As many of you know, I had an incredible opportunity to spend a couple weeks in the Patagonia region of South America. To say it was amazing would be a complete understatement. It worked out that PetaPixel in conjunction with OM System wanted to do a story from this trip. The following is the article that was just published. I hope you enjoy the article as much as I enjoyed the adventure. Here is a link to the article:

In this video I will share my experience photographing and filming at the Grounds For Sculpture in Hamilton New Jersey. This is an absolutely amazing cultural facility with both large and small sculptures. I have photographed here during the day in the past. But, recently I visited the complex during their evening “Night Forms” event. The experience was amazing but challenging from the low light aspect. Here I put my camera gear to the test by using the highest ISO settings I have ever used during a photoshoot. YouTube video: https://youtu.be/It4yao589L4

In keeping with the Halloween theme today, I thought I would post a few images from when I was hiking on a trail above Lehigh University. This area is know as the Lehigh Millennium Folk Arch and Art Enclave. And yes, they have been heavily edited.
