A Walk through the Woods
(click on photo to enlarge) I’ve had the opportunity to take several walks through wooded areas around Manhattan over the last few weeks. With the cooler temperatures and changing colors Fall is a great time for a walk in the woods. The photo above was made along the Cottonwood Trail in the Riverponds campground […]
A walk on the Prairie
This past Friday my wife and I had the opportunity to go for a walk at Konza Prairie. After the brutal summer we had this year, the recent cooler temperatures have been very welcome and Friday was just about perfect weather-wise for a walk on the prairie. When I first got into photography I spent […]
Dark Kansas Skies – Photographing the Milky Way in Marshall County
This past weekend I had the chance to spend an evening out under the stars with my camera. For the past few years I’ve really been smitten with photographing the Milky Way, especially if I can incorporate some terrestrial elements in the scene. I sound like a broken record when I say things like this, […]
Snow on the Mountain and Clouds over the Milky Way
Last weekend my Dad and I spent some time exploring some country roads in Washington County, starting off on All American Road. This was the third time Dad and I had been in the area of All American Road. The first two times we had stopped for sunset at the intersection of All American Road […]
A Few Evenings on The Rocks
So those of you reading my blog (all 3 of you!) know that I like photographing locations I’m familiar with and one those locations is “the rocks” in the Spillway State Park on Tuttle Creek Lake. I’m not really sure if I could say exactly what it is about this particular place other than I […]

A Drive Through the Flint Hills
Back in May I had the chance to do some exploring down around the Matfield Green – Cassoday area of the Flint Hills with fellow photographers Dave Leiker, Jeff Heidel, and Chris Soupene. I had only been down around this area a couple of times and then only to the area immediately around Teter Rock. […]
A hot evening on the Bird Runner Refuge
I haven’t posted photos from any of my photo trips out to the Bird Runner Refuge since last May so I thought I would share a few from my most recent outing to the refuge. I’ve been shooting on Bird Runner just shy of a year and a half now and while I haven’t made it […]
Too late again (mostly)
(click on any photo in this post to enlarge it) Each year there are certain things I try to make sure and photograph, waterfalls running full in the spring, burning of the prairie, the blooming of the butterfly milkweed, etc. One thing I try not miss each year is the Kansas wheat fields right before […]
Interview with Harland Schuster
I’ve been neglecting my blog lately (I’m lucky it is still speaking to me!) and I’m looking forward to posting on a regular basis again. To get things rolling again, I’m posting my third interview with a Kansas based photographer, this time with Harland Schuster (if you need a warmup before diving into Harland’s interview, you can […]
