Happy Tuesday everyone! I hopped on the train yesterday to meet my friend Cyd (another fellow photog) in the city. We had a great time walking around with our cameras, stopping for a beer every now and then. I left the 85mm f1.8 on the whole time. Some folks were kind enough to give permission to take pictures of them…some didn’t notice. Here is some street photography, just to prove I’m not a one-trick pony.
I love the beach, always have. These images were shot at one of my favorite places in New Jersey, Island Beach State Park. I go there as often as I can, it doesn’t matter what time of year. When I’m there, all my troubles are far away. I brought my friend Dan (a fellow photographer) and his dog Dexter to show them my favorite place. As you can tell from the big smile, Dexter had a good time. It was a spectacular day for walking on the beach…not so much for dramatic beach pictures, but I took some anyway.
I sometimes forget how lucky I am that I can just get in my car and drive for about an hour when I need to see the ocean.
Happy belated new year everyone! I hope that 2012 is a prosperous year for all. It is 60+ degrees today so I took a drive Ocean City to shoot the abandoned 59th Street pier this morning.
I am working on my 2012 show schedule and other activities for the year and will update the site once everything is finalized. Hope to hear from you soon!
Life has been too busy and I haven’t updated the site in a while and wanted to stop by and say Hello. Here are some images from a recent shoot for my friend Heather. These cuties are Lily, Annie and Blast.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy holiday season!
What a fun day it was! Although we had some technical challenges, it was a rewarding and successful day. Look at these beautiful faces…many of these dogs are cherished members of their families today because of Lilo’s Promise Animal Rescue. Lilo’s is a non-profit 501(C)(3) organization. They cannot do what they do without our help. Stop by the site and see if there is anything you can do to help.
Thanks to the American Legion George Walton Post 371, all of the families who purchased a session, Kelly Jordan, Charles Bruder and the “shelter girls” for all of your hard work that day.
For those that missed out on this deal, I am offering mini sessions (30-minute) for the month of December for $60. Use the contact form if you are interested or would like more information.
