Chris Neel Photography The story in a well-crafted photograph can be different for every viewer, and this is what I strive to create.

Like the rabbit hole in Alice in Wonderland, I use my camera to open up an unexplored world that is all around us; a place where time slows down, and our imagination takes over. Time is fleeting, and photography is a magical tool that helps us make time stand still. I use longer shutter speeds to display the passage of time, sometimes rekindling stories from my past, sometimes looking towards the

future. Using my photography, I allow myself to let go of the present, and immerse myself into the story that is unfolding around me.

My Brother, Dusty, invited me up to see a demonstration of some of the weapons systems of the worlds greatest Army. The demonstration was held on Aberdeen Proving Ground. The first test rounds were fired there in 1918, and they continue to help ensure our modern war fighters receive the best equipment available. Keep up the good work! I had a great time watching the demonstration, and I hope everyone will enjoy some of the photos that I was able to capture.

This great blue heron gave a master class in catching crappie this evening. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a photo of him with the crappie still in his mouth, but I did catch this portrait of him once he cleared most of the brush.

Stopped by the James River after work and ran into this cormorant hunting for shad, like all of the people in all of the boats. Unfortunately I don't think any of them found very many today.

Went down to the Flood wall in Richmond yesterday. Found this mockingbird hanging out on the fence. I feel like he's trying to say something, but I'm not sure what it is. Any ideas?

Hello friends and neighbors, I hope that everyone had clear skies last night, and was able to get out and enjoy the last full lunar eclipse we will see for more than two years! If you weren't able to see it, here is what I saw. The ability to see the stars directly surrounding a full moon is certainly a site to see!
