Some fall color along the Leatherbark Creek from the 2015 edition of the Cass Photography Workshop. Hopefully we’ll get to do this again some day.
Happy Friday!

Through The Lens 151 – Abrams Falls Autumn
Fall color at Abrams Falls in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. I took this one on a trip a couple years ago. I hope to get back there in the next couple of years.
Happy Friday!
Through The Lens 150 – Happy Halloween
Since its almost Halloween, I thought I would share one of my favorite photos of the Haunted Mansion Gravediggers.
Happy Halloween!
Through The Lens 149 – Keys
I was exploring the French Village at Mid Atlantic Air Museum’s WWII Weekend this past June and stumbled upon this little vignette. With nice lighting, I had to stop and make a photo.
Happy Friday!
Trip Report – Photographing Doc
As I mentioned Friday, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a photo shoot with Doc, one of the two flying B-29 Superfortress’ this past June. The original plan was to shoot one of the B-24’s out on the hot ramp, but an afternoon thunderstorm resulted in the protective covers being installed on the B-24’s which nearly derailed the shoot. Thankfully, Doc’s Friends were willing to allow us to photograph Doc on short notice.
We started with crew and civilian shots on the ground:
And then we moved inside for some cockpit shots:
It was a great shoot, and I hope to have the opportunity to do it again some day. Thanks again to Doc’s Friends and Brett for being awesome hosts and to Pete and all the reenactors who made the shoot possible!
Through The Lens 148 – Bombardier
One of the shots from the photo shoot with Doc that I was invited to participate in back in June. This was a challenging shot to get, involving carefully holding the camera in the air at the top of a monopod and a lot of guesswork on composition. The unique angle, featuring the bombardier through the window of the B-29 was worth the effort.
More from this shoot on Tuesday.
Happy Friday!
Through The Lens 147 – Richie
Earlier this year, I made a goal of photographing more people at the events I attend, particularly the railroad events, and I’m glad I did. Doing so has helped me get to know some of the folks who maintain the locomotives that I love to photograph so much. One of those people was Richie Maggs. The picture above was taken during the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum’s 2018 WWII Weekend at the Cafe in the French Village where Richie was a reenactor.
Last weekend I received the news that Richie had passed away unexpectedly. I only knew him briefly, but I know he was a great guy who lived life to the fullest and truly enjoyed his career in steam railroad preservation. My deepest condolences go out to his friends and family.
Highball, Richie! Rest easy.

Through The Lens 145 – Tractor Pull
The antique tractor pull was one of my favorite events at the fair and provided lots of panning practice over the years. Sadly, they dropped this event a few years back.
Happy Friday!
Through The Lens 144 – Fair Food
I haven’t photographed the Frederick Fair in a couple of years, and the weather may not cooperate this year, so we’ll dig into the archives for one of my favorites from years past. I was walking back to my car after photographing the midway at night and this food vendor caught my eye. Thought it would look nice in black and white.
