Yesterday I took my usual Saturday morning hike down in the Lehigh Parkway and was greeted with the first dose of spring. Finally! I also had the opportunity to enjoy my new Olympus OM-D E-M10 with the ultra compact electric wide zoom M.Zuiko 14-42mm f3.5-5.6 lens. I can tell you this mini combo is quite the powerhouse. It was as easy to use as it was to carry.
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to be traveling close to Asheville, NC. So I took the opportunity to visit an amazing place, The Biltmore Estate. The main house and primary attraction was built between 1889 & 1895 by George Washington Vanderbilt. Back in the day it was the largest house in the USA at 178,926 square feet. As a photographer, the only disappointment was, they don’t allow any photography inside. But, there are plenty of images to be had outside and around the many grounds and gardens.
A couple of weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing Gene Perla with his newly formed group, Funk Xpress, play upstairs at the Miller Symphony Hall, Jazz Cabaret Series. The performance was highly energizing and extremely entertaining. The band consists of renowned talent that successfully captivated the audience with a variety of music choices. During the evening, there were hints of future Jazz Cabaret performances. Let’s keep our fingers crossed! For future Jazz Cabaret Series schedule and tickets, Click Here .
