My 9 days at the Kutztown Folk Festival starts this Saturday (http://www.kutztownfestival.com/ ). This summer staple is always a fun time and draws an audience from around the region which can number over 100,000!
There will be a lot of early mornings in my future and 9-days of smelling funnel cake, but the opportunity to meet new customers, and see some previous ones as well, makes it all worth while.
One of the newer pieces that I will have at the show is this image – “House Finch”. It has become an image that I particularly like as it has many of the elements that I try to bring to my work. Much of my imagery that is about birds includes a good deal of habitat, some painterly selective focus, and soft light. The bird is relatively small in the frame but the composition still make it the clear point of interest. The photograph was made with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III camera with a Canon EF 500mm f4.0 L IS lens and a Canon TC1.4X on a Gitzo Tripod with a Foba Superball head and Wimberley Sidekick attached.
“House FInch” available as a 6.75 x 9.75 print matted to 11×14

Wish you much success, Paul!
It was so nice to meet and talk with you yesterday at the Festival. I shared your website with our daughter and she is so excited. Nature Photography is exactly what she is interested in. Thank you for taking the time to explain and share information with my Husband and I. Enjoy your week and may you have a very successful show!
Hope you have a great show. It sounds like fun. That photograph, the way the finch echoes the colors in the surroundings, great work.
