apples!

Another beautiful Sunday in the Berkshires and Laura and I decided to enjoy it by visiting Hilltop Orchards in Richmond MA.

Eat it, it’s good for you.

Laura took this one of me, so happy with my Red Delicious.

Can you see the people on their tractor ride?

And a free wine tasting on the way out.

today: cat in box, autumn in the Berkshires, bees, building, basement

Today I did a variety of shooting, beginning with the surprise that my cat fit herself into a Tofurky box.

Then I headed to Kripalu and was inspired by the fall beauty along the way...

While shooting and driving may not be recommended, it creates an enticing blur in the trees.

After arriving at Kripalu, to photograph the progress of their annex construction, I met this hard-working bee in the parking lot.

While putting my grill away in my basement (goodbye summer) I was struck by this small vine which has managed to grow here.

Berkshire woods

The forests here are young, but wondrous. These photos are film from the summer which I just developed. Stay tuned to see fall colors...

P.S. Creating this post while watching tonight's presidential debate is keeping me sane! Everyone out there: vote, vote, vote! And talk to your friends and family about their choice. It's the very least we can do.

actress's headshot

Recently I photographed a beautiful NYC-based actress named Meaghan. She called me in need of a headshot quick—she had a film audition in 2 days!

Luckily we were able to make time for a shoot, and I just received the good news that she got the part!

remembering Colorado

This week I primarily photographed kids, hundreds of them for their School Picture Day. It’s an interesting gig, and often fun. But I can’t show you these photos as they belong to the parents of each of the darling children, but trust me, there are many many painfully cute kids in elementary schools throughout New England.

On the "post" side of photography, I spent time this week selecting a photo to print for my little Brother’s birthday. I chose a photo from our trip to Colorado last summer, so I was back in the 2007 archives and thought I’d share some of these images.

If the images seem to have a different quality, you’re picking up the saturated color resulting from the fact that I shot good old traditional slide film—Kodak KodaChrom to be exact.

Dale by Mirror Lake, at 11,000 feet! (Don't be fooled by his smile, the water was freezzzzzzing!)




That’s the little man himself. When I say he’s my “little” brother, I guess I’m not being clear that he’s 19, was a wrestling champ at his high school, and the diameter of his neck approaches the size of my waist.

Likewise, this is my “little” sister Valerie.





Home away from home.

If you’re curious, this is the winning photo for Don’s Bday gift.

Me, Don (“little” Brother), Dale, and Valerie. Photo by our 5th companion Johanna.
