Looking back at 2012: the year in review
2012 is over, over a week past us now, and we’re back online here. Which means it’s time to begin the retrospective, take a look back across this last trip around the sun, and try to figure out just what the hell went on. It was a good year, overall. It saw a lot of [...]
Off to a slow start
It’s almost halfway through January already, and I’ve only taken the cameras out once to shoot some frames while hiking. Still don’t have the “best of” of posts up here like I was supposed to, oh, a week ago. We’re off to a slow start here at TRP in 2013. Why, you ask? Well, if [...]
Happy holidays! – and we’re back!
A very happy (and belated) holidays to all! I know that the big days have both passed, but I still wanted to put it out there for my readers, along with the hope that they were filled with good friends and good times. And with that, we’re back here at TRP. It was a much-needed [...]
Under the weather
I’ve been sick as hell since Monday. Might be the sickest I’ve ever been. Pretty sure it’s the flu, with some other crap as a chaser. So suffice to say, I haven’t been taking photos or writing posts. (I’ve barely gotten out of bed.) At this point, between my recovering and the holidays, there won’t [...]
News from the other site
Just wanted to share a couple of posts from my other website, Brent Pennington: Photographer. Click the image above to read the posts: the first is a postcard that the PA Parks & Forests Foundation made for the holidays from my winning entry in their photo contest. The second is “The Moth Project” at The [...]
All over the place
Missed several posts lately. Wish I hadn’t, but it’s just a result of life in general – been kind of all over the place, and for that matter so has the weather. When I’ve had time, it’s been raining/hailing/plague of locusts outside and when it’s been nice, I’ve been busy. Murphy’s Law, or something like [...]
Happy Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is probably my favorite holiday of the year. It’s dedicated to friends and family, to being at home where it’s warm and comfortable, enjoying company and telling stories. There’s some carrying on and always laughter. And it’s good to be thankful, because there’s a lot to be thankful for. Me, I’m thankful for great [...]
November Astrophotograpy
Last Friday night was the final session in Keystone Observatory’s autumn series; the program won’t resume until spring, so until then I’ll have to find other sites when I want to shoot the night sky. But fortunately this final evening at the observatory had the dual benefits of being both reasonably warm (or at least [...]
Happy All Hallows
Here’s wishing a spooky All Hallow’s, Dia de los Muertos, happy harvest, or just tons of candy to all my readers. However you celebrate this holiday, I hope that you’re having fun with it!

Searching for autumn
Autumn, as a season and as the elements that make it up, is fleeting. Transitory, arriving with subtly until suddenly you realize it’s really here, and then just a couple of weeks later it’s passed, always fading out faster than you remember. Then the hillsides are brown and it’s simply winter, or pre-winter, or whatever [...]
