The Photographer

Hi, I'm Greg Molyneux, a shy landscape and nature photographer living in coastal New Jersey—Exit 63 if Parkway numbers are your thing. When I'm not outside capturing nature I partake of the coffee and internet a lot. Naps are cool too.

Layers

June 9, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

100mm low key macro photo of a layered peony flower blossom.

Life is layers. Time passes and we add layers to mark our lived experiences—good and bad. Conversely, during our lives we peel back the layers built up by others. This is how relationships build. Peonies depict the concept of layers perfectly. Endless layers make up the big beautiful blossoms as a metaphor for life.

Open Season

June 5, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

35mm low key photo of a peony blossom, bokeh, and whitespace.

To make photography you must make time for photography. With my photo making pace quickened, it’s open season on the great bloom of flowers this spring. Here I bring singular focus to a lone peony photographed in shimmering light, opening its flower petals to the world.

Hit the Pavement

June 1, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo made at street level on an asphalt road surface between double yellow lines.

Get low. You will come across this command often in your development as a shooter. It is especially common for us plying our trade in the landscape photography niche. Get low. Get the shot. Get the viewer in. Throwing a quick and dirty best guess out into the universe, I would ballpark I make some […]

Hats Off

May 29, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

100mm low key macro photo of a string of lily of the valley flowers with smooth bokeh.

Art imitates life, and in my longing for youthful imagination I want to think lily of the valley flowers served as creative impetus for the bowler hat. This is patently ridiculous surely, yet I would love to believe it so. In the meantime I will photograph and I will imagine.

Plane of Remembrance

May 27, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle sunset photo over salt marsh and oxbow water flow with two white egrets standing in the water feeding.

Look upon a sunset. A dramatic end to a day well lived. No two sunsets are the same, unique and personal as is each lived existence. So, too, is it for our heroes that sacrificed all. An early setting of life sacrificed in the most glorious of terms. Sanguine colors of blood and sacrifice to ensure beauty and peace in all our sunsets to come.

On the Side of Light

May 22, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

14mm wide angle HDR sunset photo featuring salt marsh, storm clouds, and anticrepuscular rays.

Making time to visit nature and take it all in reduces stress and restores the soul. It’s made better when you capture the drama of a perfect salt marsh sunset coupled with newborn marsh grass, storm clouds, and anticrepuscular rays. It’s better still when it’s your first sunset photographs in months.

Waiting on the Winds of Change

May 18, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

35mm photo of a puffy dandelion seed head set atop grass.

Photographing dandelions sparks memories of childhood, perspective, and change. For many kids, dandelions hold a source of wonder, imagination, and play. Yet by adulthood the dandelion devolves to the status of weeds. The good news is there is always time for us to better our perspective.

Lilac Boon

May 15, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

35mm low key photo of lilac blossom with its leaves, white space, and bokeh.

Few scents infuse the soul with the richness of lilac. It’s delicious perfume is only matched by the beauty of its floral blossoms. This photograph combines the lilacs appeal to both our sense of sight and smell. It is a gateway to breath and meditation.

Cast Adrift

From moody wisteria macro photos, to old colleagues, to baseball blogs, to the ending of three of the biggest pop culture franchises of our generation, photographer Greg Molyneux bounces through a litany of thoughts. Come for the photographs and stay for the musings.

Heartstrings

April 30, 2019 by Greg Molyneux

100mm macro photo of a multiple bleeding heart flowers hanging from its stem.

Bleeding Hearts (dicentra) are a captivating plant and make a wonderful macro photography subject. Dicentra’s unique, flower shaped blossoms with the tear drop bottom hold special allure for this photographer as a connection to the beloved Legend of Zelda series.
