    Andy and I went to Hazard Rock this morning as another “group” shoot for the forum.  The sky was pretty amazing this morning so it was well worth the effort to get up so early.  The only down side to hazard rock is there’s one obvious EPIC spot (notice ~6 shots that are variations on…

    Woke up SUPER early again this morning for another “group” NSOP sunrise meet.  I say super because civil twilight (when we meet) was ~4:45am so I was up at 4:00am and out shortly after.  Group is in quotes because it was just me and Andy.  Jeff is in the middle of his drive to SF…

    We had another NSOP meet this morning.  Might be the last, or at least the last with Jeff (he’s the guy that knows the best spots) as he’s moving to CA in a couple weeks.  It’ll be sad to see him go, but at least we had 2 months of shooting together, plus he’ll still…

    Went out shooting with our NSOP sunrise group.  We’ve been having a ton of fun on these shoots and getting some great shots, but I’d say this was my favorite shoot yet.  We went to one of Jeff’s favorite spots down in Narragansett called hazard rock.  It’s at the end of Hazard street.  I’ve driven…

    A few friends of mine from my photo forum have been getting together to shoot sunrises lately.  This is our fourth meet, this time it was at Ft Wetherill in Jamestown.  We’d probably all agree none of us get our best work done at these meets (between it beeing way too early and us talking…

    I got up and shot another sunrise Saturday with my friends.  This week we went to Sakonnet Point which was a bit of a drive considering it’s still in RI, but was over an hour away!  We had a great time as usual and I got some shots I’m pretty happy with.

    I got up super early this morning again for another NSOP landscape/seascape shoot.  We had a blast shooting Black Point in Narragansett.  I got a few good shots and had a ton of fun.  I’m not thrilled on the processing of these, but it’s a new camera, computer and software, so I’m working the kinks…

    After a rough week at work, some of the guys on my photo forum were having a group meet down @ Weakapog beach this morning, so I decided to join them.  It was actually very nice to get out and shoot something w/o people in it.  That’s what I generally prefer shooting, but it was…

    So today we went to Big J’s, BJ’s, then TJ’s to do a little shopping.  Big J’s is Big John Leyden’s tree farm for a Christmas tree.  We learned about him back when we first moved to RI because he was on some morning TV show.  So my parents have been going there forever, and…

    Another week, another hurricane.  This time it was Kyle, and he went east of us, off the tip of the cape, but close enough we got a good swell, some wind, and a ton of rain.  I went down to the Monohan’s dock again to check it out.

    Hanna blew through town last night.  We got some heavy rain Saturday and a bit of breeze, but nothing worse than we get from a nor’ easter…  She did kick up a decent swell though, so I headed down to Monohan’s in Narragansett to shot this morning.  The waves were great and the crowd was…

    Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a film scanner.  Well it’s not really a film scanner, it’s a scanner that can scan film (or so the geeks will tell you).  But it works and it scans slides, negatives (B+W or color) and most importantly 120 and 35mm film.  What’s 120?  Well it’s medium…

    Nikki and I were going through some old slides and I took some time to take some pictures of them to share.  These are all from 1999.  It’s pretty interesting to see 10 years later all my favorites have Nikki in them.  We’ve been to some incredible places.

    I must admit, I’ve lived in (or very close to) Jamestown since 1991, but I had never been to the Fools Rules Regatta.  I knew about it, I knew Chris Powell was the “chief fool” (he runs the regatta) and I knew the basics.  I’d just always had other commitments the day of the event…

    Went to the RI Airshow on Saturday. We had a few members of my photography site come over to shoot it as well, then we had an awesome BBQ on the deck afterwards. We all had a ton of fun, and got some decent images even though it was hazy. Most of us also got…
