A little taste of home…
A picture from my first trip to Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It wasn´t until this past summer that I finally made it there. I devoured a Luger burger, sipped Thai iced coffee and saw too many people wearing jeans that were waaay too tight.

Rather than deal with Turnpike traffic, obnoxious crowds and boisterous BBQs, I spent my 4th of July weekend in New Paltz, NY with a few buddies. Just a little over an hour from my house we found scenic views, peaceful trails, thundering waterfalls, delicious wine and free whiskey. New Paltz is a little college town [...]
My dad’s a big nature and photography buff so for Father’s Day I took him to the Lakota Wolf Preseve in Columbia, NJ. The preserve is home to Tundra, Arctic and Timber wolves, as well as bobcats and foxes. The preserve offers special photo sessions, which allow serious photographers unobstructed views of the wolves, but [...]
