A Rockport road trip is just what I needed. With two knees surgeries and horrible weather patterns, last year just didn’t work for a photography road trip. I love photo road trips; they’re good for the soul. It’s getting away from home, your routine, and your cell phone. More importantly, just spending time doing photography…

An invitation for the curious is how I like to think of old, abandoned buildings. This is especially true for those with character. They stir our imagination and make us curious about them. Why was it abandoned? What’s the story of the people that lived, or worked, or worshipped here? Where did all the people…
