Winter Weather

We had a snowstorm in New England this week.
Schools cancelled, the roads were messy and the plows were everywhere.

Photographing snow can be tricky and best done under a cloudy sky that doesn't break for the sun. We don't have to go far for a winter wonderland when the snow is still white.



These photos were taken and edited on my 
Samsung s7Edge in Pro Mode, which allows for capturing RAW images.




I edited the photos with the free Snapseed app right on my phone.




Sometimes it seems like we live inside of a Snow Globe!

My New England Gallery at Pixels.com

Please check out my photographs in my New England Gallery at Pixels.com. Taken on day trips during all kinds of weather, they show how nice it is in my corner of the globe.
The photos below are from East Gloucester, Massachusetts, home to a thriving artist community and fishing industry.

My Road Trip Portfolio on Shutterstock

My Portfolio is uploaded on Shutterstock. I am adding to it from years of road trips so it is a work in progress. So far, this file is from the American Southwest: Arizona and New Mexico. It was a great road trip including The Grand Canyon, The Painted Desert, The Petrified Forest and, of course, Route 66.

Happy New Year!

Jigsaw Puzzles, Photography and Road Trips occupy my time these days. I paint in oil and use pastels in my drawing. I am sharing my work and adventures on this blog.

2017 had its ups and downs: down involved a broken left wrist and right ankle (at the same time!) and I didn't have a summer to speak of. But an autumn road trip from Seattle to Los Angeles was one of our best vacations ever. 2018 should be much, much better! So Happy New Year it is!

I am concentrating on my photography with my Olympus SLR and my Samsung s7 Edge, working in Photoshop on my desktop, and Snapseed on my phone and Lightroom on my iPad. I give you my Best Nine on Instagram from 2017: 

Blizzard at Coney Island

There is something apocalyptic about being at an ocean side amusement park at the height of a blizzard.
