I had a lot of fun in Salem with Carin watching the fireworks!
I just placed an ad with Knot/Wedding Channel and cannot wait for it to go live.
I had the pleasure of shooting the wedding of Elizabeth and John yesterday. They had a small small wedding in Winthrop. I am just starting to look at the pictures now but here are a few of my favorites.
My little girl Carin was such a good girl this week. On Tuesday she had several odontomasremoved from the left side of her mouth. They are all because of the neurofibromatosis that she has. (she got it from me)
Here is a picture of her trying to punch my crackberry before her surgery.
Carin was so brave. This was not just minor oral surgery. They had to do this in an OR at Children’s Hospital.
Carin has a couple more follow ups to make sure everything is healing ok. (So far so good)
That is why I am donating 10% of all of my photography income to www.ctf.org
I splurged and bought myself a new lens a NIKKOR 10.5mm f/2.8G. I just apsolutly love it! Here are some images that I took with it.
Yes I know I should have cleaned up first.
Here is the room again but clean. (minus the Kevin the Cat)
This is so Carin it is not even funny.
Some cheese I got for some family that came over to visit.
These first two images are of the Strong National Museum of Play. The hotel were wse stayed gave us free passes. Carin had so much fun. (It is the perfect place for a hyper-active kid to go)
That afternoon, we went to the cemetery to see Tiffany’s family plot. (plus I did some scoping and found this cross that was screaming to be photographed.)
Two more images from my hike around Rochester.
An old restaurant that Tiffany’s family use to love. They are now closed. (Otherwise we would have had chinese atleast twice while out ther)
And no trip to Rochester would be complete without a trip to Parkleigh
My family just got back from a long weekend in Rochester , NY. It was a very nice weekend and we enjoyed it a lot. My wife got to see some old friends that she has not seen in years.
I did get a chance to take some personal images while I was there and here are my two favorite so far.
They are both of the Chase building in downtown Rochester. (more images to follow)
I am on vacation this week and went up to Newburyport to take some pictures and have some me time.
I would love to be able to move up to Newburyport but it is not in the cards, for now.
Yesterday I took Carin to Calumet to purchase some studio lighting. I purchased the Calumet Travelite 1500ws Two-Head Umbrella Kit and 24 X 32 soft box. I was able to play around with it a little and here is what I came up with.
Carin’s allergies were killing her so she was not wanting to be the model.
I was reading the latest issue Black and White Magazine (march 2009) and they featured an awesome photographer, Cole Thompson. He did a series of work at Auschwitz, all timed/multiple exposures. This created ghost like images that really tell a story. He is one of my favorites:
Here is another one of my favorites

Today it is my birthday! I did not have a big party or anything , just little cake with my wife and daughter! Cannot ask for anything better.
At my camera club on monday night, we had another print competion. I had entered 2 images. (Both of them were from the wedding workshop that I took in November.) The judge, Sarah Musumeci, and she loved the prints.
This iamge below scored a 12 out of a possible 15. While it did not win an award, it almost did.
While this image below also scored a 12 out of 15, it won an honorable mention.
I also was able to get another HM award that I won back in October. (12 points out of 15)
