Scott Sternbach Photography After retiring from a rewarding career as a cardiovascular technologist, I found a new passion behind the lens.

Based in Wayne County, PA, I spend my days chasing waterfalls and capturing the quiet beauty of nature's hidden gems.

This drawdown year at Lake Wallenpaupack has given me the opportunity to explore a landscape that normally sits beneath the water—and as a photographer, it’s absolutely fascinating.
With my camera in hand, I’ve been roaming the newly exposed shoreline, walking areas I’ve never been able to reach before. From behind the Visitor Center to along Lakeshore Drive near Rockledge, every step seems to reveal something new.
What was once underwater is now a completely different world—exposed rocks, old shoreline features, textures, patterns, and little pieces of the lake’s hidden landscape that most of us rarely get to see.
It’s almost like the lake is telling a different story this year.
For me, this is what photography is all about: getting out there, exploring, discovering something unexpected, and capturing a moment in time that may not be seen again for years.
I can’t wait to see what else I discover along the shoreline. There’s a whole new landscape waiting to be photographed.

oday and every day, we remember and honor the incredible bravery, sacrifice, and dedication of the firefighters of the FDNY, including the crews of Marine Company 1 out of Pier 53. We will never forget the heroes who selflessly answered the call on September 11, 2001, and those who continue to protect our waters and city today. 🇺🇸

The Labor Day weekenders have officially headed home, leaving behind a perfectly still, quiet Lake Wallenpaupack. Caught the most incredible sunset tonight with my camera. It’s amazing how different parts of the lake tell entirely different stories—fiery orange and violet over the open water, and soft, pastel pinks tucked away in the coves. The peace after the holiday rush hits differently. Here are a few shots from party cove, Grassy beach, Woodland Hills 🌲📷

There’s something incredible about seeing Lake Wallenpaupack when the water begins to draw down.
For a short time, the lake reveals a landscape that normally sits hidden beneath the water—old shoreline, exposed rocks, forgotten structures, pathways, and details that most of us never get the chance to see.
For me, this is more than just a drawdown… it’s an opportunity.
I’ll be walking the areas that are normally underwater with my camera in hand, looking for those unusual perspectives and forgotten pieces of the lake’s story. Every exposed rock, weathered surface, and remnant of what once was has the potential to become a photograph.
There’s something special about photographing a familiar place when it suddenly becomes unfamiliar.
I’m looking forward to exploring, discovering, and documenting this temporary landscape before the water returns and hides it all again

There’s something special about Callicoon. Steeped in Catskills history, this little town still holds onto the charm of another time.
Take a drive down the back roads and you never know what you’ll discover—a weathered barn, an old farmhouse, or even a 1953 camper bus sitting quietly among the forgotten treasures of yesterday. For a photographer, these are more than old things… they’re pieces of history waiting to be captured.
From its historic Main Street to the quiet country roads, Callicoon has a way of slowing you down and reminding you that sometimes the best photographs—and the best stories—are found where time seems to stand still. 📷🍂

A Tribute to Dolly Parton — An Icon Beyond the Music ✨
Some people become famous.
Some become legends.
And then there’s Dolly Parton.
Dolly was so much more than a country music superstar. She was an icon, a storyteller, a songwriter, an entertainer, and above all, a genuinely remarkable human being.
For generations, her music has made us laugh, cry, dance, remember, and dream. From Jolene to 9 to 5, I Will Always Love You and countless other unforgettable songs, Dolly has created a soundtrack to so many lives.
But what made Dolly truly special is what exists beyond the stage. Her kindness, generosity, humility, and willingness to give back have touched millions of people. She has never forgotten where she came from, and she had used her success to help others find their own path.
As an artist/photographer, I’m fascinated by people who become larger than life while somehow remaining completely relatable. Dolly has that rare quality. Her smile, her voice, her unmistakable style, and her story are instantly recognizable anywhere in the world.
So this is my tribute to Dolly Parton — a woman who proved you can dream big, work hard, stay true to yourself, and still have a heart big enough to lift others along the way.
Thank you, Dolly, for the music, the memories, the laughter, and the inspiration.
Some stars shine brightly for a moment.
Dolly Parton has been lighting up the world for generations. 🌟
