Halloween

  My little girl went out as Selena Gomez for Halloween.  She loves going out and getting free candy.  Just like last year, she went out with her neighbor, Simon.  Carin gave up on her wig b/c it kept falling off. 

Newburyport

   Carin and I spent the afternoon in Newburyport.  I would love to move up here but my commute would really stink more then it does now. 

Boston, October 27, 2010

   I was walking around Boston on Wednesday and grabbed some amazing candid shots of people just walking around.

    It is so much fun to capture images like this!



The guest speaker at my camera club Monday night was Lance Keimig. He is a fantastic photographer that does night time photography. It made me find some old images that I took when I first started photography school.  If you want to check out his work, CLICK HERE

I love this image!  Check out how I was able to time it to get 2 colors of the stop light!

I love the streaks of head lights and tail lights.

Cannot believe that I was able to get her to pose so nicely!

More streaks of light.  I got a little crazy here, I used my flash to light up the cones.

The last image, some people say that I should have removed that "juice box"  but I think that it adds to the image.

Coven in Salem

  I just dropped out a print at the Coven in Salem. If you get a chance be sure to check out my work as well as other local artists. (Plus make sure you get a bite to eat as well)

Boston Sept 4, 2010

  Here are some of the images that I took in Boston on Sept 4, 2010

I love capturing candid images!  There is nothing better then capturing people with their guard down.

Old picture of Carin

   I found this old picture of my daughter Carin and love it.  She might kill me for posting this but I love it!  I took this image years ago with an old p&s shoot digital camera.

Remembering a great man

My father-in-law died earlier this year and I am helping my wife’s family find, scan and restore old images. Here is something that I have been working on tonight. The picture was is very bad shape as you can see. He is with his brother and some of the “trophies” from some of their hunting trips.

First pass of the scanner



second pass of the scanner



Then i had to "painstakingly" paste them together.



Then i had to remove the scratches and missing pieces and correct the exposure.

moment in time 5-2-10

I particapated in the NY Times, Moment in time on May 2, 2010 at 11 AM, eastern standard time.  here is the image that I decided to use

 

I took the image using my 30mm 1.4 mm lens.  My first attempt at using it.  I love my depth of field that was accomplished with this.  The branch is acting like a barrier from me continuing.

Check out other photos that people have submitted.

I am still searching for mine.  (I guess they are overwhelmed with responses) If you find it let me know.

Boston on a Sunday afternoon

I was needing some ME time so I went into Boston today to take some images of Financial District.  One good thing about the recession, no security guards to worry about.  :)

 

Finally getting caught up on everything

I am finally getting caught up on everything and I am glad that I am finally able to upload some images from the last week. 

    My little girl Carin celebrated her 11th birthday last Wednesday.  We had a little party for her at home. 









We are continuing with the packing and starting to look for a condo.  Have a couple areas in mind, but we are keeping our options open.

Busy Weekend

I have been very busy working on cleaning up my studio and man cave.  Matting prints and getting more prints ready for print competition.  (plus other online competitions as well)

Vacation week

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.
