2012 Air Show!
The RI Air National Guard air show is basically down the block from our house. So every year we go enjoy the show w/o the hassles of parking. Yes I’ve been to the actual show and it IS much better if you go, thanks to announcers and static displays we miss, but it’s also nice…

Newport to Bermuda Race 2012
I’m a bit late posting these. In fact the winners have already smashed the record over a day ago! The shot at the top is of Rambler, the new owner of the record at 39h 39m and 18s. I was lucky enough to get invited out on a boat this year by my friends Jamie…

IJJ update 45
Well Isabella is almost walking at this point. She’ll go from one of us to the other for about ~5 steps… And she’s got 3 teeth! She also loves to say “hi” and “bye” to people when we’re out and about. She’s really changing a lot lately, but also getting into MUCH more trouble than…

Lupines!
I made it up to New Hampshire Saturday morning with a few friends from NSOP to shoot the lupines. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a few years but never got around to. I’ve always know they were on “sugar hill” but we didn’t know much more beyond that and to watch for “sunset…

IJJ update #44!
I’ve been super busy this last week getting some lighthouses shot for the project I’m working on. That’s meant lots of sunrises (up at 4am) and a super fun adventure going out to Prudence Island on the 6am ferry, coming back on the 8:30am, then going down to Point Judith and taking the 11am out…

Lighthouses!
In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve been shooting a lot of lighthouses lately… I’m working on a new site, lighthousesofri.com where I’ve shot all 21 of the lighthouses in Rhode Island. I’m putting together a guide & gallery where photographers can go to learn the best ways to shoot each light and people who appreciate…

Happy Summer!
Well, not technically yet… but Memorial Day pretty much means it’s summer for us. It’s been another busy week for me. I had refinery work one morning, I had to sign my prints that are in the picture this gallery in PVD, then a forester oil change… I also rode my bike ~50 miles last…

Gooseberry 5.20.2012
Made it down to Gooseberry for the first time this year. We had 4 NSOP guys there shooting and it was a great time. The light was great, but I always struggle with getting a good composition there. There are a LOT of rocks, but it’s making them work together for a strong composition that’s…

IJJ update 42
We had another busy week this week. I’ve been working on a new website based around the lighthouses in Rhode Island. The ground work is in, but it’s certainly not a finished product yet. I’ve managed to get out and shoot all 21 lighthouses in the last 2 Fridays except for SouthEast light on Block…

Enders 5.12.2012
Andy and I went to Enders last weekend. We both have waders this year so we’re able to access new parts of places we’ve been several times which is a lot of fun. For this trip it didn’t really get us access to anything new, it just made stream crossings a LOT easier -vs- finding…

The carnival came to town!
Oh, and it was mother’s day!!! Ha ha. We had a great weekend this weekend. Saturday we went down to the carnival in Newport which was a lot of fun. Not sure if the rides or the beach was the highlight though. Bella didn’t get much out of the carnival but LOVED the beach. Elias…

IJJ update 40
yes this is the second family update today/tonight. Sorry! This one covers the last week. It’s been a fun and hectic week, but they all are. The kids are doing great. Bella has 2 bottom teeth and some top teeth are coming soon. She’s stillllll not walking but is getting closer every day. She’s climbing…

Landscape catch up…
Sorry to put 3 landscape sessions into one post, but the Narragansett shoot was a washout light wise, total lifeless gray morning… Watch hill was a great morning, and so was Devil’s hopyard, but I’m working on producing less shots but keeping the quality higher overall, so one post seemed to make more sense. Enjoy.

PAD catch-up!
I know I know, I’m waaaaay behind on my PAD/kids shots posting… I have a general rule that when I’ve got a job to process, I won’t set it aside to process anything personal until the job is done. So I’m just now getting to the last three weeks worth of family shots. This is…

Jen and Mike at Castle Hill
Jen and Mike had a wonderful wedding and reception at Castle Hill. It was a bit foggy but the ceremony was still amazing out at the lighthouse itself (with the foghorn going). The reception was at the inn and the food was amazing. Congratulations Jen and Mike!
