sometimes the fulfilling creative thing you are working on is the d&d campaign you are running for just a few of your friends

Many years ago, when I worked a corporate office job, the network firewall message glitched and left me with this existentially dreadful message.

it is simply impossible for humans to achieve this level of comfort

McConnells Mill is always a great hike no matter the season #pennsylvania #hiking #statepark #parks #outdoors #photography #naturalist #naturephotography #winter

Always incredible seeing Alpha Falls frozen over like this #pennsylvania #hiking #waterfalls #outdoors #naturalist #photography #landscape

Took the Light L16 out with me for a hike for the first time in a while. My verdict about this camera remains the same. It is occasionally remarkable. #photography #weirdcameras #hiking #pennsylvania #naturalist #naturephotography #landscape

A few years back I recorded these water drops flowing behind a thin sheet of ice on a rock face near a waterfall. #winter #hiking #naturalist #pennsylvania #nature

Happy sixth birthday to my fluffy boy, Cooper! We went a nice long walk through the snow before we are hunkered down for a few days due to the cold.

we don’t need tiktok, we need to revive public access television

Hoping to get out for some winter hikes next week after the extreme cold moves through. But right now I’ll be thinking of the warm light shining through these trees. 📷 #cookforest #pennsylvania #naturalist #naturephotography #photography #hiking #outdoors #forest

A tough thing about being a video editor is being haunted by stock music that you used in a video years ago by hearing in commercials today.

Popped outside to watch the lunar occultation of mars through my camera and snapped a few frames as well. The tiny red dot near the bottom of the moon is mars! #astronomy #astrophotography #moon #mars #lunaroccultation #space #sciart #wolfmoon

A few years ago I was messing around with a scanner and I scanned my favorite Pokémon card. #pokemon #porygon #pokemontcg

Cook Forest in the fall is always a mushroom paradise 🍄📷 #mushrooms #fungi #fungifriends #mushroomsky #hiking #cookforest #pennsylvania #naturalist #naturephotography #woodland #photography

There are probably plenty of frozen waterfalls to be found with all the cold weather. Now for the hard part, bundling up and hiking through the cold 🥶 #photography #pennsylvania #ohiopyle #hiking #winter #waterfall #landscapephotography #photographer #nature #naturalist

The biggest surprise of last year was being able to see the aurora not once, but three times from western Pennsylvania! We are still in solar max so hoping for some more this year. #aurora #northernlights #auroraborealis #spaceweather #astrophotography #astronomy #photography #sciart #landscape

Last year got off to a rough start for me but it brought some amazing moments like the solar eclipse. #astrophotography #solareclipse #astronomy #space #photography #sciart
