'Boscombe Dawn'

A night in the van at Boscombe Beach back in November2025.

Planning tide times was inportant to ensure swirling movement in and around the rocks and leading lines really gave the foreground interest. A sunrise that didn’t disappoint.

Wide-angle view of the interior of the Roman Colosseum, showing ancient stone arches, partial ruins, and crowds of tourists exploring the historic amphitheater under a partly cloudy sky.

Pano view from inside the Colosseum in Rome. I highly recommend a tour and buy your tickets ahead of time. The lines are insanely long. #photography #Italy #travel

This teenager saved his neighbor's dog from drowning in a freezing pond. This is Bernard. His family contacted emergency services right away, but high school senior Hugh Pinneo got to Bernard first. Hugh said he's "just glad I acted that day and saved the dog's life." We are too. 12/10 for all

Picture of tentacles with the words "Monsters of Ohio" and "November 2026."

Someone just finished writing a novel.

Spoiler: It was me.

It's called "Monsters of Ohio," it's my 20th novel, and it'll be out in November.

I hope you'll like it.

I'm very tired.

A shot of Baker Beach and the Golden Gate bridge, zoomed during exposure so the waves and bridge radiate out as the zoom happened during half second exposure.

A city street scene in Chicago with busy traffic and pedestrians, bordered by tall buildings. An elevated train crosses above the street on a steel track, with modern glass skyscrapers visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

A dramatic sunset over the ocean, with vibrant orange and yellow light breaking through dark clouds, reflecting on the water and wet sand of a tranquil beach.

I wanted this shot to work so bad but we were running late on our tour and I only had a few seconds to snap this photo. The perfectionist in me says it's not centered and there's too many people in it. I need to learn to let this go and just take the win. πŸ˜‰ #Italy #photography

This account will remain focused on photography.

But…

We can’t ignore what is happening in america. Each of us needs to recognize that we are going to have to stand up to this thuggish, murderous, authoritarian regime, and that may be very uncomfortable for us.

You think you're taking a cool photo of a 2000 year old building, and then these two show up 😜 #photography #Italy #Rome #birds

All shot using real lighting, figures, smoke and miniature sets. I digitally illustrated the light glow and electrical charges on Rasputin's Mecha-Glove.

This was our first time in Italy and we absolutely loved it. There was a lot we didn’t see so we definitely need to back.

I haven't posted in a long time, for various reasons (work, uninspired, etc.) I hope to start posting more regularly. For now, here's a few pics from our recent trip to Florence and Rome over Christmas and New Year's Eve #photography #Italy
