First Snow Storm 2009

     I woke up this morning to a beautiful sight.  It had snowed over night and everything was coated with white snow.    I went out and took some amazing images. 

 

Baby picture of Carin

     My daugher school want us to collect submit a baby picture of Carin for the year book.  It took me little or no time to figure out which photo to submit for them.

I cannot believe my little girl is almost 11.

the weddings are gone!

    I have removed all of the weddings from my website and I am not looking back.   I am looking forward to having my new site up.  (which should happen by the end of the weekend)  I have a couple of galleries up now and will be adding some more galleries while as I finish them

New website

     After a lot of soul-searching and exchanges of emails of a photography friend, I have decided to rework my website and focus on my stronger images.  When I finished photography school, I had a portfolio review by Jim Fitts and he told me my strongest images are of fine art work.  I was a little resistant to make this my only focus but after looking back at what I have been doing on my free time and the work that I have produced from it, i cannot argue any longer.

       I am also going to be focusing on my wide-angle portraits.  I am still amazed by the work of Platon.  My final project at school was a series of them that were just amazing. 

      This weekend I will be cleaning and backing up hard drives and selecting images for my new website.  I was going to wait until my ad on the knot but why bother.

     I will be still willing to do weddings providing I can use my style for the bride’s wedding.

     I will leave you with my favorite image from my recent trip to Atlanta.

images from my trip to Atlanta

                 I have my images from my trip to Atlanta posted on my Facebook page.  Please take a look and let me know what you think.   I really enjoy this type of photography and wish I could spend more time focusing on this.

Studio Management Services (SMS) in Atlanta

    I just got back from a 2 day workshop in Atlanta that PPA sponsored.  It taught me a lot.  (A mean a lot)  I learned how to better market my business and learn how to deal with customers.  I am going to have to digest everything in the next day or two and rework everything.

    I was able to take a lot of nice fine art photography images while I was there.  (Images will be posted by the end of the week.) 

    I will also be posting some images of my wife’s stay in the hospital and Halloween.

Last couple of weeks

   I have been so busy the last couple of weeks.  My wife spent some time in the hospital and I caught a nasty chest infection.   All is well now and cannot wait to get thing back to “normal.”

Camera Club

   Tonight at camera club, while fishing around the magazine bin, I found this old magazine that I feel in love with the cover image

 

This camera belonged to Bill Biggart.  He was a photographer that was killed on 9-11 when the second tower collapsed.  The rules are generally when you are done with the magazine, put it back in the bin but considering I gave them 20 magazines last week, the is going in my collection of favorite images.

TAL RIMONI’s Bar Mitzvah

  I had the pleasure of shooting Tal’s Bar Mitzvah yesterday.  While I was not allowed to shoot anything during the service, I got some great shoots of the reception.

 

 

 

 

 

update

I have been bust editing images from a recent wedding and will be posting those to me website shortly. I also plan on updating my portfolio as well as my whole website.

personne qui collecte les donations

I just wanted to send everyone an update.  My family and I just got back from our vacation in Boulder.  We had a lot of fun.  While we were busy visiting my wife’s new niece, we did not get much of a chance to go into the mountains.  I was able to take some amazing images in the center of town.  (Pearl Street Mall.)  I am calling the collection, “personne qui collecte les donations.”   While that is in French, when you see the images, you should be able to translate. 

 

          Just go to www.john-roy.com and the gallery is the last one.

 

          None of these images are have been corrected in Photoshop.  They are just as I shot them.  (Just exposure correction )  I wanted everything to be the way it was when I saw it.   I included an image that I took in Boulder 2 years ago and a image in Cambridge that I took 3 years ago b/c they all go together.)

Fourth of July with Carin!

I had a lot of fun in Salem with Carin watching the fireworks!
