Read Time:30 Second
For me, photography is about catching a moment. That moment can be a backlit street scene or twin church towers silhouetted by a setting sun.

Silhouette Photography
2 people take a break at the Capitol Building in Richmond, VA. People walk under the Trefoil Arch in Central Park. The shape of the arch is unique, the backlit people walking through gives it a little extra. The bell towers of Saint Anne’s Church are silhouetted against a setting sun. A man takes a break beside a window in a museum in Cuba. The seahorses on the Grattan Bridge in Dublin, Ireland. -
Year End Review – Night Photography
Read Time:2 Minute, 21 SecondI did a year end review of my favorite and least favorite still life images. As promises here are my favorite and least favorite night images.
Favorite Night Photography
Night photography is my current obsession. As I mentioned in my America After Dark gallery. This image is from the Dragon Lights Festival. There is a color version of this and it’s nice. But I love the way the black and white makes it about the light and dark and highlights the shapes of the flowers and people.
A tunnel of light with people walking through. A favorite of not just my night photography, but also my photos from Knoxville. The Tennessee Theatre marquee is lit up and people are walking through town. In the lower right corner is a young girl with a pink jacket, she makes this photo for me. I love subtle touches in photos.
Gay Street in Knoxville, TN after dark. The Chrysler Building takes center stage in this New York skyline photo. I took this from the observation deck on the Empire State Building. I had to squeeze myself in between people taking selfies and some lovers making out. But totally worth it!
New York City skyline after dark. Taken from the Empire State Building, with the Chrysler Building as the central part of this image. The Daylight Building in downtown Knoxville, TN. I took this while wondering around downtown. I couldn’t find anything that caught my eye. So, I was headed back to the car. And there it was. The single person, the lone bicycle, and the shops all lit up for the night.
The Daylight Building in Knoxville, TN. Least Favorite Night Photography
It’s not that I don’t like these images but I feel like they could be better.
I don’t like the stop sign or the car in this image. As we were leaving, I noticed a better angle and it’s been bugging me ever since. I think I will have to go back and get a better pic. Also, eat pizza!
Big Ed’s Pizza in Oak Ridge, TN. Big Ed’s has been at its current location since 1970. It’s a local staple and always busy. I think I might like this better if shot a little closer to sunset, so the 1907 and the outline of the clock could be more pronounced. Yes, I could lighten it but that would produce an unnatural grainy look.
Street Clock in Lenoir City, TN. Thank you for visiting my most and least favorite list of night photography from this year. Feel free to share your own end of year blogs in the comments below!

Summer Love
Read Time:34 SecondWhat is it I love about summer? Long summer days and warm nights with a cool breeze blowing. The lightning bugs lighting up the night like fairy lights leading the way. Going to festivals and fairs where the food is bad but perfect. The sounds of people laughing, having a good time. The feel of warm grass on my bare feet. Open windows and the sound of frogs and crickets singing. Fresh vegetables and grilled anything. Yes, I love summer.
Summer brings the fair and late nights and early days. The fair at dusk as the sun is setting and the lights are starting to glow. -
