When I knew I was heading to New Hampshire, I wanted to shoot this railway via drone; one could say that one-track mind. I had been training for this very shot for a while. A scheduling issue almost derailed the shoot, but we re-engineered our plans to get back on track. At first, I thought we missed the train; I was steamed. But as I was chugging my water, I heard it off in the distance. You could say I had tunnel vision as I set up my drone to fly. However, I felt run down because my antenna had snapped off; I used an old coat hanger. Luckily for me, the metal made a great conductor. There really was a light at the end of the tunnel for this shoot. BTW can you guess my crazy intention?
Shot with a Mavic 2

'm not afraid of heights, but I am fearful of hitting the ground extremely hard after falling off a high object.
When @marrrific and I got to the top of this cliff, the clouds were blocking the sun, and there was a light fog drifting over the rocks—perfect photography preventing precipitation. I decided to shoot the scale of the cliff but right before we took off, the sun burst out through the clouds creating these cool light streaks through the fog. It was only going to last a short time, so while flying the drone, I stepped up on the cliff edge to help give the shot some scale and snapped a few pics.
Now, if this cliff dropped straight to the ground, below I would not have stepped up there, but it had several ledges that I would have had to bounce off of on my way down, so I wasn't too worried. After all, I was wearing my thickest flannel shirt, which would have provided some padding on my way down.

I took a ride up to Maine to shoot the fall foliage. In true John O'Sullivan style, here is a shot of a lighthouse surrounded predominantly by evergreens.

If you were at BRC this past weekend, feel free to play Wears Waldo and locate your camp. Keep in mind that this is only one side of the city that showed up.

When the cop car passed in front of my lens, I thought the shot would probably be ruined, but I took it anyway. But now, the more I look at it… I kind of like the burly cop car there. What do you think?

I went for a walk with my sister on Block Island; you can see my shadow in the first shot. I figured I would test out a new lens by shooting at 120 Frames per second. Usually, I delete shots like this after I review them, but I kind of like how they came out.
BTW The walk wasn't this dramatic.. I think we were talking about how garage apartments on Block Island aren't allowed to have kitchens for some reason.... that might not even be a thing.

One problem with not having a travel buddy is that no one will say to you. "Hey, remember that time we pulled off the road in the middle of the night and slept in that graveyard?"
On more than one occasion, I've crossed the country in a Jeep that I temporarily converted into a makeshift RV.
I drove when I wanted to; I stopped when I wanted to and visited places I found interesting. I camped out in many random spots and chatted with people who notice a licensed plate 2000 miles from home.
Sometimes I'd get too tired to keep driving, and instead of locating a Campground, a Walmart, or a rest area to sleep, I'd find some parked truck drivers taking a nap and park near them.
I'd reply to my travel buddy, "I vaguely remember that. Were we in the graveyard or just next to it?"
My buddy would continue, "Oh, we drove right into it. You thought it was an abandoned rest area, and those blocks in the distance were the remains of some buildings. You used your parking lights as we pulled in as not to disturb those trucks."
The memory would come more into focus, and I'd remember that the trucks were still parked there in the morning, but no one appeared to be in them.
I'd tell my travel buddy, "Yeah, I am glad you were there. Otherwise, I might have felt a little uneasy."
My buddy would reply, “Me too. Imaging spending all that time alone? One might start talking to themselves”

In 2018, I was out in Death Valley waiting for the sun to rise, looking around for an interesting shot, when this couple walked into the area that I was going to shoot. I couldn't get mad at them for it; it's a wide-open desert, and frankly, it's wasn't much of a shot. They just stood in the frame holding hands, and I thought to myself, "it's sort of a cool pic now that they are in it." so I took a few frames.
When they walked back toward me, I told them that I got this cute-ish photo of them. I showed them the pic and explained that if they wanted it, I'd gladly email it to them. (after all, it's not like they hired me to shoot it) The wife (assuming it was his wife) was excited and started to give me her email. The husband cut her off and just asked for my card. The vibe that I got from the guy was that I just asked them if they wanted to extend their car's warranty. He took my card, folded it in half, and walked back to the parking lot with his wife. I thought to myself, "what a dick, I should delete that pic right now."
Months later, the guy did reach out and asked if I remembered who they were. Instead of saying anything back, I just sent over the JPG. In a follow-up email, the guy explained that he was now living overseas and that the photo I took captured one of his final days living in the states. In fact, my photo captured the very last sunrise he saw in the US. Lastly, he did apologize for being a little "off-putting". He explained that he was a little emotional that morning and didn't expect to talk to anyone.
I told him, “it’s fine and then sold him a new warrantee for his car. Sucker!!! I am joking of course, but it just goes to show, don't change who you are even if someone is a dick.... they might have a reason that has nothing to do with you. 🤓

Walkout into the desert during a new moon, and you will see more stars than you have ever seen. I remember the first time I ever saw the Milky Way with my own eyes, and I was well into my 30’s when I did. Unless there is another catastrophic blackout, no one will ever see the Milky Way in NYC… but wouldn’t it be cool if we could?

Tag someone you would want with you on a road trip into the middle of nowhere.... or the zombie apocalypse. Whichever comes first.
