Water Ballet at the Aquarium

Sometimes you just have to ready...for anything. While visiting the Seattle aquarium a few years ago, here was this intriguing sea anemone firmly attached to its water world behind one inch thick glass. The slight movement of the water reminded me of the grace and beauty of the ballet.

Maine Rocks!

The colors and textures of Maine's rocky coast are simply fascinating. Multi-colored rock formations juxtaposed with seaweed and barnacles--it doesn't get much better than that! The subjects are almost endless in number, with blues, reds, pinks, and greens everywhere. You just have to look for them.

Plum Island Breakwater

It's always nice to get away from it all and walk the beach at Plum Island. A quiet and restorative scene where sunbathing, fishing, swimming, or walking is always in vogue. The breakwater takes on fascinating shapes and configurations. The time of day, the tide, and the clouds all help to make each visit and image unique.

Walking at Low Tide along the Marginal Way

Shoreline along the Marginal Way, Ogunquit Beach

I check the tide schedules often when planning a visit to Ogunquit. Sometimes I must wait several days or a few weeks so that the tide will be right for a breath taking sunrise image. Planning shoreline shots with the right light and open space requires an afternoon low tide. The colors and the striations of the shoreline rock along the Marginal Way are both fascinating and intriguing. Sometimes I forget that the tide waits for no one. When the incoming tide rushes over the tops of my hiking boots, then I know it's time to move on.

A near disaster at Elowah Falls in Oregon

Elowah Falls, John B. Yeon State Park, Oregon

While on assignment at the Hanford site ( think Manhatten Project) in the 1990's, I traveled throughout the Northwest in search of beauty and grandeur. After a short hike at the John B. Yeon State Park along the Columbia Gorge in Oregon, I came upon the Elowah Falls. Then misfortune struck--I tripped and my camera was totally immersed. A total loss. But all was not lost--I kept a back-up camera and extra film (in those days) in my car. I had to get the shot. So down the mountain I went, and up the mountain again. I will never forget that.

Ongoing Exhibitions at Tallman Eye Associates

At a Snail's Pace -- Ogunquit Beach

To provide a unique "visual experience", there are ongoing photographic exhibitions at Tallman Eye Associates offices located in Lawrence, Massachusetts and Salem, New Hampshire.

You probably get the idea here--you seek to improve your vision with glasses, contact lenses, and expert medical advice, and then--voila! you see some beautiful images. I thought it was a good idea to display photos there, and so did my ophthalmologist.

Oh yes, I know you are wondering--you can purchase photos right off the wall.

Flying high over the Grand Canyon

This is not your ordinary view of the Grand Canyon. You have to fly in a helicopter to capture this view! This flight is not for the faint of heart. It was a late afternoon flight with the sun low on the horizon. The Colorado River is in the background.

Ogunquit Beach

Hello Again,



Here is one of my favorite places! I spend a lot of time here walking the Footbridge Beach and the Marginal Way. Each season has its own unique views. There is always more to see at Ogunquit.
