My Favorite Photos of 2025
Specifically, my favorite photos that I took and uploaded to this blog in 2025. I subscribe to the The Atlantic (no surprises there) and I really enjoy their posts that simply feature photos taken that week or year that are impactful in some way. They recently released their “best photos of 2025” featuring the most…

Trip to Bangor and Twenty-One Pilots
Back in September, our youngest son Braden (the grave looking young man in the Levi’s hoodie) turned 14 years old. He and his older brother Marcus have always been huge Twenty-One Pilot’s fans. Our gift to him was tickets to the Twenty-One Pilots Clancy Tour concert in Bangor for both of them and Marcus’ fiancé.…

Five-Minute Photo Shoot
Just ran out the door with the dog and my camera and took photos until my hands got cold and I decided we should go back inside.

The Trees are Frosty, Get the Drone
As the temperature begins to drop (usually 20° Fahrenheit and below) Kim begins to take Jeannie for quick morning snowshoe walks through trails in the back woods. Besides the river bed in the summer and fall months, the snowy trails behind our house are Kim’s favorite place to be. The cold winter air provides relief…

It officially feels like fall now that Kim has put up the bird feeders and we’ve had the first fire of the season in our fireplace. It doesn’t take long for the birds to figure out the feeders have been put out. Within hours of Kim hanging and filling the feeders, our front porch turned…

Fall by the River
Here’s a few quick photos I took while Kim and Jeannie and I went for a walk along the river bed this evening. I haven’t taken much time to walk along the river bed this summer. I’ve been busy processing photos, producing videos, building this website, and trying to figure out how to effectively use…

Graffiti Around Caribou
I’m not sure why, but I’ve always found graffiti fascinating. I don’t really understand the motivation behind it, nor do I understand any of the messaging, ideals, codes, or memes associated with most of it. Nevertheless, I’m always drawn to photograph it, if for no other reason than it’s something interesting to look at. Here…

Caribou’s Power Plant and Boring Childhood Car Rides
The site stands out in my mind as being almost iconic. I grew up in Van Buren, a small town near the Canadian border. We often traveled south to Caribou and Presque Isle to shop at Ames, Service Merchandise and the Aroostook Centre Mall — the mall was a bigger deal then — and maybe…
