  • Autumn at Enders Falls!

    Autumn at Enders Falls!

    Because fall at Ender’s Falls just sounds weird… Ha ha. Went to Enders Saturday morning with Bryan from NSOP and had a great time. We hit up every fall in the series (first time I’ve done that in one trip) so I was sure to get a “passable” shot of each just so I could…

  • Congrats Lindsey and Andrew!

    Congrats Lindsey and Andrew!

    I got the chance to go to a wedding for fun a few weekends ago. My cousin Lindsey got married in Minneapolis and Nikki and I had the pleasure of getting out there for a long weekend. We had a blast and they had an amazing wedding. It was great catching up with everyone. For…

  • IJJ 53 week update!

    IJJ 53 week update!

    Well the big news this “week” is I have a new job.  I’m the printing press operator at winkflash.com which is a local printing house (third biggest in the US and 4 miles from our house!).  It’s been a lot of fun learning the ropes, printing presses are no jokes and keep me on my toes.  It’s…

    Arca compatible holster solution:

    If you’re an L-bracket user looking to use a holster as well, you know this isn’t an easy problem to solve.  If you put the holster pin or plate or button onto your L-bracket it takes valuable space from your clamp.  It also makes the camera unbalanced when you set it down on a flat…

  • IJJ update 52

    IJJ update 52

    yes two updates in a day…  This one just covers the long weekend but I wanted to get caught up and doing them all at once was just a bit too much for one post IMHO so here we were.  We got to get out to the beach TWICE this weekend.  The first trip was…

  • Up Monroe…

    Up Monroe…

    So I obviously posted about climbing Mount Monroe already this weekend here.  But that was just the best images from the trip like I usually do with my landscape outings.  With this trip though it was an overnight at the lake of the clouds hut with a lot of hiking around so I’ve got a ton…

  • August catchup…

    August catchup…

    Yes I’m very behind with my family blog posts… I’ve been all over the place doing things lately including shooting weddings on the weekends as a second shooter for the Baillys… We’ve been doing a lot of fun things at night as well so I don’t have as much time at home to process and…

  • Lake of the clouds!

    Lake of the clouds!

    Well, I finally got up on/around Mount Washington for a good/great sunrise.  This was actually taken OF Mount Washington FROM the summit of Mount Monroe.  You can see the lake of the clouds as well.  I was lucky enough to get a free nights stay at the hut from my buddy David Simms.  I jumped…

  • Gradual Neutral Density Filter FAQ

    Gradual Neutral Density Filter FAQ

    Filters are one of my most used tools in my kit. After the obvious camera, lens and tripod I use for my landscapes, my filters are always the next pieces out of my bag (followed by my remote). I prefer to capture my images as best as possible in camera to avoid as much processing…

  • Beavertail!

    Beavertail!

    Made it down to Beavertail Saturday and was treated to a pretty epic sunrise.  It was quite calm and VERY low tide so I could get out on some rocks well south of the light reasonably safely (I didn’t even get my boots wet!).  Enjoy.  

  • Ned’s Lighthouse

    Ned’s Lighthouse

    Made it out to a new location last weekend, Ned’s Lighthouse.  Dave (Simms) suggested it so we headed out to a fun lighthouse in Massachusetts with easy access.  It’s was almost weird having it be at the end of a street in town with a park with plenty of parking and no rules.  Enjoy.

  • Beach Night

    Beach Night

    Let’s see here…  this update covers a beach night, a boat ride night, and a birthday/graduation/pool party.  Bella also learned to sit at the table all on her own.  She’s been walking all over the place which has been awesome.  I also think she can already dance better than I can!  Enjoy!

  • Gray Days

    Gray Days

    Sometimes I go out on my sunrise shoots and find drab gray mornings.  I don’t let it keep me from shooting.  I always work to get something worthwhile from every shoot.  Let me know what you think!

  • SHE WALKS!!!!

    SHE WALKS!!!!

    After all these updates and all these “she’s almost walking” comments, Isabella is finally walking!  I know it’s been a few weeks since my last update, but in that time she’s really walking now.  She can go from the front room through the kitchen to the back room w/o any help and will even do…

    Black Point 7.31.2012

    Made it down to Black Point in Narragansett this morning.  This is another place I’ve been before but never gotten anything I really loved.  That changed this morning.  Enjoy.
