Wonky Manhattan

Welcome to Part 2 of my tilt shift tour of New York. I arrived in Manhattan’s Penn Station on one of the warmest days so far this year. Outside there was the longest line of police cars that I’ve ever seen. I have no idea what that was all about. Next I went to Central...

Photo Workshop in Evergreen this week

We woke up on Monday to some snow in Colorado . . . AGAIN!  Chad and I headed up to Evergreen for the Shoot With Beckstead workshop.  Four days of classroom and on location shooting with models.  I think I’ll post the images from the workshop on The Light Side, since they are looking REALLY...

PA Day 3 – Frenchtown Park

I had a lot of fun taking pictures of my nephews. I’m still enthusiastic enough with photography that I’m always shooting when I have willing subjects. It doesn’t get any more willing than this! Look at these poses! The playground in Frenchtown NJ is classic. It has lots of old-school playground features. You know, the...

PA Day 2 – Grammy’s Yard

On the second day, the sun came out and we were able to go play in the yard. Grammy’s house is a cabin in the woods.  So we headed out to take some family pics for the photo album. Things started out a little slowly at first.  Travis wasn’t super exited for the posed shot...

Tilt-Shiftin’ the NJ Transit System

On my trip back East, there were two distinct parts.  The first was family time in PA.  The second half was NJ and NY.  My grandmother lives a train ride away from the city, so I stayed there and took a trip to NY.  I went to Manhattan for a day.  I didn’t want to...

I’m going to be attending my first photography workshop

Well it’s Sunday and I’m back in the office after an epic wedding last night at the St. Julian. We were singing along to acoustic guitar in the lobby of the St. Julian at 2 AM. It was THAT much fun!  So I’m here in the office looking out the window on a pretty day...

Yes, these were my own Legos when I was a kid!

The boys are really into Legos. Grammy still has my old Legos from when I was a kid! I put about 3 hours into this first one! It’s got tons of firepower, and will blow away any other ship in Upper Black Eddy. I built this first ship for Travis. The next morning I got...

Family Trip to PA – Day 1 – Chuck E Cheese

So I made a long overdue trek back east to visit with family last week.  I of course took lots of photos and am trying to dig my way out of the backlog!  I coordinated the trip with my sister so that I could see my two nephews, Travis and Everett.  My first day in...

The Habitat of a Pack of Snowboarders in Minturn

I visited my ex-roommate’s house in Minturn on the first night of my ski-venture.  It was a pretty epic house! There are something like 4 to 6 18 to 22 year olds that live there.  It was such an interesting place, I decided to document. I like the skull on the shed in the front...

Four Days of Epic Spring Powder at Vail and Beaver Creek

I’m always following the weather during the winter, tracking the big storms that yield glorious dumps of fluffy powder. I wasn’t able to get away too much this year, just too much business stuff combined with a pretty dry winter.  Well the storms finally showed up in late March and early April, and I was...

Pelting Dad’s Bald Head With Snowballs Is Fun

I’m still working on post some more pics from the Vail trip.  Here is a fun little sequence that I caught while hanging out in Lionshead waiting to get on the lift.  Cute stuff.

I took a Colorado Stay-cation

I love the sunrises in Boulder. Being the night person that I am, I rarely get to see it. A powder day is one of the few things that get me up early enough.  These pics were taken last Thurs, on my way out of town for a mini vacation. I hadn’t made very good...
