Jenny Buffington at the Park

I like these in b&w.

Ansel Adams on the future of photography...

I give full credit to the excellent scientists and technicians involved in the photographic industry. The research, development, and design aspects, as well as production, are extraordinary. However, very few photographic manufacturing technicians comprehend photography as an art form, or understand the kinds of equipment the creative person requires. The standards are improving in some areas, however: in my opinion modern lenses approach the highest possible levels of perfection, and today's negative and printing materials are superior to anything I have known and used in the past. I am sure the next step will be the electronic image, and I hope I shall live to see it. I trust that the creative eye will continue to function, whatever technological innovations may develop.

Jake and Katie in Sepia

Sara and Brad

It was raining but we had fun.

Patricia

I met up with Trish while she was in town for a few days. She lives in North Jersey and I am shooting her wedding next Spring. Fortunately for me, the future groom lives and works not far from my home. This was shot at an old motel in Gap, PA.

Here's one from today's session.

Amy's Wedding

One from this weekend....

More Nicole

So, the theme was a hitch hiker traveling with her guitar. Would have been better with an acoustic but sometimes you just work with what ya got... Anyway, I'm pleased with the series but will probably reshoot it when I can put more time towards the setup....

Nicole in sepia

I'm back! Here's Nicole....

I have finally begun shooting projects again after a short stint at travel photography. (Some of which will be posted here eventually). Here's a sample from my first model shoot in a long time...

Photo of the Day

I have been swamped with weddings and prepping for travel. So.....click on the Photo of the Day link above to view a nice composite by Tom Chambers.

Ray and Vanessa

This one was from a wedding in 2009...

In the Orchard

Wow...

Did I really not post anything in April??? Well, things have been quite busy for me this season. Lots of weddings and events, sports teams and individual portraits, and just my regular old art concepts. Oh, and I'm busy planning another excursion to Europe for June. Three wedding weekends coming up and then I'm out of the country for a while. Hopefully I can remember to share some things here...

The bride...

More Lauren and Jeremy

Melissa Penn

This one was shot a couple of years ago at the remnants of the old Shawnee Resort. Unfortunately, the resort has since been torn down. That was a great location for stuff like this.

Sam and Eilena

Here's one from last week's engagement session. I can't wait to shoot this couple when it is not 17 degrees F outside. I'm glad their wedding is in July!

Kensey

Jessica

This is an old series I shot two years ago with a Nikon D40 and the 18-55mm kit lens. Not too shabby for a cheap 6.1 MP.....

Andrea

My newest model...

Danielle

Converted to b&w and added some background blurring.
