Amazing models & photos
This one came up in the DPChallenge forums; one of the members there found Michael Paul Smith’s photo stream “Photos of my models.” My first thought had been models, as in, people posing for photos. What Mr. Smith has put together is – at least in my opinion – even cooler. This is a photo [...]
Fords in the afternoon
With rain forecast for Sunday, Saturday afternoon was spent back out doors, up at Fords with my photography buddy Paul & his wife, Chris. The plan was mostly to enjoy the sunshine and hopefully come across some birds, although they few that were there played a winning game of hide-and-seek until we finally gave up [...]
Best of 2009
Happy New Year! With 2009 now officially behind us, I’ve taken a moment to look back across my body of work in the past year and pull some favorites. The photos that follow are those shots that I like the best – chosen for technical accuracy, subject interest, and overall aesthetic. I also want to [...]
Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to all! I hope that everybody is able to, at least for a little while today, be with good friends and/or family. And of course, be sure to take photographs so you can share the story of your holiday. For me, it’s been a long-overdue lazy day filled with family, movies, lounging around, [...]
Christmas Eve
Home with the family for Christmas Eve, enjoying goodies and the tree as snow falls outside. Some simple shots highlighting the details; cookies with the SX120 and the tree and ornaments with the 7D+50mm.
Cookies Baking
‘Tis the Christmas season – in fact just days away from the big morning itself – and so my apartment’s tiny kitchen was a spot of frenzied activity this afternoon as Mandy baked up a storm. I missed the first batch of cookies, and was editing photos whole she moved from cookies to bread. If [...]
Snow Day
There’s a storm moving in on northeastern PA this evening and they’re calling for snow, sleet, freezing rain – pretty much the whole works, except for the plague of locusts (which, in my mind, was always the most interesting of the doomsday conditions). So with the prospect of a snow day tomorrow, which means extra [...]
First Snowfall
The first snowfall came yesterday, fat flakes that drifted down all day, adding up to a couple of inches across lawns and rooftops. While household chores kept me inside yesterday, I was absolutely up with the dawn today and back at Fords. There’s something magical about the first snowfall, the way it transforms the landscape. [...]
A birthday outing
Yesterday was my birthday, so as a gift to myself I took today off from work and got up extra early to be at Fords Pond for the sunrise. An odd choice of ways to spend a day off to most, I’m sure, but it’s what I wanted to do – I cherish my early [...]
Thanksgiving
I probably haven’t done as many photo essays as I should have, and I’m not touting this one as the best ever. It’s just a humble attempt at capturing my Thanksgiving experience, spent away from my family but within the warm circle of my girlfriend’s family. It’s not easy to keep on track with a [...]
