We stepped from the park path down onto the beach and I thought I just might have stumbled into a scene from the Twilight Zone. The beach scattered with massive driftwood trees resembled images of a pre-historic graveyard. My wife and I looked at each other and almost in unison said, “now we know how this place got its name”. We were at Boneyard Beach on Big Talbot Island, a closely kept secret beach on Florida’s East Coast, just Northeast of Jacksonville.

Cocoa Beach Pier – Cocoa Beach, FL
For the second year in a row, I participated in a project to “Capture Brevard”, highlighting the lifestyle of the place I call home along the Central East Coast of Florida. Brevard County, also known as the “Space Coast” is the 10th largest county in Florida. Located halfway between Jacksonville and Miami, residents and visitors enjoy 72 miles of beaches, and vast inland waterway lagoons. Of course the Space Coast is known world-wide as the origin of space explorations and rocket launches. Continue reading

United Launch Alliance Atlas V – Port Canaveral, FL
Inspired by A Day in the Life series of books co-created by Rick Smolan, a former Time, LIFE, and National Geographic photographer, and publisher David Elliot Cohen, I set out to capture little snippets of life here on the Space Coast of Florida. How do you capture the essence of the lifestyle where we live and work in just a few photographs? I didn’t know exactly where to start, but I set a goal to capture the essence the Space Coast in just 30 days. Continue reading
Amelia Island Sunrise
I have traveled to many places all over the world, but there are only a few I like to return to over and over again. I am not sure how to describe these places. They just feel right. You never get tired of them. They are most interesting, filled with many things to do, yet uncrowded and relaxing. One of these favorite places is Amelia Island, Florida. Continue reading

“A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.” ― Ansel Adams
This Ansel Adams quote echoed in my mind for days after reading it several years ago. I always loved photography even as a young boy but I had never thought of photography as an expression of how I feel in the “deepest” sense. As I looked through an old photo album, I began to realize that every photo I have ever saved in an album or shared with others were photos expressing feelings about what was being photographed.

Nancy at the beach. On-camera fill flash. Golden Mean Composition
I don’t know about you, but I find the most remarkable photos I enjoy seeing over and over again are those with friends and family enjoying our remarkable times and places. Capturing our feelings and the remarkable scene is sometimes very challenging. Continue reading
She stole my heart – Florida Beach Sunrise
The wind was a little cold as we left our garage so early in the morning. Not very cold by most people’s standards, but a little cold for a Florida morning. It was still dark. Continue reading
This photo so reminds me of my youth. I remember mom driving us to the beach early on Saturday morning so we could surf all day. The waves were not anything like we read about in the Surfing Magazines, but we had so much fun riding our little Florida waves. Continue reading
