Over the years, I have learned ” Time Spent Equals Results Achieved”.
A good photographer leaves little to chance and luck, especially if he or she earns income from their work. I like to have control over as many variables as possible. In outdoor photography, this is not always possible since subjects as well as backgrounds are unpredictable. The one variable I do have under my control is my time and how many hours and how much effort I’m willing to put into a project.
The 70,00 acre Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area located on the border of New Jersey and Pennsylvania is one of the jewels of the national park system. The recreation area is an outstanding scenic area. The park includes 40 miles of the National Wild and Scenic Delaware River.
I teach many of my courses at Delaware Water Gap. Its an ideal location for capturing a wide range of images from old homes, abandoned farms, landscapes, macros, rural life subjects, waterfalls and wildlife. I know this park intimately. I have been photographing in the national recreation area for 25 years.
