Oh Deer

I had a wonderful opportunity to make some special images. I was invited to see feeding time for fawns at a private sanctuary. These tiny creatures have been raised by hand, completely out of the wild and dangerous environment. They were quite curious about me, so I had to switch from my 70-200mm lens to my 24-70mm f/2.8 so I could close focus.



The best part was watching my son as he made friends with these beautiful animals. I think he wanted to try and sneak one out so he could keep him.



Now he knows what they mean by velvet antlers.



Clean up time is tasty ; )

Class of 2009 Moving On

Graduation at Frewsburg Central is always fun and amusing, but it always makes me a little sad as I say goodbye to some of my friends.




Mr. Nelson delivered a great speech, issuing a challenge . . . well, actually he dared them to succeed on their new paths. So, I hope they take up his challenge. Good luck Class of 2009, and keep in touch.

Rocking Time in Rochester

On Wednesday, May 13, Bruce Hahn of Hahn Photographic hosted an incredible workshop. Had invited dealer Reps from Westcott, ProFoto, Quantum and others as well as photographers and models to take part in hands on demonstrations with top of the line gear. What a great night, Thanks again Bruce.

Artificial Natural Light

Sometimes, we as photographers need to make the light more beautiful. Using a QFlash mixed with the ambient light, plus a Custom White Balance I was able to create these images.

Below, the same light without Custom White Balance





Using just the bare bulb, I was able to get some beautiful directional light.







Making beautiful images starts with controlling the light, naturally.

SuperMonday Again

On the 20th of April, I had the opportunity to teach another SuperMonday class to photographers willing to learn. We explored many different lighting combinations, in studio, outside and window light with and without my QFlash. As always, it was a blast. Thanks to my fantastic model Lins for being patient and photogenic. A special thanks to Bruce from Hahn Photographic for his support.

Ohh Baby

As a photographer, I love making beautiful images. As a dad, I love being a photographer. I had such a great time with 6 month old Grace and her mommy and daddy. It was a blast. Did I say that I love my job ; )

Silly Smiles Rocks the Burg at Anthony's Café

On Saturday, March 7th, laughter with good friends filled the air down at Anthony's Café. So I would like to send out a heart-felt thanks to all who participated in making a successful fund raiser. Students from FCS gave up time on a Saturday to help out and the wonderful people at Anthony's made it truly special, even camera shy Sean ; )
