I just heard that I was accepted into the Wedding Photojournalist Association! (a.k.a. The WPJA) I try to photograph weddings in a photo-journalistic style, yet offer timeless portraits. I specialized in fine art photography throughout my schooling, so somehow it isn’t surprising how I have taken on a candid and documentary approach to my weddings.…

Johanna is so bright! Can’t you just see it in her eyes? It’s seems amazing that in one afternoon her personality came through in so many shots. She is my main model for the “sweater project”. She is also the daughter of the woman who knits these amazing pieces, Kris Pastoriza. The reason that she…

The other day I received a phone call from my friend Jim Surette. “Hey I think Dan Corn and I are going to try and ski Whitehorse tomorrow if you want to check it out.” For all of you that don’t know what Whitehorse is- it’s usually a rock climbing cliff here in North Conway…

Winter is slowly making it’s way here in North Conway, NH. (woooohoooo!) The more wintery, the better! That’s how we like it up here! So it’s right around now we start doing our snow and ice dances to the heavens. Sarah Garlick and I are revamping The 2008 IMCS Mount Washington Valley Ice Festival this…

Turkeys! What would Thanksgiving be without turkeys? Not as yummy for sure! I debated on posting the image below. I love to photograph ANYTHING that catches my eye, and this turkey did. He was shot this spring, and hopefully it doesn’t make anyone too sad….you can know that this turkey was not confined to a…

Recently, Rick Wilcox shared his “museum” of old gear with me. I was fascinated by it all! And thus, new creative ideas began running through my head. Here is a little peak at “The Piton Project”. I have only just started it, and I’m excited to see where it goes. You can see the series…
