Wonderland, Images of Autumn in Yellowstone

Posted inMy Life,Nature and Landscapes,Personal Work1 comment

Hi everyone-

Last year I was asked to do a presentation about my trips to Yellowstone National Park for the York County Parks Department year end banquet and awards program. So I created this narrated video for the presentation.

It really is spoken from the heart and tells the story of the relationship between me, my family and one of the most amazing places on earth…. Wonderland.

The narration starts a few minutes into the video. I hope you take a bit of time from your day to explore this beautiful place with me.

Kim Hart - Nice Brian… I’m heading to “Wonderland” on the September 23 and will be there until the last Thursday in October. Hope to see you there. I understand what you are saying… both about the wonders of Yellowstone… and the wonderful friends I have met there. I am very lucky to get to spend 2 1/2 – 3 months there every year… but I wish I could spend more. See ya…

A Walk Through Time…

Posted inPersonal WorkNo comments

Each time I drive through South Dakota I wish I had more time to stop and spend a few hours at the 1800 Town in Murdo. This is a very cool reconstructed town filled with buildings and artifacts from the 1800′s.

Also at the the 1800 Town is a museum filled with memorabilia from the shooting of the Kevin Costner movie Dances With Wolves.

On my trip this past fall I had just enough time to stop and spend about an hour. Not really enough time but I had been driving the hours and the light was perfect. So I stopped and did the best I could with the short amount of time available to me.

If you are going to be traveling through South Dakota stop by the 1800 Town in Murdo and check it out. It’s a lot of fun. Here is the web address should you want to check it out: www.1880town.com 

Also included in this gallery are a few images from the Mount Rushmore area.

3 Days For A Cure…

Posted inMy Life,Personal Work1 comment

On a beautiful fall weekend my sister Beth and some of her friends participated in a three day 60 mile walk to raise money and awareness for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world’s largest source of non profit funds dedicated to ending breast cancer forever.

Our family has seen it’s fair share of the destructive power of cancer and my sister dedicated her walk to family members who have both lost and won their battles against this insidious disease.

My Aunt Mary or as we called her Mimi lost a long battle with breast cancer many years ago but her memory and kindness live on within each of us.

My Grandmother Mary and my Aunt Rosemary have both battled breast cancer and won. Their strength and dedication to life has been an inspiration to all who know them.

The family gathered at the Philadelphia Navy Ship Yard to see the last leg of the walk and to cheer Beth and her team on. It was a great day and I am so proud of her for chasing to do this walk and completing it with a strong finish!

Battle of Gettysburg, July 2011

Posted inPersonal Work,Street and CultureNo comments

Last summer I had the opportunity to attend two days of the re enactment of the Battle of Gettysburg over the 4th of July weekend. This was the first time I had ever been in town at this time and able to attend. I was pretty excited and didn’t really know what to expect. IN the end it was a lot of fun and the photographic possibilities were endless. The only downside was the heat. It was nearly 100 degrees each day and humid. I shouldn’t complain though as I was in a t shirt and shorts and many of the people you will see in the images were in wool including heavy coats.

Enjoy!

New Beginnings in Yellowstone National Park

Posted inNature and Landscapes,Personal Work3 comments

Spring is an exceptionally fun and beautiful time in Wonderland. As the park wakes up from its longest season, winter , some animals wake from slumber others bring new life in to the world.

From a photographic stand point, the park offers many opportunities as animals abound but it is also challenging to capture as the move about across areas of snow. Photographing dark animals on brightly colored snow is never an easy task.

As winter releases its hold on the region there are ample opportunities to watch the glory of new life learning the ways of the world as well as the drama of the hunt for that same new life by the parks predators.

There is no time that I do not enjoy in Wonderland but Spring is an exceptionally fun time to be in the park. I hope you enjoy some of the images from my trip to Yellowstone in the Spring of 2011.

Jimmy Jones - Hi Brian,

You have some great work here!
Looking through your Yellowstone galleries,it seems we were shooting the same things on more than one occasion. Maybe we’ll meet in the field someday.

Keep up the great work!
