Photography is magic

Photography freezes a moment in time, a moment that will never happen again in that exact way. Without it, those moments will eventually be forgotten. With it, we can always remember being backstage with Johnny Cash, the smile of a newborn baby, that time the cat knocked everything off the counter, or the exact way the light struck the George Washington Bridge, even if we weren’t there when it happened. That moment has been captured forever and can be shared with everyone.

If that’s not magic, I don’t know what is.

I haven't actually been to Rickett's Glen since 2021, and I think I'm long overdue. I have so many wonderful pictures from the place, and I wasn't even there very long. I need to make it a point to go back. Soon. #waterfalls #water_perfection #be
Honestly, I'm not sure what appeals to me so much about this picture. Maybe it's the symmetry? Or the clean lines? The reflected colors? I'm not sure. If you like it, let me know what you like about it... #nyc #newyorkonly #YesNY #hvmag #just_n
I don't know what else I can add to a caption here. I think the bird speaks for itself.... #hummingbird #best_birds_of_ig #bestbirdshots #best_birds_photography #best_birds_of_world #your_best_birds #allmightybirds #birds_private #safarigallery #be
Seems like macro shots of flowers aren't really my audience's thing. That's okay. For today, let's go back to animals. And when it comes to animals, everyone loves babies, right? Here's an adorable little gosling that I came upon back in May. In
I was recently brought to a peony farm and figured, while I was there, I might as well play around with some macro photography. The inner structure of these flowers is really quite fascinating and could almost serve as an alien landscape. #flowers
