My youngest has started travel soccer. Round one was a tournament in Norther VA which is really home of the massive data center. I should have done an entire photo series about those strange buildings standing amidst the strip malls which were former farms, which were former swamps. Maybe next time. I was able to […]

South Carolina Photos
I went with my mom to spread my dad’s ashes in South Carolina. He grew up there and the Woodward family has been in the area since white people first came around. We’ve still got a lot of relatives in the area. I lived in Columbia S.C. when I was in 4th-6th grade before I […]
Delaware Watergap and Dennis MA Photos
We camped at Dingmans Campground in PA’s Deleware Water Gap Recreational area. The trip from VA through PA led to some new roadside views. At the actual place, we did some hiking and two of us opted to swim in the pool created by this waterfall (which was much larger and cooler than it appears […]
Linocut III – The adventure continues
Unlike Remo Williams, I continue to honor my promises and produce sequels. While I haven’t actually printed anything recently, I have been doing more work in the realm of linocuts. In the real of practicing what I preach, here are many things that are not where I’d like them but are part of the process […]
Photography – Tennis mainly
I have never photographed tennis before. The actual setup of the courts created significant challenges and ones that I really wasn’t used to from soccer, football, field hockey, or even baseball (which does have plenty of fences). All the fences were very tall and many of them had the netting covering most of the surface. […]
Taking photos at events
I went and spoke to some students at my kids’ high school who are in the year book class and are going to do event photography. So I’ve been thinking quite a bit. Turns out there are a lot of things I wanted to talk about. I was pretty excited about doing this and perhaps […]
Cabaret 2026 at Trinity
I shot most of these with the 70-200 2.8. I used an electronic shutter so I wouldn’t disturb anyone with the constant clicking of the shutter. The shutter speeds were pretty slow (160-ish most of the time). I also played around a bit with some really slow shutter speeds and zooming in and out because […]
Photos from the Road in the Northeast
Normally, I’m photographing things headed down to Alabama. This year with son #2 playing football at Middlebury, we did a lot more driving around Vermont and I was occasionally riding shotgun with enough light to take some pictures. I can’t decide if I’d like to really slow down and take decent pictures or if driving […]
Sports Photography – Middlebury Football Home Game
After shooting mainly soccer for a chunk of time, I’ve had the chance to shoot two of James’s football games. I’m trying to get shots of most of the people and I’m mixing action shots with some shots that are closer to portraiture. Shooting for coverage really slows down editing as I keep far more […]

AI Lightroom and Claude Code Experiment
To see how it’d go, I used Claude Code to see if I could make a Lightroom Classic plugin to auto-tag photos with visible jersey numbers using the Google Gemini API. Adobe uses Lua as a scripting language. It did end up working but it took quite a while and, in general, I feel mostly […]
