The Piker Press publishes my photo of some stragely darkened hills in Woodbridge, Virginia

The Piker Press today featured what might be my favorite photo of mine — a shot of a mid-afternoon Northen Virginia neighborhood that was suddenly and virtually eclipsed by heavy clouds racing over the area.

It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen, and I happened to be there at just the right time. You can see the photo right here.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of the creative community of The Piker Press!

Me: “I would Chase Oliver but I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught him.”
