I had the opportunity to photograph at the ArtsQuest Glass Studio the other day during a team building event. It is an absolutely amazing place. If you haven’t seen the place you need to check it out.

The Roxy
The Roxy in Northampton, PA was a place I would periodically travel to in my younger days. It has always captivated me based on its architecture and, of course, the various concerts & movies I saw there. The Roxy opened as the Lyric in 1921 and fortunately they have continued to maintain it over the many years. My attempt was to capture the theatre with some daylight along with the “blue hour”.

Hurricane Sandy, NJ
Hurricane Sandy did significant damage up and down the east coast. One area hit the hardest was Seaside Heights, NJ. I had heard about the devastation in this particular area and wanted to witness it myself. The police presence was much greater than I would have guessed. It was actually very difficult to photograph the area because of the police restrictions. I guess all total, it was a good thing they were there in force. Here are a few images from my visit which includes artifacts salvaged from various places on the former boardwalk. By way of an update, they have started the restoration work.

Main St. Bridge
I went to Northampton, PA with the intent of photographing some ice flows in the Lehigh River. However, there was little to no ice flow to be seen. But I was treated to some nice reflections and a sunset. The shots were taken on the east side of the river looking northwest from Canal Street.
In October of 2011, I traveled to the country of Bhutan. This has to be one of the most beautiful places on this earth. During my travel I was fortunate to see some places few tourists have ever seen. On several different occasions I was invited into several peoples homes and allowed to witness some of their private ceremonial events. In November of 2012, I had an exhibit at Fox Optical in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, as part of the InVision photography month. The following is a sampling of some of the images and a few shots from the opening reception.

Mercer Museum
This past weekend I traveled with the Lehigh Valley Photography Club to the Mercer Museum in Doylestown, PA. I have never been here before and I must say this is an amazing place. The building and the artifacts are just incredible. You could easily spend a full day here. This was my first travel with the LVPC. They were a great group of people and everyone was extremely nice. I look forward to the opportunity to do it again.

Easton Cemetery Meets Sandy
Established in 1849, the Easton Cemetery is the earliest and best surviving example of a romantic parklike cemetery within the Lehigh Valley metro area. We heard that there was some damage sustained as a result of Hurricane Sandy. A couple of weeks ago, we set out to check the rumors for ourselves. Much to our surprise, the damage was not as bad as we had originally thought. Here are a few images from that day.

A Blue Day (Blue Heron that is)
A couple of my friends that I see at least once a week.
A little over a week ago, I took Bo for our weekly walk. Generally I take my camera & several lenses with me. However, the rain started. I thought I would play it safe and bring my waterproof point-and-shoot, the Olympus TG-1. As I was meandering along, my eyes were catching all the raindrops on the trees and leaves. I thought I would try the built in macro settings. I wasn’t sure what to expect. Long story short, I wasn’t disappointed.
