In passing...

In recent weeks I have been extremely busy working and shooting weddings, setting up for senior portraits that we are currently booking for, visit http://WWW.true-resolution.com for more details, and working to capture little league baseball and softball. Some days I do not have time to produce some images and run joyfully back to the studio to edit them. Instead, I use my Droid to capture images while on the run. My phone is an extension of my business, as a tool used it producing quick images, social networking as well as business networking, emailing, and being able to edit and manipulate photos that I capture when my pro gear is tucked away or just not conducive to the moment of being on the fly. It also works great when I am trecking around some trials, taking a break while running, or in passing while on the trail with my bike. Or like this evening when I was on my way out of the city, fo head out to Boston to work on a project.

Here is a small sample of images I've produce while in between working and production.

Autum Views

When the light passes through the thick, heavy, sometimes ominous and threatening clouds, Holyoke becomes some what enchanted with a beauty and charisma that commands attention. I made these three images today just after we finished a senior portrait shoot at the studio. These are the views we are presented with on a daily basis. The Northeast corner of the US typically has such great quality of light in this magnitude during the month of October. Today we enter November as this evening comes to a close. It will be come much colder and more grey will be seen in our day. Views like this are going to hibernate until next year. It was a nice day, a nice Halloween, and a surprise of wet, snow-like precipitation. Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween.

A Holyoke Wedding

The first weekend of October was celebrated by two weddings, in which I and my business partner Tim Lastowski had the honor to photograph. Friday night it rained and that put a damper on the photography. But we made due.

Saturday the weather was amazing, as well as the intensity of ceremony and wedding in its entirety. Two Holyoke Fire Fighters were wed at the church on the corner of Cabot and Chestnut st. Following the ceremony, as the bride and groom made their way to the front of the church, Holyoke Fire Fighters pulled the sounds of the truck and applauded in celebration for two of their own becoming husband and wife. Emotions were high as the Department welcomed them in a display of camaraderie, support, joy, and a show of brotherhood and family.

It was a beautiful ceremony and a glorious day for a wedding. We are very pleased to have been able to share in the joyful celebration. Congratulations to both couples!
