Below are several experiments with making kaleidoscope images in Photoshop. Yes, I know this is a bit of a gimmick. So sue me. There are plenty of gimmicks in photography these days. They’re all wonderful or terrible, depending on who…
Just a favorite place I go to. No, I won’t tell you where it is.
I don’t do much print design anymore, but the Camden Civic Theatre posters are fun (pro-bono) job that I love. It’s always a good challenge for me to summarize the spirit of a show in a single letter- or tabloid-size…
My aunt and her family
I finally got around to editing the photos I made last week on the Mary Day. Also, don’t miss the Mary Day video I made the same week.
I’m new to video and still make plenty of mistakes (you can actually hear me breathing in some of this). But even with my flaws, I think this gives a pretty good idea of what it’s like to spend some…
Even on a somewhat cold and wet June day, the stuff available here is amazing.
The First is one of our local banks. They hired me to take pictures of a local potter, Bridgette Kinney. The product of that will be in the mail in the next couple of weeks but Bridgette has a PDF…
I went back to Pennsylvania for Christmas. Almost ready to leave, I asked my two nephews if I could take their pictures. Quentin was cool with it. Here he is.
I took this picture years ago and it continues to be a favorite, for me and others. My mother has asked me to print another round of notecards with it for her. And she’s just heard from an old friend…
How I spent my summer vacation. My aunt, Betsy, rented a house in Stonington and had room for me. Also there were her son, Nathan, and his son, Nic, and daughter, Lydia.
I went sailing last weekend. Pretty nice! [slidepress gallery=’memorial-day-2010′]
The Camden Harbormaster posted on Facebook: Daily Def: “SLUSH FUND”-slush was the unpromising name for fat scraped off the top of the barrels of meat. The crew found it perfect for greasing masts to make sail hoisting easier and for…
How the crew of the Mary Day and other windjammers spend their evenings before the season starts. [slidepress gallery=’mary-day-crew-evening’]
I prefer Acadia in the off season. From October to about May, it can feel like I have it all to myself. Wandering that magical mile from Otter Cliffs to Thunder Hole with almost nobody else around is a real…
Went out to Lake Megunticook Sunday afternoon. It was incredibly warm. The remnants of Hurricane Ida were just leaving us. It was very wet and very calm. I was almost completely alone. [slidepress gallery=’fernaldsneck’]
This picture is the wallpaper on my computer screen and almost everyone who sees it wants to know how it was made. The word photography means, literally, drawing with light. But “painting with light” is a technique to add a…

I mentioned to my friend Ann Marie the other day that I’d paddled to Mark Island. “What’s that rock?” she asked me. I asked her which rock, but I sort of knew. I had stopped to photograph the rock. It’s…
