Long exposure photography, with LED flashlights, lasers, and glow sticks from the dollar store. I asked the kids if they wanted to do some light painting before bedtime, and the project began…

My photography friend (and inspiration, quite often) Anne Skidmore and I occasionally try to motivate each other to shoot. Anne gave me a 30 minute assignment… “go out and shoot at night… for 30 minutes”.
It was cold. Cold as all hell.
The need to create, practice, test, fail, try again, reshoot.  Some folks have to just [...]

Here are a number of images from a trip to Bread and Puppet in Glover Vermont. We visited in early summer, and here are a few of the shots of the performers, artists, and of course… puppets.

We took Fi a few weeks ago to Burnt Meadow Stables for her first horseback riding lessons. I thought I’d throw up a few pics of it on the blog.
Burnt Meadow stables is a pretty cool place. It’s a 50 acre horse boarding, training and lesson facility. The facility offers a newly renovated barn [...]

I got a call from Erin Bott the other day.  She’s got a rockin’ band called JUG. She needed to get some new shots of the band, and we scheduled some time. We decided to shoot in a dusty old barn… complete with big hairy barn spiders. I set up (with a little [...]

Just got back from the Tamworth NH fireworks. What a great show. Nothing like a beautiful night, a damn near full moon, and your family on a blanket snuggled up and celebrating the 4th together.
Some of these shots are super long exposures, and were really fun to shoot. I hope everyone had a super [...]

Another year up in smoke… and a fun 40th birthday party.

Just a quick post… these guys were big and serious.  I took the kids (and my camera stuff, of course) out to UCONN, and we decided to stop and say “hi” to the cows.  This guy was inquisitive, but kept staring us down. A kind of “Hi there, don’t get to close to me…” kind [...]

After a rousing and exciting meeting with my fellow AIGA NHVT boards members, three of us stayed behind and decided to get a bit of springtime sun, and exchange some shooting tips and techniques. We were all jazzed to be able to walk around Vermont Surplus, which is really an architectural surplus shop, and [...]

It’s a process… the set up, the scenario, the models, the gear, the weather. All of these things are pieces of the big puzzle.  I can say there’s no better feeling than to know that the people that you hire and have around you are quality, driven people.  Active participants.
Permission from local law enforcement was [...]

HDR rendering continues to absolutely blow me away.  Here are a few I thought I’d screw around with. If you want to know more about HDR and my process, let me know, and I’ll post up a tutorial or a walkthrough.
Remember, prints are available, and inexpensive! Contact me with questions!

Maple Sugaring pictures probably aren’t usually dark and semi-foreboding, but what the hell…
I had the pleasure of breathing in the sweet steam of boiling sap, and having a little sample of the sweetness as well.  These shots were taken in the afternoon, as the fire was starting to cool.  Steam was thick in the air, [...]
