And so we get to part two of the recent beach trip photos and anecdotes, but I can’t say it’s the second half, because I have more pictures to feature here than I did on the previous post.

No, wait, there’s gotta be at least a little more ado, because I’ve been trying to figure out what aspects to feature in which order, and I’m starting to think, screw it, just put ’em up in whatever order seems to […] October 12th, 2019 | Tags: Anolis carolinensis, beach photography, brown pelican, Calidris alba, Carolina anole, goose barnacle, Lepas anatifera, Oak Island, Oak Island lighthouse, Pedunculata, pelagic gooseneck barnacle, Pelecanus occidentalis, sanderling, sunrise, the miracle of barnaclebirth, Tringa semipalmata, willet, Yaupon Beach Fishing Pier | Category: Nature, Photography |
Leave a commentAnd now – now – we get to the birds! I bet this has been as anticipated as the finale to Game of Thrones! To say that I shot a lot of birds during our week in South Carolina is an understatement, but it was a great lead-in to World Migratory Bird Day, which […] Back in the early nineties, a couple of years after moving into North Carolina, I took my first trip alone out to the Outer Banks – I’d been once before with my cousin, a weekend camping trip, but this time around I was intent on doing some ‘serious’ photography, which at that time was […] Insofar as illustrating a manuscript goes, this image isn’t a very good fit, but I happened to like it and it was among the first images that I got for this session, so here it is.

So we watched the predictions for Hurricane Irma with […] When skimming through the slide pages looking for this week’s submission, I came across a couple of different slides of brown pelicans (Pelecanus occidentalis,) which started me thinking. Many years ago, in need of something with which to brand my letterhead and envelopes that said “nature photographer” (other than, you know, the actual words, […] It is sometime in the 1990s. No, I mean it’s 2016 right now, but the event I am relating takes place back then, and I am using a literary style called first-person chronologica dysplasia or some shit like that.
