The Lodge From Beetlejuice – Photophile Musings
Amidst the medley of memories etched in the celluloid tapestry of time, this snapshot of a storied edifice stands in its resplendent glory.

Yonder Hills Beyond the St. Croix
This photo was taken by me at Brooks Bluff Cottages one afternoon in 2007, overlooking the St. Croix River in Robbinston, Maine. While I took quite a few photos looking across the river to New Brunswick, Canada, I chose to highlight this one in particular. Thanks to the hills in the background, this was a […]
A Blue Evening – Photophile Musings
This photo was taken by me at Brooks Bluff Cottages one evening in 2007, overlooking the St. Croix River in Robbinston, Maine. I took it because the entire world looked just as blue as you see it here, and fortunately, at age twenty, I had the presence of mind that this was a shot worth […]

When we arrived after a three-hour trip, it appeared a small, unassuming outbuilding, but inside were a grand variety of obscure curiosities. I’ve never seen so […]
