forget me knot...

happy monday... so.. taking 2 minutes away from editing to take a quick look at some sites that I adore... went to fred flare and found these cute forget me knot rings....

funny faces

I was working on some photos from a wedding I shot a couple weeks ago... and thought that I would share some of the preparation photos...Samantha, the bride, often had a very humorous and animated expression on her face while getting ready for her ceremony...

The Circus

The Circus, 1870-1950 -
A book filled with lovely photographs of Circus performers. I've always loved the circus... all of the costumes and colors.... You can get this great book at TASCHEN
doing some editing today, but also keeping an eye on NBC's coverage of the inauguration.... wish I was there !!!

Hibah & Jacob

some shots from a 3 hour wedding I covered this past Saturday.... Hibah & Jacob

Featured Artist

I am a featured artist on myartspace.com for the next month or so... if you get a chance, check it out... many interesting contemporary artists can be found here

09 calendar

hurray!! My Tim Walker 2009 Calendar arrived... I love his photographs... if you do too, then you can get one of these calendars here

a quick portrait I did of Sam last night... I kinda like it...
I wanted to work on a new project this week, that required being out doors... that will have to wait since it is expected to be bitterly cold in the Northeast over the next couple of days... oh well

Samantha & John

photos from Saturday's winter wedding....

back to work today... I've worked off an on for the past couple weeks.. a meeting here.. a meeting there and of course, responding to e-mails and phone calls... other than this general maintenance, I haven't really done much real work over the past couple weeks... it was a nice break... we had the holidays, a couple of day trips and a couple of days of watching tv all day long in the pj's... it was nice

fun

the holiday was nice and taking time off has been fun.... yesterday, we went to Mass MOCA for a little day trip... the exhibitions were all great... but, this one interactive installation, pictured above, made for a great photo op (however they were taken with my teeny point and shoot camera)... the bottom one was taken by a kind stranger...

cuff

ok... I wasn't going to post a lot this week but I just came across these great mongram cuffs by Katie Q... check out the Etsy shop here ... there's lots of other lovely items there as well...

Happy Holidays

I'm taking a bit of a vacation this week.... I'm doing some work, but hope to be caught up enough, by the end of today, to just have fun for the rest of the week... My blog postings may be few and far between this week (if I post anything)...

down time...

I thought that I'd be completely bored in December.. maybe even get a little break.. not the case... I am however, sending out the final wedding photo batch on my plate!!! My next wedding isn't until January 10th... so a bit of down time, for the Holidays... I've still got some other things to work on...to my amazement... an album to design, corp photos to send out and a couple other portrait sessions...

book

I want these 2 books!!!!

photos from yesterday

here are a few photos from my photo session with Stephanie and Assaf yesterday, at their home in Beacon NY....

personal photo...

Jake... all wrapped up

so... I have this blog, on which I like to post a lot of my professional work, some cool stuff I find (as seen below) and sometimes a personal photo or two... like in this entry... not all of the photos I am posting are well thought out, or taken with a professional camera... the one above was taken with my really crappy (compared to my pro cam), tiny (therefore convenient), digital camera..... so the quality is no good... but my nephew is so cute!

these appetizer/dessert plates are so great... inexpensive too... there are three different designs... I found these at cb2 ...

I have been online browsing a ton lately... with the holidays coming up and all....
check out these awesome re-usable and stylish shopping bags... baggu ... these are perfect for carrying all your stuff... what a great gift! They come in tons of lovely colors too....
