Last week I took a trip over to Peaks Island to explore an abandoned WW2 military base. A quick 15-minute or so ferry ride from Portland Maine, this place is so picturesque and peaceful I would recommend it to anyone who just wants to get away from all and feel like they are in a secluded location without a huge amount of travel if you’re in the Portland Maine area.

Battery Steele is a massive place with an almost endless parade of graffiti. Some parts of it are flooded out. The more adventurous could likely explore these areas but I didn’t want to risk damage to my camera equipment. I plan on making another trip likely in the spring of 2024 where I will explore some of the more treacherous rooms. Until then check out some of the photos I took below.

More of my photography can be accessed via my Instagram account here.

I purchased a drone late last year. I have long wanted to get into shooting video with a drone and decided it was time to buy one. I quickly realized that a gimbal is a must-have if you want to shoot smooth gliding footage. A drone without a gimbal can do well for photos but not video. When the weather improves I hope to get outside often with my new purchase and see what I can accomplish with it. For now, here is a very quick test flight over West Kennebunk Maine.

I managed to take many photos in 2020 despite the coronavirus restrictions to our lives. Below is a short slideshow of photos that I think are my best over the past year.

I am venturing back into art. It’s usually a winter pastime for me on those dark nights where you need something to fill your time. But I recently got inspired watching youtube videos of other artists and figured I would start to crank out a new piece of art every week
