First Light, From Devil’s Knob

Caught this yesterday morning in Wintergreen. A few minutes of perfect light across the Blue Ridge.

Spring before the green.

Stopped by Tattoo Mountain on March 11 while I was next door at Waynesboro Innovation Hub shooting headshots and caught part of their 1-year anniversary with the Augusta County Chamber of Commerce.

Grabbed a few photos while I was there, definitely planning to come back and get something done.

Made it up to Wintergreen Resort this past Saturday for the annual pond skimming event. Costumes, wipeouts, and a few impressive skim attempts across the water made for a fun day on the mountain.

I shared a few photos here. There should be more uploaded to the gallery throughout the week, along with a 360 video from the event.

Waynesboro, Virginia.

I looked out the window and saw this Chickadee in the backyard. I love how they puff up in the cold. They move fast and don’t stay long, so I was lucky to grab this when I could.

The Plunge Trailhead, Wintergreen.
A fun hike and definitely a little dangerous after a fresh snow. This was Saturday’s view toward Three Ridges, with clouds hanging over the mountains on the left.

Statons Creek Falls, 10.18.2025. The coordinates I had were almost a mile off, so I spent a while driving around trying to find the right pull-off. Worth it though. Shot on the Canon R8 with the RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro STM — 1/10 sec, f/6.3, ISO 320.

Almost heaven, Blue Ridge Mountains,
Shenandoah River, winding as it flows.
Waterfalls are singing, misty morning valleys,
Humpback Rocks are calling, that’s the place I know.

Shot this weathered Massey Ferguson on my in-laws’ land with the Canon FTb after fixing the light seals. This was also my second time developing color film at home, Fujifilm 200.

I really need to close down the aperture so I get more of it in focus. Playing with my 50mm at f1.4 doesn't work all the time.
