§ “ Christmas is coming !!! ”

Nov 30 2008 at 8:35 pm { 16 comments }

Today is “PUT UP THE TREE” day and I couldn’t be happier. It’s the first time of the year I get to watch movies like National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Story, Elf, Home Alone, The Grinch, and other classics. It means the start of Peppermint Mochas from Starbucks and telling my wife the same childhood stories over and over that she has heard every year since we have started dating. It means time with family and time away from work. It means snow, like the feathery white stuff on top of our cars this morning.

First snow of 2008!!!

Our 2008 Christmas Tree

Enjoy the slideshow! (It’s less than 2 minutes long)

§ “ Giving Back ”

Nov 22 2008 at 11:24 pm { 2 comments }

This week the school I teach in collected cans and boxes of food for the poor. This awesome can ended up in my box and brought me right back to my childhood. I had to take a picture of it on my macbook at school and share it with you.

Now, if I could only find a bottle of Voltron vitamins, I would be all set!

§ “ Mini Vaca ”

Nov 18 2008 at 6:25 am { 10 comments }

This past weekend Diana and I made a trip to Upstate, NY to visit with friends and family as well as take a mini vacation from the hustle and bustle of life. Our trip to the Sagamore in Bolton Landing, NY included a tasty dinner, a massage for Diana and a nights sleep that didn’t include an alarm for me (even though I still woke up around 5 a.m).

Here are a few images I took at while Diana slept the morning away. I was hoping for some sort of mild temperature to take pictures of the grounds but the weather wasn’t cooperating. The morning was FRIGID cold and the wind was strong enough to blow you off your feet.

Room service brought tasty food to our doorstep.

The panorama from the dock at the Sagamore.

I cherish my time with Diana and I look forward to our next vacation together.

§ “ 2nd Shooting @ Crisan and Michael's Wedding for Jerome Braga / Studio 1923 ”

Nov 12 2008 at 6:46 pm { 11 comments }

A while back I had the opportunity to shoot with Jerome Braga of Studio 1923 in Slate Hill, NY at the Catlin Gardens for Crisan and Michael. The gardens behind the venue where Crisan and Michael were married were FILLED TO THE MAX with every type of flower, plant and statue imaginable!!! There were archways, bridges, paths, a pond, and a brook. Challenging to shoot but very pretty to look at.

Thank you again Jerome for having me shoot with you!

I would like to present to you Claudia and Scott! Their storybook wedding was held at the historic Immaculate Conception Basilica in Waterbury with an event-filled reception at the Villa Rosa.

Claudia and Scott had a Mariachi Band come to play during the dinner hour

Thank you to Jerome Braga for having me shoot with him once again. Also, a plug needs to be given to SIXPENCE FOR YOUR SHOES who are the best wedding coordinators in CT.

Note: All of the previous shots were taken by me for Jerome Braga of Studio 1923.

§ “ The Blaze: Halloween is HERE! ”

Nov 1 2008 at 4:52 am { 8 comments }

Last night, Diana, and I went to The Blaze in Croton-on-the- Hudson with a few friends. The frigid temperature wasn’t enough to stop us from seeing the 6010 carved pumpkins that adorn the Van Cortland Manor in Westchester County. Next year, I will be going back with the D3 and it’s amazing ISO.

Photographer note: Most of these shots were taken between 1600 and Hi1 at 1.8 and 1/60th of a second.

Happy Halloween!!!
