EARLY NOVEMBER

Penn State Campus Scenes

This image was created on an early November morning. November traditionally has some of the most beautiful skies of the year. The sun had lit up Old Main beautifully and was complimented by a gorgeous blue sky. The auburn leaves in the foreground add intensity and I also waited for the man in the brief case and official looking dress coat to walk into the scene and be framed between two columns of Old Main.

The Lion

This image took me three years to capture. It was taken on an overcast December morning as I was on my way to the 1997 Football Banquet. As soon as I saw the final result, I knew I had a print that would stand through time. Notice the light around the eye and the granite base below the chin. I took the image as I would pose a human in a profile, utilizing the light at a 45 degree angle to the right.

Nittany Lion Inn

This popular image showcases the original side of the Nittany Lion Inn. The soft, muted colors of the leaves on an overcast October day lend a serene atmosphere to the most popular social gathering spot on the campus.

Prices the same as University Park Snow Scene below

Early Spring

It was the first day of Spring 2001 and I was driving home to Philadelphia when the snow started. I knew that I could get an interesting image of Old Main, so I turned around and set up my tripod in the mud. I saw the girl in the yellow umbrella coming from the left and waited for five minutes until she reached the position to the right of the flag. It adds a little color to an otherwise dreary day.

University Park Snow Scene 2004

This image is by far the most popular one I have ever created on campus. It was January 2004 and there was an 18-inch snowfall. I had stayed the night to wait for the opportunity to photograph the campus during and after the snow. To create this image, I waited until the snow stopped. If I had waited another 2 hours there would be no snow on the branches and the image would have lost all its drama. A scene like this might not occur for another ten years.

See how it looks over a fireplace mantle.

See it framed.

OCTOBER, Fall 1993

Taken in late October morning, this image has remained as one of my most popular . Old Main is framed by the Auburn leaves in the foreground, creating a striking three dimensional look.
