Click here for a chronological listing of galleries. Welcome to my part of the web dedicated to on-the-go photos written with light from our State Parks. My goal is to visit each of Pennsylvania's State Parks, and record the light in photographs, and perhaps some thoughts in a blog. This is not likely to find a large following of web surfers, although it will certainly be a good place to find all of the links to PA State Parks. But so is google. This website is likely, then, to serve only one purpose, and that is to remind me, through visual stimuli and the written word, some of the feelings I experience while roaming through the state parks in Pennsylvania. If you have found your way here, and are still with me, then I hope you can share some of those feelings. The Galleries link on the left panel of every page will take you to my choicest photos from the trek, unless you choose one of the slide-out options. Clicking on the PA State Parks button below will take you to the page listing each of the PA state parks that I've photographed. You can also find links regarding each state park on the same page. The Other Parks button will link you to a similar page of state parks in any other state I may be fortunate enough to visit, as well as local and national parks I get to enjoy along the way. So ParksPhotos is sort of a photo album that's not hard to find, and one which you don't have to lug around to enjoy. Way to go, Humankind, we're making progress! Wouldn't it be ironic to one day learn that we humans always had the ability to communicate all of the same information conveyed on the Internet with merely the use of our brains? Sure would have saved us a lot of time and money, not to mention our accumulating piles of useless machinery. If it is possible, there is probably some near insurmountable obstacle that we collectively must conquer. Something like ridding our selfs of greed, and adopting a giving attitude. On most of the excursions my friend Jim Pattison travels with me, and other friends and photographers will also join us. Many trips I'm accompanied by my wife Barb. She started making some her own photos, and I feel they really give a great feel of the places we visit, so we set up BarbarasPhotos.com to celebrate our times together. As implied, in addition to the photos the domain name infers, there will be a blog of some sort where... well, who knows what I'll talk about? To find out, click on the Bloggin' The Trek button. And to see when I was there, click on the Trek Calendar. Click on the Light Writer PIX button to be taken to my main website that houses all of the other photos. Although my goal here is to visit each of Pennsylvania's State Parks and capture moments through on-the-go photography*, I'll try not to miss an opportunity to do the same at some local and national parks along the way.

*on-the-go (or otg) photography is a phrase I stole from Phillip Tulin, a wonderful photographer and human being whom I met through his Outdoor Eyes website. To me it means packing up some camera gear and heading off on the trail (wherever that may be, wherever it may lead), and capturing light whenever it feels right. You kind of just let go, and let the moment direct you. National Parks Foundation National Parks Conservation Association Sierra Club |
