30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 4
The Jesup Path near the Sieur de Monts area of Acadia has an interesting history. I have found references to this trail as early as 1895, and George Dorr once proposed that this path was originally a Native American carry route from Cromwell Harbor… Continue Reading “30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 4”
30 Days and 30 Photos – Day 3

Settling in at Acadia NP
“My heart is tuned to the quietness that the stillness of nature inspires.” – Hazrat Inayat Khan I’ve completed my first two full weeks of work at Acadia NP and celebrated after the first week with an 8-mile round trip hike up Cadillac Mountain. … Continue Reading “Settling in at Acadia NP”
Photograph Tales 5 – Amateur Photography Primer 3
It’s sugaring season in Vermont. It represents, to me, the beginning of the end of winter! I walked back to our sugarhouse a few days ago to shoot some pictures and reminisced about the days when we built the sugarhouse and started tapping our… Continue Reading “Photograph Tales 5 – Amateur Photography Primer 3”
Photography Tales 4 – Amateur Photography Primer 2
“Buying a Nikon does not make you a photographer. It makes you a Nikon owner.” – Anonymous I love it! I couldn’t resist this quote!
