    Went back to stepping stone falls today to shoot something interesting in the cold with all the new snow we received Sunday (~18″ with much deeper drifts).  Had a great time shooting in some difficult light.  The color shots at the end have descriptions under them.

    Well I know this is a day late, sorry for that.  I just got asked to do a bus trip on Sunday which messed up our entire weekend schedule.  We ended up going to my parents for Christmas Dinner as they’re off the SLC and Telluride CO for actual Christmas.  We had a great time…

    Went out to Sachuest again this morning.  For whatever reason I really like it there.  I think it has to do with it’s rocky beaches, but also with it’s variety as there are the big rocks with waves crashing as well as beaches and some wildlife.  We had 5 guys there again this morning enjoying…

    Just got a few things in today.  Moo cards are something I’d heard of before coming from flickr.  They’re actually an independent company that just has the ability to use your flickr images to make cards (that’s how I did these).  They’re from London but have a US “base” that just happens to be in…

    Elias got to meet Santa finally!  He’s been saying “Ho Ho Ho!!!” every time he’s seen one for a few weeks now, but his daycare had “breakfast with Santa” Saturday morning.  It was a fun event where we all had breakfast and they had Santa there ready to take requests.  Elias wasn’t ready to sit…

    Went back to Sachuest Point again today. There are a lot of shooting options there and we “scouted” a few last weekend I wanted to get back to. We had 6 guys there today which was great with another new guy to the group (a friend who’d just never gotten up with us before) and…

    Well we had our third thanksgiving today.  2 weeks ago was with my photo friends at our house, last week was with Nikki’s family, then tonight we went over to my parents to catch up after their delivery south, so my mom figured why not cook a turkey?!  Which was of course amazing and I’m…

    Went to Sachuest Point this morning for the sunrise. The weather was terrible, it rained on us enough I only took ~10 shots the entire morning. We had a great group from my forum though, 5 guys for the first time in a long time. We ended up walking to the north end w/o cameras…

    Made it out for another NSOP sunrise this morning.  This time we went to a new spot in Sakonnet RI.  It’s a bit of a drive considering it’s still in the same tiny state (but I do have to drive though Mass to get there), but it is a very interesting location.  For some reason…

    This week was pretty much awesome.  I got to ski last weekend, and we started this week with leftovers from last weekends Thanksgiving day w/my photo friends.  So I had awesome lunches all week and “all week” was only three days!  Thursday was Thanksgiving at the plumbs which was awesome as usual.  Friday we went…

    Well this weekend was very entertaining!!!  Nikki had her Bday party at the Plumbs with Pat and Russell on Friday night.  I said 34th because there was a type-o on the cake!  But I’m sure that’ll come up again at some point…  Then I went skiing on Saturday for the first time of the year. …

    Went for my first NSOP sunrise shoot in a few weeks due to my cold. It was an OK morning at Hazard… the sun never really showed up and there weren’t even any good clouds as I’d hoped, but the waves certainly showed up! I’d checked the surf report throughout the weekend and it was…

    Well we’re all starting to feel a bit better!  I’m still coughing a bit with a tickle in my throat, but it’s more annoying than an issue/cold.  Elias and Nikki are both better as well.  This weekend was a bit of a disapointment though as it rained ALL DAY yesterday.  I stayed home with Elias…

    ugh, we can’t seem to catch a break around here.  First, Elias and Nikki were sick 2 weekends ago.  Nikki had a sore throat Sunday but that was it.  Elias had a small cough and ended up with an ear infection (not his first or last, just a PITA with antibiotics).  Well then I caught…

    The weather finally co-operated so Spencer and I could get over to the Carnegie Abbey site for one final series for his proposal.  He wanted strong shadows on the courtyard so we needed to shoot before noon but also on a day without a lot of clouds.  Being fall in New England it took almost…
