A Monthly Journey Through My Lens

Each month I will be sharing a blog post that reflects the visual highlights of that month. This space will give you a deeper dive into the stories behind the photos I capture, whether it's landscapes, wildlife, city scenes, or everyday moments that inspire me. Through this blog, I want to share the beauty, emotion, and creativity that go into each shot.

Expect to see a mix of themes each month, depending on where my travels take me and the experiences I encounter. Whether it's a tranquil sunrise over the beach or a candid moment in a bustling city, each post will showcase the photos that stand out the most and provide some insights into how they were taken and the thought process behind them. I'll also include tips for fellow photography enthusiasts, touching on techniques, gear, and settings I use to capture the best shots.

This month, my focus was primarily on capturing the stunning sunrises along the coasts of Ocean City, Maryland, and Asbury Park, New Jersey. There's something magical about the way the early morning light plays on the water and sky, creating soft, pastel hues that shift into warmer tones as the sun rises. In Ocean City, I focused on the subtle beauty of the horizon meeting the Atlantic, with seagulls sometimes drifting into frame, adding a dynamic element to the scene. Asbury Park brought a slightly different vibe, with its iconic boardwalk providing interesting silhouettes as the sunlight filtered through the clouds.

Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes details about each photo as I continue to document my journey behind the lens. I’m excited to share this visual storytelling experience with you!

Check out this stunning panoramic shot of the sunrise over the Glen Riddle Bayside area here in Maryland. The peaceful marshlands, mirror-like water, and golden sky create the perfect start to the day. Absolutely loving these calm vibes from nature! Hope you all enjoy this little piece of morning serenity.

Here’s a vertical panoramic shot of the sunrise over the Glen Riddle Bayside area in Maryland. While this view is breathtaking even here on my blog, I have to say that the experiencing this picture in person is something else entirely! Since the image needs to be compressed to fit on the web, you're missing out on the finer details, like the individual blades of grass and the way the light touches the water. The high-resolution image reveals so much more! Still, I hope this gives you a glimpse of the serenity and beauty of this amazing place.

Captured a bittersweet moment this morning at the abandoned Beach Plaza Hotel—soon to be just a forgotten memory. I managed to take some photos of the sunrise from the second-floor balcony, a beautiful yet haunting reminder of what once was. I also took a 360-degree picture of the courtyard, giving a glimpse into its current state. It’s surreal to stand in a place that was once so full of life, now silent and waiting for its next chapter.

Captured an iconic view of the Ocean City Boardwalk at sunrise! The sky is painted with soft pastels as the Boardwalk’s famous archway welcomes a new day by the beach. The peaceful morning scene contrasts with the quiet work happening in the background as the team prepares the area for another fun-filled day. You can almost feel the fresh ocean breeze and hear the gentle waves in the distance.

As the temperatures begin to drop, Ocean City is settling into its peaceful, off-season charm. The summer crowds may be gone, but the beauty of this place only deepens. From the surf shop standing tall, ready for next season's waves, to the breathtaking sunrise casting a serene glow over the empty beaches, it's the perfect time to appreciate the tranquility. And of course, I couldn’t resist capturing a stunning drone shot of our coastline in its peaceful glory.

One of my favorite times of the year is finally here—fall mornings in Berlin! Each sunrise feels like a painting, and I've been lucky to capture some of those moments.

From the vibrant fall colors and the peaceful blanket of fog across the fields, to the long shadows stretching over the golden landscapes, these pictures hold a bit of the magic I experience every morning.

The calm and beauty of these sunrises remind me why I love this time of year so much.

This morning, I captured the stunning beauty of sunrise at The Links at Lighthouse Sound, featuring the longest golf cart bridge in the U.S.! The tranquil marshes stretched out beneath the bridge, and the golden hues of the early morning light made for a perfect backdrop. If you look closely, you can even see Ocean City, Maryland, in the distance. The peacefulness of the scene and the soft, rising sun made for a truly magical moment.

Here’s a glimpse of the incredible view — perfect way to start the day!

This morning, I captured an incredible sunrise walking down the Ocean City Maryland Inlet on the Assateague Island side. Watching the waves crash against the rocks with the sun rising over the ocean was nothing short of mesmerizing. The deep blue sky blending with the vibrant orange-yellow sun against the dark ocean backdrop felt peaceful and surreal.
