  § The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly

 at  { 10 comments }

The Good goes to Gander Proofs for their customer service. I have been on the phone with them CONSTANTLY getting our business relationship off the ground and Amy has been super nice and patient.   I also want to thank B&H Photo Video for the recent package that arrived on my doorstep.  The fact that I ordered it yesterday and it arrived today gets a WOW!

The Bad goes to my local Post Office who also receives The Ugly because of the U.S. flag hanging outside of their location.  The condition of the flag sickens me to no end.   The flag is a symbol for all that makes our country great.  This is not a recent thing either… this flag has flown night and day like this since last July when I moved to this area.

Today is my last day of vacation before going back to work tomorrow and of all days, my coffee machine broke… For what ever reason, the electronics are not working. Thank God for the nearby Starbucks.

Stay tuned for another post later today.

  § The Luckiest

 at  { 5 comments }

This is my wonderful wife, Diana.  She doesn’t cook often, that’s generally my job, but when she does, she chooses really good dinners.  Tonight’s special:  a turkey bacon and ground chicken shepherds pie.


For me, what made this really special was the fact that she cooked dinner with a bum pinky.  We’re not talking hang nail… we’re talking fingernail is bound to fall off hurt. We have a front door that has a tendency to slam shut when there are windows open in the house.  OUCH!!!


My wife is tough! I know I would be milking it for all it’s worth…

  § Some aunts do crochet, mine does…

 at  { 5 comments }

This is my Aunt Kris. She’s a runner. 


She’s not a 5K runner.  She’s not a marathon runner.  She surpasses crazy and is classified under the category of insanely nuts. She’s an Ultra-Marathon runner.  That’s right… she doesn’t run one marathon, she runs 2… at once.  NUTS!

She had a race today… the guy on the left in the grey shirt won. He ran with that cigar in his mouth the whole race. NUTS!

Did I mention that she ran 50 miles? NUTS!

While I was waiting at one of the stop points I noticed 20 or so turkey vultures above me. Those things were huge. NUTS!

Then this really nice old man asked me if I was ok because I was just sitting in my car on the side of the road. I said yes and we began to talk about the race, then his wife that died last December, then his new wife that he just got married to and that his kids were upset with him over, then his battles in WWII and Korea. After he walked away, I got out of my car and noticed that his dog peed on my wheels. Do you know what I said to myself? “NUTS!”

… oh yeah, I forgot to mention this little tidbit.  The race was held where Diana and I had our first engagement shoot with Jerome back in the summer of ‘06

  § Waiting on Erin

 at  { 2 comments }

So… I just finished editing 800+ pictures for Erin and Patrick. Not bad considering Meg and I took over 4000 on their wedding day. I can’t wait to show you more, but unfortunately, you have to wait for them to see the photos first.

Ok… you twisted my arm. Here are two more.

  § My Friend Meg….

 at  { 3 comments }

My friend Meg is a sneak… she got me acting like a fool on Saturday before we met up with Erin at her house.  And contrary to what Eric will tell you, there is more than just my pinky up… I believe there are three fingers up thus negating his “feminine” comment on Meg’s blog.  Here is the shot she got of me.

  § Oh, ok…. just a few more.

I can’t help it… I love how Erin and Patrick’s pictures have come out.  Here are a few more.

Erin and her father…

Ok, so the lady at the bottom… yeah, she just celebrated her 100th birthday.  She is Erin’s Great Great Aunt.  That would be her grandfather’s aunt.  WOW!

  § Erin and Patrick's Big Day!

 at  { 8 comments }

Erin a school teacher, and Patrick a fireman (one of the NYC Bravest) , tied the knot yesterday in one of the most enjoyable wedding days I have ever been a part of. The temperature was perfect, the sun was shining and there was a slight breeze. Now, when you look at the pictures, you will see Erin putting makeup on her mother and herself (as well as all of the bridesmaids). Well… that’s what happens when the makeup person cancels on you last minute. But Erin just rolled with the punches and did it herself. What a trooper!

Erin and Patrick got married at Saint Mary’s in Fishkill, NY which was a gorgeous church with great lighting. The reception was held at the Dutchess Manor with the Jimmy Dee Music Production providing the house-rocking entertainment. Need a DJ? This is the company to use!!!

I planned on sitting down for a short editting period and only posting 5 of my favorite pictures but I had to walk away from my computer because I could have stayed all day since there are so many amazing shots of the day.

Of course, I couldn’t begin to thank Megan LaBarbara for second shooting for me. I learned a lot from her and look forward to learning more from her in the future.

  § The ship is sinking…

 at  { 3 comments }

Tonight, my beautiful wife and I went aboard the S.S. Titanic with her parents and brother and girlfriend. Well, it wasn’t the Titanic, but it was a fantabulous dinner that the Ethan Allen put on with the same 11 course meal that the Titanic served the day it sank. They even had relatives of survivors attend the dinner and to tell stories of their families. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested next year.

Here are a few photos I took with Diana’s brand new Sony Cybershot DSC-W80 (that will be hitting the eBay shelves quickly… seriously, worst camera EVER!)

My beautiful wife… (She really is an angel from God for putting up with me!)

My mother and father-in-law

My brother-in-law and his girlfriend

Sorry guys, taken!

Ok… off to bed. Erin’s wedding is tomorrow and I have to get some much needed shut eye. Oh yeah, check back Sunday for a few of my favorite photos from the wedding

By the way, wife, fantabulous has made it’s way to wikipedia… SO IT’S A WORD.  (I love you, dear)
