A couple of 'fun' shots from the studio tonight....I see the umbrella view about a hundred or more times per work day...and the 2nd shot is what I call a Semi Self portrait. Last night I photographed a young man and his mother. He was 'less than' enthusiastic about the process. Tonight however he stopped in and was joshing with me in between sittings. 'take my picture' he said... so I did.

Saturdays at my job are always busy, and instead of my normal 2pm to 9:30 pm hours, I have to work 9:30-6pm, and actually be on site by 9:00 AM. No big deal, other than I'm usually getting home from work around 10PM, AND having to get up, check out my hotel and then scurry to work by 9AM...This morning I was incredibly efficient, and was out the door by 8:15, leaving myself a whopping 45

the regularly scheduled posting of a New image will be delayed until at least tomorrow... instead I will share with you these images of a barn that I shot last fall... my Nikon is 'down' with a dead battery today... and my charger is 90 miles away...

I'm still on 'hiatus' from work at the moment, and today my Aunt needed a ride to Charlottesville to the Amtrak station. I volunteered to take her, and on my way home, I took a few hours and did some shooting... So far this is the 'shot' that I like the best... I like the motion implied in this crop, with the road and the fences. At the same spot on the Blue Ridge parkway I played around a

Hi folks, I've decided to take the 'Photo a day' challenge that many photographers do. I haven't decided on all of the parameters, but check back daily for updates. guess I'd better kit up, put my tripod in the buick so I can shoot some night shots and brush up on Gimp. The rules, one published photo per day. Preferably shot and post processed that day. Weather being what it is, however.

I've had a bunch of life changes in my world the past few months since I last posted. My lovely wife Lori and our youngest son Patrick have moved 500 miles south to be with my parents. In the process I've taken a new job, and am no longer a 'road photographer', though I both travel and do photography... these days I work for: and while that is a 'good thing' in some respects, the jury is

Evening light, for those who may not be photographers, is when that golden glow lights up the trees or a building in either the early morning or later evening. The sun is relatively low on the horizon, and it just turns

Happy 4th of July (belated) all. Grabbed the Nikon last night and went down to the lake to shoot some fireworks... some of the folks who live down by the lake had a pretty impressive amateur show, considering that fireworks are illegal to buy here in NY.

tried this one in black and white... not really necessary as the color versions are nearly atonal to begin with. Still it was nice to play with the contrast a bit. just that Hint of color... makes the image Its not easy being green...longer view showing about 4 out of the 6 or so silos on the site... such texture, even at this range. fascinating

This is the house that my family and I will be moving to next year if all goes well. It is my grandfather's home, however he is in a nursing home now, and so we'll be moving in as long term caretakers. I hope to buy it from the estate eventually, but a lot of things have to happen first.
