Monthly Photos
Monthly history, New Hampshire White Mountains. One of the more interesting ways to look at history is from a monthly viewpoint. While some historical events, such as the creation of the White Mountain National Forest on May 16, 1918, still benefits us today, many have been forgotten about. This work focuses on historical events that happened during each month of the year.
August – White Mountains, New Hampshire
Franconia Notch - White Mountains, New Hampshire Five images from the month of August - I have spent most of this month working the business side of photography, but did manage ten days in the field. I will not bore you with the business side details. I lucked out this month and scheduled all my shooting on perfect days. Most months I shoot in poor light conditions, so August has been a real treat ...
July, White Mountains
East Branch of the Pemigewasset River - Lincoln, New Hampshire July, White Mountains - This month in the White Mountains of New Hampshire has been wild! Last month we dealt with dreary, rainy overcast days and now for most of this month we have been dealing very humid weather. I can't wait to see what August brings ...
Scenes of June, White Mountains
Mount Deception - Carroll, New Hampshire Scenes of June, White Mountains - The month of June in the White Mountains has been interesting. I am not sure where to start, the rain or the overcast days. We are currently stuck in a dreary weather pattern that is making many question if the summer season is going to be washout. I hope not, but realize anything is possible when it comes to mother nature. Even with the poor weather I did ...
May – White Mountains, New Hampshire
Franconia Notch State Park - Lincoln, New Hampshire Scenes of May, White Mountains - This month I spent a great deal of time photographing brooks and rivers. The waterfalls in the White Mountains of New Hampshire have looked incredible this year! Locations I have visited dozens of times have looked better than ever this year. Heres a few images from this month ...
April, White Mountains
East Branch of the Pemigewasset River - Lincoln, New Hampshire April, White Mountains - I find April to be one of the more challenging months to produce imagery. The landscape is usually covered in "dirty snow", making it tough to produce clean looking imagery. Nothing drives me crazier than a beautiful mountain scene with dirty snow in the foreground! Yes, I'm complaining some but know many photographers can relate to this issue ...
Scenes of March, New Hampshire
Swift River - White Mountains, New Hampshire Scenes of March, New Hampshire - During March I spent a few days shooting along the Kancamagus Scenic Byway in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. I wanted to shoot a few locations along the Byway that have eluded me over the years, but was mainly interested in the Passaconaway settlement. Just like January and February, March had a few snowstorms that created breathtaking snowscapes. To be in a forest after a snowstorm ...
February, New Hampshire
Franconia Notch State Park - Lincoln, NH February, New Hampshire - When shooting for the ScenicNH Photography archive I find self assignments and a little direction to be very beneficial. On top of my everyday shooting, I try to focus on one subject every month that is connected to the environment. Examples of past subjects I have focused on include extreme weather, backcountry camping impact, and trail stewardship. This approach has allowed me to build an extensive, marketable and profitable ...
January, White Mountains
East Branch of the Pemigewasset River - Lincoln, NH January, White Mountains - I have been right out straight this month and haven't had anytime to update the blog with new posts. And it looks like I have a full shooting schedule the remainder of the month, so here are a few shots from the last few weeks. The on and off dustings of snow here in the White Mountains of New Hampshire have made for some great snowscapes! Make ...
