  • 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…

  • Barred Owl

    Kim and I have been hearing this Barred Owl (or one just like it) for years, and I finally spotted him today. He wasn’t 500 feet from our house, just behind us in the trees. It sat there calmly as Jeannie and I made our way through the trail by our home (Jeannie’s favorite place…

  • 40 Thieves Live Recording Session

    It’s not every day I get invited to a private live recording session. I hadn’t even heard of Jackson, Maine, before I was invited to attend the special live recording session of 40 Thieves. Travis Cyr, who hails from good ole’ Van Buren like I do, has been performing all over the state and beyond…

  • Weekend Photo Outing

    ,

    Just a guy with a weird antenna-looking thing on his back (360 camera on a stick), a drone, and a big-ass camera shooting photos and video of mundane stuff around town.

  • We are not Silent, We do not Consent

    Braving the cold October air, people of all ages turned up to make their voices heard and their dissent known.

  • Bird Feeder and Fireplace Season is Here

    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…

  • Fire in the Sky

    ,

    The skies above Caribou put on quite a show this morning. When I woke up and caught a glimpse of this out of our bedroom window, I ran straight out of bed, grabbed my drone from the office, and bolted into the driveway — still in my underwear — to capture these photos. In case…
