I'm a tree hugger and I found this very old Cedar Tree in the Atsion Lake area in New Jersey Pine Barrens. Please visit and I would love to hear some comments.
Thank You Lou

The trip to Rancocass turned out to be a bummer. I was over run with mosquitoes and didn’t have the right gear for the jungle. I sadly aborted the trip after 3 tries with hopes of returning someday.
My forest bathing includes breath work mediation and some photography.
I start the breath work mediation and conclude after I have made a connection to mother natures world. Afterward I would start the walk and when mother nature called me, I stop and I capture a photo or two. I spend some time to analyze the communication and feelings.

After a long spell and a flight disaster I recovered and I'm happy to say I'm back in the air again. As technology changes we have to learn new tricks on how to process images.
This image is form one of my favorite places in the New Jersey Pine Barrens.

A nation that is premised on an idea—not on an alleged shared bloodline or eons of history on common acreage—is prone to periodically question exactly who and what it is. The matter that binds Americans, as much as any doctrine or document, is the pursuit of a definition of who Americans are. There are facile adjectives applied to us—optimistic, volatile, swaggering—but they more often seem to apply to pretensions that we wear before the world. Who we are in our unguarded moments, and even what portion of people are included in the word we, is another matter entirely.

I use to work at Lockheed Martin Corp in King of Prussia PA and spent all my free time in the Valley Forge National Historical Park.
Valley Forge National Historical Park is the site of a Revolutionary War encampment, northwest of Philadelphia, in Pennsylvania. Washington’s Headquarters, a stone house on the Schuylkill River, was occupied by George Washington from 1777 to 1778. Trails connect the key monuments and historic structures, including the early-20th-century National Memorial Arch

The Cedars are Dying Off like lots of things on this God forsaken planet, I hope people will see these images, like this and wake up before it’s too late. I can only hope and pray. I dug this one out of the archives and ran through Nik Silver Efex Pro and did a In-fared Red filter on the image which makes it more like what I felt while shooting this image.

I'm working on my cloud spaces and I got distracted, I guess my heads up in the clouds again.
Clouds are a good form to mediate on in my humble opinion.
Thanks for the visit, be well and don't forget to look up.
Be a good Lobster.

I have decided to re-visit old blog posts and add back stories and update images. I have 25 years of work and not yet motivated to hit the street. I hope to start on my street photography coffee table book soon. I hope you will stop by my blog and please leave some comments. i accept the good the bad and the ugly, only you can decide.

Back when shooting with Nikon D200 low light was an issue. So when buying equipment for the trip at Allen camera I received a great tip from one of the salesmen, I can’t remember his name said that remember to shoot in manual mode. This made all the difference in the world. I opted not to shoot a color card, I’m not sure why.
