Mulligan

His name is Alex, and he's already a huge golf fan. Napping between holes is highly recommended.







Black Sky

Grabbed this shot while driving through Center City. Reminds me of the Tyrell Corporation from Bladerunner...

Tyler State Park in the Fall

Some nice colors out there these days. Miniature 'falls'. You can even get your feet wet without losing any toes (at least until December). Here as well, tons of macro opportunities, just don't do what I did and forget to charge the camera batteries...

Bombay Hook National Wildlife Reserve

Took a trip to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Reserve in Delaware. Tons of waterfowl. Some snakes. Plenty of ladybugs (infestation, really). Interesting place, with a genuine nuclear cooling tower as a backdrop. Recommended.

Ithaca, NY

I recently took a trip to Ithaca, NY. I managed to get to Watkins Glen, Buttermilk Falls, Taughannock Falls and Robert Treman State Park. It was a beautiful time of year, the leaves were near their peak, and although it was rainy and foggy, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as we had nice even light, without the hard shadows that direct sunlight can produce. In addition to all the falls, there were endless macro possibilities...











Ithaca, continued....

Laurita Vineyard

My first ever excursion to a vineyard. Spent the whole time taking pics! Beautiful place, located in New Egypt, NJ. The white grass/foliage is a result of an infrared filter over the sensor.

Howell Living History Farm

Took a short trip to the Farm today. Ate freshly made ice-cream churned by a single-stroke engine from 1913. Also had some wonderfully barbecued food, listened to some music, and even checked out the sheep.

American Le Mans Series, Lime Rock Park

This past weekend saw the American Le Mans series held at the famous Lime Rock Park, in Lakeville, Ct. Among the more famous names at the track were Indy 500 winner Gil de Ferran, IndyCar Series co-champion Scott Sharp, and Adrian Fernandez, as well as double Le Mans 24 Hour winner David Brabham, Bill Auberlen and Joey Hand. Practice and qualifying was intense, but so was the heat and humidity. By the end of the day I felt and smelled like a barnyard animal, but it was worth it to come away with some interesting pics of the days events. I was feeling a bit nostalgic being at that track, so I thought I'd throw up a pic of myself on the track from back in the day!
