One of the myriad items on my to-do list is taking another look at some old shoots. Some I’ve never looked at, or have only given a fleeting glance. Some I started to process but never got around to finishing. And some I’d like to re-process. One of the shoots from the first category was … Continue reading »
Tomorrow, I’ll be photographing both shows for the danse DNA dance 2012 year-end recital. Tonight, I photographed the first rehearsal.
I told myself before I left the house that I would only photograph my daughter. Once I got there, of course, things changed. I just couldn’t help myself.
It’s been four years since I tried to get a decent image of the two kids together. The last one turned out like this: I’ve thought about doing another one for some time now but never carried through on that plan/threat. I just never felt it was worth the hassle.

It’s not a high-quality lens. It’s an older (about 20 years old or so) third-party equivalent to Canon’s 80-200mm f/4-5.6. … Continue reading »
A couple of years ago I started working on a self-assignment that I came to call “Aboard the Irish Lass.” I spent several days over a one year period with brothers Terry and Randy Sandell, co-owners of the lobster fishing vessels Irish Lass and Sagittarius. During my last trip with them I captured several video … Continue reading »
I’m still plugging away, editing images from two fairly large photo shoots. One was shot in December, the other earlier this month. I wish both were completed by now, but it’s going to take a little while longer. That’s because I review each and every image from a shoot, and all those selected for upload … Continue reading »
