Going Social
Although the snow has finally ended and the roads are clear again, today ended up being another stay-inside day, albeit one with enough activity to negate yesterday’s cabin fever. Today was the day that I finally took the time to sit down and do many of the things that I’ve been saying I was going [...]
Strobist Workshop: a HUGE success
Saturday was the culmination of a long process: the first Northeastern DPC Strobists workshop. This was an event that I’d had in mind for several years, finally brought to fruition, and man was it ever a blast! Ten photographers descended on the Pocono Inn’s conference room for a full day of studio shooting. We had [...]
A Photo a Day

Learning Photography – Internships
I am 23 years old and I have already managed to make one of my dreams come true; from April through November of 2008, I was a working photographer. By “working photographer” I mean professional, as in, my photography put food on my table and gas in my vehicle. It was a freelance position with [...]
