, green grass, soaring mountain peaks…it looks more like an Alpine village than the middle of a barren wasteland. Flagstaff lies in what is considered a semi-desert and has the largest contiguous Ponderosa Pine forest in North America. But one of Flagstaff’s most [...]
As a television cameraman, every so often, I get to go to some cool places and do some cool things. On this particular trip to San Francisco and Silicon Valley for the Hugh Thompson Show, we made trips to Google, Yahoo, and Sun Microsystems. But as any good traveler knows, it’s the unplanned events and places that make for the [...]
When you pull back from the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas, and drive past the towering skyscrapers and flashing lights, you find yourself at the foot of the Spring Mountains in the basin of the Mojave Desert. When you’re on the 23rd floor of the Luxor Hotel and are awake at 6AM because of a 3 hour time difference, [...]

A few years ago, I was sent to London, England for work. My crew and I were there to video tape some very cool technology segments for a show we were working on. One day of the week we spent there, I had some time where I could go shoot what’s called b-roll: it’s the footage that covers other video [...]
Down by the Maine State Pier, just off to the left across from the Narrow Gauge Railroad, is a marina where a sailing school is based and marine maintenance work is done. On one of my acquaintance walks, where I was wandering around getting to know my new home, I came on this large beam covered in black, shiny mussels. [...]
I took this picture of Bell Rock (on the left) and Courthouse Butte in Sedona, Arizona on a cross-country road trip way back in June of 2004. The Southwest American desert is so unlike any place I’d ever been, especially when you come from New England. The colors are truly fantastic any time of day, but the landscape seems to [...]
From my friends at the Maine Island Trail Association, a holiday card slideshow. I can’t wait to buy a kayak and a membership, and get to camp out on these amazing islands!
