I visited the Troxell-Steckel house located in Whitehall Township, PA. It is a 2 1/2 story house and farm built in 1756. The house and property is now owned by the Lehigh County Historical Society.

Lehigh Valley Air Show
Lehigh Valley International Airport put on this show last year and it was a huge success. They did it again this year and it was equally as good, if not slightly better. It took place last weekend and Sunday was the prettier day. However, I thought Saturday made for a more dynamic photographic opportunity, which is the day I shot.
Last month’s Jazz Cabaret was another sellout. The Eric Mintel Quartet mastered the balance of the acoustics in Miller Symphony’s Hall’s Rodale Room on Friday July 18th. I had the pleasure of photographing the Quartet while they played songs from Coldplay, Sting, Aerosmith and others as well as many of their own originals. Their performance was enticing and audience engaging.

Fonthill & Moravian Tile Works
As part of my Doylestown trip, I also visited Fonthill Castle & the Moravian Tile Works. Fonthill was constructed in the early 1900’s and was the home of Henry Mercer. In addition to his home, he built Fonthill as a showcase for his collections of tiles & prints. In 1985 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. The facility that produced the tile, is now known as the Moravian Pottery & Tile Works. It is within walking distance of Fonthill. Handmade tiles are still being made in a similar fashion to the way Mercer produced them from 1898 to 1930.

James A. Mischener Art Museum
This museum, located in Doylestown PA, is a wonderful place to photograph. Presently there is an exhibit by Steve Tobin titled “Out of this World”.
A little over a week ago we stumbled across this orchid. The array of flowers & produce is amazing.
Last week we did our annual family vacation in Cape May, NJ. The weather was more than cooperative and it was fun spending time with the family. We typically plan one evening at the boardwalk in Wildwood. Unbeknownst to most of the group, I wanted to make an effort to catch the “Golden hour” and the “Blue hour” and, if at all possible, be on the ferris wheel at that time. As luck (and a little bit of planning) had it, I was able to pull it off. All of the images were shot with the Olympus OM-D E-M10 & the 14-42mm lens.

The Color of Lavender
Last weekend I traveled to place called Carousel Lavender Farm. During the course of the shoot, you couldn’t help but be hypnotized by the aroma and the sights. For the macro shots, I used the Olympus micro fourthirds 60mm f2.8 lens. It is a brilliant piece of equipment. All images were taken with the Olympus OM-D E-M1.
