A Father, Photographer and Computer Geek living in Chester County (PA).
My Photo Journal of images taken in Chester and Lancaster Counties, including Covered Bridges, Barns, Nature, Fine Art and Events. Images can also be found on VisitPA.com and ExplorePATrails.com.
It has been awhile since I have mentioned anything about my Flickr account, and last night, I finally reached another milestone… 100,000 Total Flickr views!
As you can see, there has been a spike over the past couple of days, and that seems to be due to traffic from my “Fire in the Neighborhood!” post of the other day.
In any case, I want to thank all those that have visited, and I hope you enjoyed what I have to offer.

Wow!
I just got the following email! –
“Hello Andrew
Congratulations, the picture you submitted for our February competition with theme ‘Water’ has won the first prize. [snip…]
http://
landscapephotographymagazine. com/2013/lpm-manfrotto- competition-winner-theme- water/ Paul”
and from the main website:
“We loved Andrew’s image for many reasons. The composition was slightly complicated and yet, extremely pleasing and well designed to keep your eyes staring at it for a while. It contained beautifully vivid colours and gorgeous reflections. The exposure was very well controlled and so was the shutter speed. All in all, a superb image and well worth to win our February competition.”
I am SO honored to have been chosen the Winner with so many other awesome entries!
For what it is worth, I bought my current tripod, a Bogen (#3020), when I was about 18, which was over 30+ years ago, so I greatly look forward to trying out something more modern!
Thank you to the folks at landscapephotographymagazine.com and Manfrotto for this!

A new Kids Archaeology Game…
Get your kids to clean the family couch together!
Get them to identify the various objects found.
This game is also good in introducing kids to forensics.

It is another rainy day here in Chester County, so I decided to catch-up on an old mental project – Start to photograph my photography collect (cameras, trays, etc.).
Why not, I have been working on getting the studio back in order, so…
as you can see, I have used a few different ones over the years!
Now all I have to do, is add some story text to each camera…
