Fall pass
How can you photograph fall with very few leaves turning? Ah. A human induced fall backdrop, courtesy of Art Start and the St. Rose and West End Historical Districts on Saturday. I can see a fall weather photo in the future. -Kent Porter
Now that’s a cloud
Sky watcher I am. My head is either in a cloud or behind a camera. When I can find a way to combine the two, my inner weather geekdom is happy. The cumulus build-up has been pretty incredible the last few days over forests way to the north. At any [...]
Harvest moon
Summer is waning. Well, it feels like it's waned all season anyway so why get depressed? However, did you know that September usually gives us record high temperatures? Fear not, hot weather fanatics, 11 days remain in the calendar year of summer. For those that revel in what the fall [...]
Photographic reset

Dairy farmer Mike Moretti was the subject, for an upcoming story in the Sunday Press Democrat. So I hung around for a few hours because the light was really nice and Moretti works very [...]
Apple a day
I wanted to post these last week. However, work got in the way. Here are a few frames from the Gravenstien Apple Fair in Sebastopol, August 13, 2011. -Kent Porter
Take my picture, please
Most if not all domesticated animals are pretty curious, especially when a stranger is about. 'Twas the case a few days ago with some goats. Everyone is looking for their 15 minutes of fame. -Kent Porter
Cat rescue
When I first got in to this photojournalism thing, I ran across a series of photos in News Photographer magazine- 27 years ago- of a cat being rescued from a tree by firefighters. The photos were pretty amusing. Up until Wednesday (Aug. 24) I'd never seen anything remotely resembling a [...]
