Lorain West Breakwater Light
The Lorain Lighthouse is an iconic but unusual structure. Rather than follow the typical cylindrical tower pattern of most lighthouses, Lorain's light was contained within a "beacon building." Lorain West Breakwater Light is no longer a functioning lighthouse, but it is still an interesting photographic subject. We were there in January...
Lake George
Lake George, nicknamed the Queen of American Lakes, is a long, narrow oligotrophic lake located at the southeast base of the Adirondack Mountains, in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of New York. Lake George NY offers the best views of autumn in the Adirondacks! The leaves begin to...
Kennecott Mines
Kennecott Copper Mines - I love this place!! They were discovered in 1900, developed into 5 working mines that yielded the largest payload of copper in America at that time. Building the mines were just the tip of it all...how to get the ore out and down to the lower...
Portland Head Light
This headlight is iconic of Maine and New-England. Since it is close to the sea, different seasons can bring different photographic opportunities. Under a storm you can create dramatic pictures, whereas under the sun it can be idyllic.
Charles River
All along the river there are plenty of nice photographic spots. You can exit the metro at Charles/MGH, walk in the esplanade, cross the river whenever you want. Depending on the season, the river may be entirely frozen, full of boats or rowing crues. (more…)

Balcony Falls Train Station
From what I can tell the Balcony Falls Train Station has not be active for years. The building is locked up and looks to be used for storage. The surroundings don't provide much in the way of a picturesque view, but all around the building you'll find mix-match doors, windows,...
Bodie Island Lighthouse
The Bodie Island Lighthouse and caretaker building provide lots of character compared to many other pillar-style lighthouses. The surrounding area is completely undeveloped so the contrast of the lighthouse with the surrounding nature make for a number of angles and compositions. (more…)
Naples Pier
Personally I like wooden piers, the age and wear gives them a bit of character. Modern piers are made of concrete and lack personality but the Naples Pier has two things going for it: the structures on the pier give it a nice focal point, and it's on the gulf...
