Magic Light
I’m not feeling very verbose tonight. This may come as a surprise to some of you, based on some of my previous posts. So instead of giving you a dozen longwinded reasons why sunrise/sunset light is best for outdoor shooting, I’m simply going to show you. The following shots were taken Saturday evening and Sunday [...]
Orchard Wedding
The Orchard Wedding is complete. Five hours on site, 945 shots (14GB), and a full day of editing later, the files are burning to DVD as I type. The weather was with us, although a touch warm, and everything went off without a hitch. The bride and groom are two wonderful people who were a [...]

The next question I’ll tackle is the old refrain, “It’s cold, there’s snow, what’s there to shoot?” At the rick of sounding like a smart alec, the answer is “snow.” Landscapes take on an entirely new look during the [...]
Winter Wonderland – Part I
Winter is definitely here to stay for a while longer, and if you’re in the northeast like me, that means short days and cold temperatures. But it certainly doesn’t have to mean the end of photography for the season! Of course there’s the obvious alternative of shooting indoors, which we’ll discuss a bit later [...]
