Chasing a Sunset Didn’t Work Out Today
The weather today was beautiful, and it may very well have (finally) been the first day post-winter! For most of the day, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it was warm enough to ride my bike without a jacket of any kind. As late afternoon came along, a few white clouds appeared here and there, which got me excited about the potential for an awesome sunset. Erin and I made our way to my...

Well guys, I didn't win. But it sure was uplifting to know that I was named one of just five finalists for this photo contest.
Getting Up Early For A One-Of-A-Kind Sunrise
I'm not one to get up early if I don't have to. That's not to say I will lay in bed all day, but rare is the day when I'm up in time to see the sunrise.

I'm still trying to figure out how it happened, and whether it's a big deal or not, but it's really awesome that someone liked my photo enough to choose it from out of so many submissions (I don't know how many photos are on Trover - millions, maybe?). Only 45 images were chosen...
A Surprising View On Crowders Mountain
On the drive home from Thanksgiving, Erin and I decided to stretch our legs with a short hike in Crowders Mountain State Park in North Carolina. We'd heard from a friend that it was easy to access...
Practicing Long-Exposure Shots at Toccoa Falls
Ever see professional shots of waterfalls, where the water is nice and smooth, and wonder, "How do they do that?" Well, a technique called long-exposure is how they do it.
Two-Day Appalachian Trail Hike
During my first stint in Richmond, VA, I didn't spend much time in the Shenandoah National Park, Blue Ridge Mountains, or any of the beautiful parks in Virginia. Not this time.
