Andy and Debbie's E-Session

Here come the Engagements, The past few weeks have been very busy and I've had quite a few E-Sessions so I'll be posting the shows as soon as I can.

Here is Andy and Debbie's E-Session I shot before heading out to NY. We took a sweet walk in the norris reservation in Norwell , MA This is where Andy proposed to Debbie by carving "Marry Me" into a tree. Of coarse we had to go out there and get some photos of the tree with the newly engaged couple. Check out the slideshow below.

GO SOX!!!!!

Where did all the moments go?

While out in NY I was talking to another photographer Fred Egan out of Texas about Senior photography and how everyone wants to live the life of no worries, unlimited money, do what they want when they want(like jumping off the end of a dock at sunset with all their clothes on,
now that is a Kodak Moment) I miss my darkroom :(

Both Studio Foto and The Stobist posted this on their blogs and I thought of all the fluff Kodak did in the "Kodak Moment" campaign this is pretty funny how they poke fun of it themselves.

Just a Teaser

Here is a photo I shot in NYC this week at The Revolution Workshop. I'll post some more later but I just got back and I'm not feeling well, plus I have an E-Session with Debbie and Andy I'll be putting up soon. Let me know what you think.

Backup, Backup

In todays world there are so many now using digital cameras to capture moments of their friends and family. With digital photography come digital files, today it seems more photos are being taken but less people are printing the pictures. This leave mass amounts of files stored on hard drives. For myself, being a photographer plus having two little kids, I take a lot of photos. Since I backup all of my original files and have a minimum of 2 copies.

I'm telling you this because a hard drive I just purchased in August fail :( This was my main working hard drive and knocked us back a little but all of our original files are back so no worries, we will be back on track as soon as I'm back from NY.

I just want to make sure everyone else out there is backing up there files, because if a hard drive I had for only about two months can crash, I know it can happen to any drive.

All drives and computers will die sometime so plan for it.


FYI: I'll be in NYC for The Revolution all of next week.

New Look, Big PHOTOS

Here is the new look for the blog I'm still working out some of the bugs(like not being able to see the controls for the slide shows, you can still click them to watch) If you find anything else let me know by posting a comment below. The Blog looks good at 1024X768 and best if you can go larger.

So I've been super busy and I'll be catching up on email in the next day.
This past weekend I had an awesome time shooting a wedding up in Salem, MA at the Peabody Essex Museum with Jason Groupp. It was kinda funny, we were like prisoners in the Museum, every time we left a room we needed a guard with us and our bags checked 1 to many times, but it was all good. Jason will probably have a slide show up soon so keep checking his blog out to see them. If you look up in the new header there is a shot of the flowers and the guys feet from the wedding.

Next week I'm heading out to Jason's Studio in NY for the Revolution with TJ Cameron and Chris+Linn.

I'll be posting some nice BIG PHOTOS soon after changing my actions for blog sizes and uploading them to flickr.

Linnea and Gary

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Gary and Linnea. The ceremony was held at the UU Area Church in Sherborn, MA and the reception at the Royal Sonesta in Cambridge. There was an open mic at the reception during dinner, quite a few family and friends decided to speak some great words about the both of them. While here is the slideshow if you would like to see it larger goto

I've been sooooooo busy this week but had a great time. Saturday I shot a wedding with Jenny and Kate did makeup for the Bride and her girls. I'll have the show up tomorrow, after Belle goes to the docs for a checkup.

Sunday we did the family thing and went apple picking I'll post some pictures from that too, the point and shoot is in the car.

Tuesday I went to the Pug Shoot Out in Boston. We did some night shooting and then got a little to eat. I was great getting out and meeting Matt Grazier, Lori Desantis and Mark Thomas.

Today I did some editing of coarse but spent sometime on the new website which is coming along. I did have a few fights with the Windows computer(Gates won that round) I'm glad I use Mac now, but all my web software is on the Windows box :(

The weeks not over yet, this Saturday I'm second shooting a wedding for Jason Groupp who is coming up from NY to shoot a wedding in Salem at the Peabody Essex Museum.

Sorry no photos but I'm tired, I probably didn't even make any sense.
