One of many images that I took in Gloucester on a day off from work.
This week I have been on vacation and enjoying everyday day of it. I have been getting a lot of things done around the house, renewed my website, walked around Boston taking pretty pictures, and went to Constant Contact to learn about email marketing.
Here are some of the pretty pictures that I took while walking around Boston.
I wish the light was just a little better but I am pretty happy with the results.
I turned a big 4-0 today. Kind of disheartening. I am very happy where I am in my life and I am looking forward. I am working on lining up some gallery shows, a couple of sales and other options. I have also sent in some images to black and white magazine. I am keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
I am renewing my website and plan on sending out a mass media update by the end of the week.
It is be kind of busy for me the last couple of weeks. I got new business cards, new Christmas card, plus all the holiday excitement. (That is why I have not been able to post anything.)
I really like the new cards.
Here is the Christmas card. (I think I did a great job at capturing my daughter’s persona) I have gotten a lot of positive feedback.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.

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.
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.”
