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 [...]
NYC at Christmastime
I’m back from the Big Apple, that crazy city on the island that thinks it’s the center of the universe. It was part two of my bi-yearly pilgrimage, brought on by a combination of Mandy’s asking to go, and cheap tickets on a bus chartered by a friend’s family. Not having to drive makes it [...]
Thanksgiving morning in Vermont
A surprising number of my holidays start this way – out in the cold, roving around a lake or through the woods, usually by myself. And maybe that sounds a little undesirable but really it isn’t. There’s something nice about starting the day off peacefully. And I love being outside at sunrise when the world is [...]
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 [...]
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!

Simple Clicks – 4th of July moments
I started the 4th with the idea that I’d shoot a photo essay throughout the day, focusing entirely on detail shots. Because it’s a day made up of fine details, all the little things that come together to equal Independence Day celebrations. Hot dogs, BBQ, cold drinks, pinwheels, sparklers, flags on everything… Alas, the best [...]
Heroes long gone
With Independence Day only hours away, it seems fitting to take a moment and give credit to some of this nation’s heroes of ages past. While out shooting with Paul yesterday, we were finishing up at the Tunkhannock Viaduct when he mentioned that Stephens Cemetery was just up the road and contained a number of [...]
Parade Day, Scranton
Parade Day has come and gone and, for the first time since living in Scranton, I can actually say that I was right there in the thick of it. I like parades. I mean honestly, who doesn’t? This was something else entirely, however. This was the big kahuna of parades, the parade to end all [...]
Merry Christmas
It’s Christmas, the time for tradition and notsalgia. The halls are decked, the mistletoe is hung, and there’s a wreath on every steam engine…er, door. Here’s wishing you all a warm, happy holiday filled with good friends, family, and cheer! In celebration, I’ll be taking a few days off from the blog. I may still [...]
It’s a lamp!
Saw this while we were driving around looking at Christmas lights around the city. I had to ask Mandy to pull over so I could get a photo – it’s not everyday you see one of these in a window! “Holy smokes. Do… Do you know what this is? This is… A lamp!” -Mr. Parker, [...]
