Hello, My name is Gene. I live in the Susquehanna river valley (West Branch), in the mountains of north central Pennsylvania. I strive to produce photographic images that are simply “true” to the subject, usually with minimal post processing. If something is beautiful or interesting enough to deserve a viewer’s attention, it justifies being captured just as it is …or as close to reality as possible.

Cuteness doesn’t barely cover this, Gene! Well done portrait of this beautiful little person!
Thank you so kindly, Maureen! She’s my great niece, Ava. She wasn’t really very happy about this little photo session, but with a bit of patience, I was able to catch this one precious shot of her.
All my best,

Thank you so much, Bob!
