Like anything of real quality, the longer you have something and the more you use it, the more you learn to enjoy it and appreciate it for all that it is. So far today has been a day of slowing down… today Diana and I are taking a moment to breath and enjoy having each other close to the other because sometimes it doesn’t always happen that way.

Last fall I was asked by my good friend Anthony Quintano of Quintano Media to capture some images of the 2009 Bergenfest in Bergen County, NJ which would be used in their November/Deceber issue of their Bergen Health and Fitness magazine.  Along side Anthony were his awesome assistants, his lovely wife, and Emmy Award winning Chuck Goslin of Jibs of New York all capturing video of the event which was held at The Estate at Florentine Gardens. Restaurants, Bakeries, landscapers, vineyards, performing artists and many other businesses were in attendance to make the evening fun and enjoyable for everyone.

Check out their magazine here.  Images taken of the event can be found on pages 22 and 50-58

Check out this awesome video by Quintano Media of the evening’s event.

Each year I set a number of goals for myself… some come to fruition and some don’t.  This year I have decided that I am going run every day for one year… 365 days of running. Despite all things that may knock me off course, I a determined to make it happen.  I will document each run with one photo from my Blackberry (or hopefully iPhone if Apple/Verizon get their act together) and post it to Jake Runs 365.  And before you ask, yes the photos have been color changed in photoshop.

I have to say, as the site has grown, I think my favorite part is the ARCHIVE PAGE and I am psyched to see what it looks like with 365 different photos.

Check out this video if you are interested in really making your own goals a success.

I was recently going through a file I had on an external hard drive and found a few meaningful photos of my younger brother while he was serving in Iraq.  A journalist had gone on some of the missions with them to document their journeys and captured these two images that I will cherish forever. I pray the next time I feel pressure to get “the shot” that I remember what it’s truly like to be a war-time photographer and all they go through. I wish I could meet the man who captured these of Zack to shake his hand and say thank you.

To those brave men and women who serve our country in the military, THANK YOU! You are not forgotten, nor will you ever.

*DISCLAIMER* — I DID NOT TAKE THE FOLLOWING PHOTOGRAPHS. AN UNKNOWN JOURNALIST DID.
