    Dave and I went down to Ledge Road this morning in the rain in Newport.  It’s supposed to rain all weekend so we basically just went on a scouting mission but it was decent enough to grab a few shots.  I couldn’t really use filters as they got wet too quick and “drying” them left…

    I got to shoot Sakonnet again this past weekend.  It’s a location I can’t shoot in the summer due to a private beach club, so I take advantage of any opportunity I can get to go there.  Nikki and I stayed overnight at her parents over the weekend, so it was <30 minutes to get there which…

    Made it out to Black Point for the sunrise Sunday morning.  I actually slept in a bit (I set 2 alarms, the second saved me) and missed the twilight shooting which I tend to prefer.  The sunrise itself was pretty uneventful, but when the sun poked through the clouds about 15 minutes later Andy and…

    Some of our great friends are trying to sell their house.  The had posted it a while ago and weren’t thrilled about the quality of the photos their original realitors had taken so they asked me if I could help them out.  I said no problem and the whole family went over for lunch Saturday. …

    I finally got the refund for my boda bag this week due to a broken zipper which they couldn’t replace. Back when I bought it (almost a year ago now) the think tank UD30 was the other bag I was giving some serious consideration to. Now that I’m starting over I’ve gone with the Think…

    Ralph asked me to swing by spring street a couple of weeks ago to snag some shots of a project I’d already shot once.  We’re working on a series of shoots here to show the stages of the process.  Last time the old structure was still there, now the walls are up and the roof…

    Went out on another sunrise shoot Sunday.  It was pretty cold so we got some nice ice in the water.  We also scoped out Castle Kill afterwards and found some interesting locations there as well, but very challenging light.
