    I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now, but watch the above video, it should clear up any questions anyone has on how to use filters with lenses that “can’t” take filters.  But that I mean wide lenses w/o proper threads for filters on the front.  The 3 biggest offenders are the sigma…

    We this wraps up a pretty good weekend.  The weather wasn’t great Saturday, but we got some yard work done, Nikki ran, I rode my bike, Elias and I took his crib apart,  then we went off to Gigi and Pop Pops for dinner which was great.  Today I shot the sunrise in the am…

    I got the opportunity to shoot Brick Alley Pub the other day.  They’re working on a new website and wanted to get some images for that.  It was interesting being in the restaurant so early no one else was there.  Restaurants and bars are NOT easy to shoot though, the lighting is pretty difficult.  It was…

    I made it out to Sachuest yesterday morning.  I didn’t call the gang because I wasn’t sure if I’d sleep in or not, but I managed to get out of bed and not miss everything…  It was a decent sunrise with thick enough clouds I could shoot for a while w/o missing the best part…

    Well it’s been a quiet week this week.  Last week Moseley ended up snapping at Elias so we were forced to take him back to the shelter we got him from.  We couldn’t risk anything worse happening (it left a tiny mark on Elias’ forearm and Elias provoked him, but it could happen again and…

    Went down to Hazard Friday moring.  Unfortunately mother nature didn’t play nice again giving us no clouds but we had fun anyway.  We had 4 guys down there this week which is a crowd for hazard but it was fun as always.  Enjoy.

    I decided to take some pictures of all the water/rain on the way home tonight.  The side of 95 south was flooded from rt. 10 all the way down to the 295 merge.  Once off the highway onto Division street I clanked a MAJOR pothole coming down the hill that was covered by a massive…

    Went out and shot the sunrise for the first time in what felt like a long time this weekend.  We decided on hulls cover which is nice as it’s closer to home.  But mother nature didn’t help much and the light was just much too bright to bring home anything amazing.  Will Dave and Eric…

    Well it’s been a long couple of weeks with my trip to Texas and Elias getting his tubes done on Tuesday morning, but this weekend was a great weekend.  Saturday we finally got up to Boston Aquarium with my parents and Elias.  Elias loves Finding Nemo so my dad had thought of taking him there…

    Rebecca was the last model I shot on Saturday’s studio session.  She was cracking up because I was shooting at the same time as one of the other guys and she noticed and smiled for me…  I said “don’t look at meeeeeeeee!” and we both cracked up!  I know I probably said this about all…

    Alexa was the second model I shot down in houston, but also the model I shot the most while there.  I think I felt a bit more relaxed with her because she was a bit more comical while shooting.  It’s not that the other models weren’t great, it’s just that Alexa is a goofball and…

    Kyra was one of the last models I shot on Saturday during our Texas studio session.  She’s gorgeous which makes it hard to take a bad image of her but I’m afraid I didn’t do her justice.  I’m still getting the hang of posing and light placement in the studio and these were all shot…

    Went down to Texas for a weekend studio session.  Studio isn’t really my thing, or so I thought, but I actually had a ton of fun.  It’s weird because I’m normally not shy but when I start shooting people I don’t like telling them what to do…  Luckily for me Shawna knew what she was…

    Well I just got home from a weekend away in Texas.  My photo forum had a group studio shoot that I mentioned I’d like to go to.  One of our members works for JetBlue and got us dirt cheap tickets to go down Friday and return today.  We slept on couches and had an amazing…
