This winter has brought many adventures with it. We have seen days where we only have a few inches of snow and other days where it totals 31 inches. So, needless to say it's been a fun winter. I have managed to get out as much as possible to photograph this winter wonderland here in Maine. It was on one of my adventures that I stumbled across the most beautiful sight. I couldn't help it, but I had to photograph it. You could say it was a minor obsession of mine and has been since. There is something about this landscape that caught my attention and won over my heart. It's said that you can go to a location every day and never see the same sight again. Well, I'm glad I had my camera with me and caught it at the right time. The result was photographs that make smile and think "man I love what I do!" Here are some of the ones that I got with my digital camera. The rest will come later once I scan them in. { I took a bunch with my Holga}.

So, over the past few days, I have been working on editing more of my photos from my China trip. It's been snowing here, so this has given me the perfect time to work on them. I have had the most fun editing them and remembering the stories behind them, the people I met and the fun I had over there. I hope you can enjoy them as much as I do.

Winter

I'm super excited, because Maine got hit with a crazy, awesome blizzard. I was lucky enough to get out and capture it's beauty. Some places got more snow than others. So in addition to those photos, here are some other winter photos. There will be more to come!

A Bit of China

I had the wonderful opportunity this summer to go back to China. It was great being back and being able to see the sights again. I think this time, I was able to slow down and really enjoy China. Last time there was so much emphasis on getting the perfect images that the trip was consumed with that notion. It was constantly going, going, going. Don't get me wrong, I had a wonderful time the last time I was there, but relaxing isn't a word I would use. This time it was relaxing. I was able to really take in the sights and see things in a new light. Sure, I took photos, but I feel like this time I really experienced China. I opened my eyes and heart to the things around me and it took me by surprise. I came to appreciate this country, it's history and the people so much more deeply. Well, here are a few photos from the trip. More will come :)
