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 […]

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 […]

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.

Went down to Point Judith Saturday morning to grab another lighthouse. Sky was pretty much bluebird, but I grabbed one good shot of the lighthouse before the sun came up. The full moon set behind was also amazing to watch. Enjoy.

I think I’m hooked. I left the house at 10pm last night, drove to pinkham notch, slept in the parking lot for a few hours then hit the trail at 5am in hopes of bagging a sunrise over the ravine. Yeah, mother nature had other ideas….. but I still went for a great hike! […]

Made it down to Watch Hill for a pretty amazing sunrise shoot. This is one of those shoots were I’m glad I don’t listen to the weather reports and I just go no-matter-what… Some fellow shooters told me afterwards that the forecast was for fog. And I DID see a bunch of fog on my […]

Bryan and I headed down to Sakonnet this morning and froze our tails off. It wasn’t too cold, but it was blowing almost 20 and with the humidity it all made it quite brisk. I just wish I hadn’t left the gloves in the car… This is one of the 21 lighthouses in RI, I’m trying to […]

Been a busy few days. Since I’m trying to make photography my full time gig now, I’m trying to get more shots of a lot of the landmarks in Rhode Island. It’s been pointed out to me that a lot of my shots are very similar in that they’ve got “water ‘n rocks” w/o much […]

Made it out to Devil’s Hopyard this past weekend for another sunrise. It was supposed to snow 4~6″ the night before and into the morning but we only had a dusting. It was still snowing the entire time we were there. I also recently picked up some waders for shooting in places like this and […]

Dave and I tried to make it to Tuckerman’s again this past weekend. The weather was terrible (100+ MPH winds at the summit) and the avalanche conditions were even worse thanks to the rain that came Friday then froze on the surface. We still hiked up a bit (I skinned, he hiked) before officially […]

I got out shooting with Andy and Dave from NSOP last weekend. We hit up Big River during a snow storm. It was a great morning and one that proved to me that I need waders… The path here goes up the opposite side of the river. To cross we had to go all the […]

Been shooting a bit since I got back from the delivery w/o much time to post. Sorry for the mass post, but I felt it was better to wrap up 2011 with ONE good post instead of three lesser posts from 3 different locations all at once… The first few part of this set is […]

While in the Bahamas after the trip south, I was able to shoot both the sunset the day we arrived and the sunrise the next morning (before I left). Leo and Peter were nice enough to come with me, which was crucial as you really need to pay attention to get the dinghy in and […]

yeah, but still not enough to ski… Dave and I went up to Tuckermans Ravine Saturday the 10th. We had great plans of an epic sunrise over the ravine as well as hermit lake. We left RI at midnight and Dave drove us “through the night” getting there at 4am. We then hiked in in […]
