The umbrellas of the West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival. A very soggy festival weekend this year didn't stop people from having a great time, and gave me the opportunity to do a classic street photography project, using umbrellas as a theme.

For the next couple of months, my photography attention will turn to capturing Mother Nature's annual spectacular show here in West Virginia. I hope you'll like the beautiful autumn colors like only our beautiful state can do!

You can almost smell and taste this photo! Just a couple more days until the West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival kicks off! I will be downtown most of Thursday, Friday, and Saturday photographing Clarksburg's biggest event! Of course, I will be taking images using my digital Sony mirrorless cameras, but for the first time I will also be doing some 35mm film photography using a vintage Canon camera and lens, as well as some drone photography! It should be a fun, and busy, three days! Hope to see you downtown!

It's September 1st, the first day of meteorological autumn! Unfortunately, it's going to be in the 90s the next couple of days. Who's ready for some cooler temps and Mother Nature's most spectacular show? We are fortunate here in Clarksburg to have so many beautiful places close by to view the autumn colors! Where is your go to spot to see the leaves? 🍁

It's West Virginia Italian Heritage Festival week here in Clarksburg! I'll be downtown most mornings this week photographing the banners, the set-up, and the actual event this weekend! Looking forward to a week full of fun, food, and photography...and the best part is that Main Street isn't a tripping hazard this year!

What is your favorite building in Clarksburg? I get asked all of the time what my favorite building to photograph is, and without a doubt, the old Coca Cola Bottling Works building in the historic Glen Elk neighborhood is my favorite. Unfortunately, there is a big dumpster in front of the building right now, but I've been able to get some good images of it over the last couple of years. In fact, I have a large, framed picture of it (different from this one) hanging in my own home! Follow for more Clarksburg and WV photography and videos. Feel free to share with your family and friends!
