the Giants Causeway
The Giant’s Causeway is an amazing geographical wonder found on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland. It’s famous for the roughly 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns that rise out of the sea floor like something out of the arcade classic, QBert. During the day, the Giants Causeway swarms with tourists. But come evening time, the crowds [...]

The Cliffs of Moher – Revisited
Ireland’s Cliffs of Moher are one of those amazing locations that visitors will gladly return to over and over again. Photographing the cliffs at sunset can be particularly challenging due to the high winds that you’ll face coming in off the ocean. If you’re planning a visit and want to stay to photograph the sunset, [...]
Gougane Barra Forest – Revisited
Yesterday, I spoke about St. Finbarr’s Oratory, a small beautiful church located on a lake in Gougane Barra, Ireland. Today I’d like to share a few images from the fairytale esque Gougane Barra National Forest, which lies just a stone’s throw away from the church, and yet hardly visited, despite the close proximity. “Ireland is [...]

Back from Ireland
I apologize for the lack of updates on the photo blog. I was traveling and capturing photos of Ireland for the last several weeks. I brought my wife and 4 month old so they could visit with the family in County Kerry. It’s funny, I’ve found that once you have a baby, you’re suddenly not [...]
150th Anniversary of the Battle of Manassas
Had a great time covering the 150th Anniversary of the Battle of Manassas this past weekend. Started nice and early each day, at 5:30am. Boy was it hot this weekend, but well worth the experience. I’m still going through and editing the 1000+ images I took and even though I’m not quite finished, I wanted [...]
Full Moon Hike up Old Rag
It’s not often you get a chance to do a full moon hike and watch the sunrise over the Blue Ridge Mountains on your birthday. The destination was Old Rag, one of the most popular hikes in Virginia. I’ve never been up Old Rag, nor done a full moon hike and didn’t really know what [...]
