Making Waves in Photography

This is one of the more unusual photographic specialties I've ever known of, and the work is spectacular.

Most Stupid Product Tie-In In the History of the World

Here.

...well, they all do roll down the road I guess...

What I Did on My Birthday...

Yesterday, I took a short ride, subjected one of my D300's to a few minutes of intense snowfall, and shot this.

My Wife is Walking!

My wife, Libby, is a breast cancer survivor. Her mother, a vibrant, loving and caring woman, who died at age 42, was not so fortunate.

Libby is walking in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer this coming May to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer awareness and treatment. She successfully completed the 2001 Washington DC walk in memory of her mom.

Any support that you would care to provide will be appreciated more than I can tell you.

If you are so inclined, please visit Lib's special web page and consider making a donation in support of this cause.

She, and the 1 out of 9 women over the globe who are diagnosed with this disease thank you!

Ice. Boo. Hiss.

...but only a few intermittent power outages (so far).

At the Scene of the Crime

This guy had no problem remaining at the scene of the crime yesterday. That bird feeder is supposed to be in a tree...

NOT Our New Pet

The infamous Eastview bear finally made it to our house the other day. I'd just gotten back from a shoot and glanced out the window only to see it chowing down on the contents of our Hummingbird feeder.

He or she would have probably hung around the rest of the day, but I had another shoot to attend, so I ultimately made noise inside the house until he headed into the woods. Prior to this, at one point he was as close as two feet to the back door.

The DNR officer I called suggested we remove our bird feeders and keep our trash cans in the garage to help ensure that our yard wouldn't be added to the bear's usual route through the neighborhood.

I like nature as much as the next guy, but I have no desire to see this, or any other bear, at my home again.

The not so great pictures were shot through a double pane window that could have stood to be cleaned, but alas, no time to do so.

Autumn is Coming...

...and if you have any doubt, check the Weis Market entrance area....

Another FCC Ad Campaign Shot

...with thanks to Pierre Bowins for giving it the star treatment.

Something Different

Some early color photographs you probably have not seen before.

FCC Ad Campaign Begins

The first ad I shot for Frederick Community College's latest campaign ran in print and online recently. I really like the design of these.

Lorenzo Moscia

Really strong photojournalism.

I can't believe I've never heard of him until today.

Random Summer Pictures

Spring...

...has officially replaced Autumn as my favorite season. They're both beautiful times of the year here, but Autumn isn't tainted with the large scale leaf management operation that I have to anticipate as winter approaches...

Sweet(s)

I don't do a ton of food shoots, but for whatever the reason most tend to be of sweets; candy, cookies, etc.

This is great, because we always have to have more product on hand than needed for the photos.

I'm not talking about morsels that we've had our hands all over and arranged in the studio, but the extra pieces which are left in the packages after the ones for the beauty shots have been selected.

I'm the lucky guy who gets to keep most of the leftovers.

Yesterday I shot a number of products for Catoctin Popcorn. If you visit their web site you'll see that this is not your everyday popcorn.

Tuxedo is one of their newest specialties, and it tastes as good as it looks in the photo below.

Here's a quick G9 snapshot of some of the other leftovers which currently reside in both my kitchen and my stomach:

While popcorn is this company's specialty, they also have numerous other treats available, including gormet nuts, brittles, and more. Good stuff!

I Made The Cut

I made a submission to former Men's Journal and Outside magazine Photo Editor Rob Haggart's call for photographs to be included in a slide show. He's circulating it among other photo editors of national magazines and assorted big shots.

Hopefully all 297 of us who made it will now become rich and famous.

I understand that there were over 3300 photos submitted, all told.

I'm very pleased to have a shot in the show. Thank you, Rob Haggart!
