Thanks to everyone at NJASID!

Whew! It's almost Wednesday already!

The past few days have just flown on by. I have been working with the folks from the New Jersey Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (NJASID) during their 2007 Design Summit in Lambertville, NJ. What a great bunch of folks. As I have mentioned several times, I'm always looking for a great seminar or workshop to keep the learning going and that's exactly what these designers were doing also. Learning new and updated techniques and skills on how to better serve their clients. Summit attendees, I will have those photos available very shortly.

Sometimes, as the fly on the wall photographer you get to hear bits of some of these lectures, and let me tell you what, this was some good stuff! I learned so much! I learned that when it comes time for me to design that new home or studio, or even a remodel, I need to look for one of these folks. Just as I stress the importance of hiring a professional photographer when it comes time for those important events in your life, you should really think about consulting one of these folks if you are doing any design work in your home or business.

And as if all of that that wasn't enough, I got to spend a little time exploring Lambertville, NJ for the first time. I checked out the Lambertville House and then crossed over the Delaware River for a great tour and wine tasting at Crossing Vineyards .

I will get some images posted here as soon as I get a little rest, but all in all, not a bad way to spend a few busy days! Thanks again NJASID!

Cooler temperatures....

Playing some catch up around here with all sorts of things as autumn starts to roll in. After all, getting ready for winter in New York is a bit different than in Texas. I have to get hay for the horses, figure out how the heck I'm going to get them water in the middle of a snowstorm, etc. etc. That and about a thousand other little things that I had forgotten about when I moved away. Yeah, that's about enough about that...

Anyway, I'd like to say thanks to Kati. She's a young woman from the area who I met the other day and she agreed to sit for a few shots in the afternoon sun. Hopefully we'll get a chance to work together more very soon. Thanks Kati!



Well, that's about it for right now. I am looking forward to seeing the wonderful New England fall foliage as those leaves start to turn. Already you can see some tress starting and it won't be long until the hills are bursting with color!

Picture Day!

And you thought that was only for kids at school....



Does your company use a picture of you or your employees in it's newsletter, proposals, or other internal or web communications? If so, are you putting your best face forward? Remember, it's that first impression that the reader gets when they see your picture that will help shape their opinion of the material they are reading.

No matter who you are or what your profession is, having a quality image of yourself available can be very important. When you get the call for a last minute picture to go with that press release or newspaper article or proposal, you want it to show you in the best possible light, not some snapshot from the last company picnic. Same goes for those images on advertising and business cards. It's the first thing a potential client may see. Isn't it worth the small extra cost to have it match the quality of the product or service you are selling?

If you would like more information about the services that we can offer for groups and businesses, please contact us today!

Ok, time for a bit of catching up...

Sorry for the month long lapse. Since I last updated I have been busy with a trip to Montana and another trip to New Orleans and Biloxi. As some of you know, one of the things I love about photography is that it is constantly changing and evolving. There are always new techniques to try and old ones to refine. With that in mind I recently attended a great workshop given by Mike Fulton of Tri Coast Photography. Mike is an incredible photographer and an excellent instructor. With Mike behind the podium we learned some new tricks about an old friend, flash photography. Using flash with with your camera can sometime be a bit of a challenge, no matter who you are. Well, Mike and his partner Cody are two of the best in the business when it comes to using flash so who better to learn from? And learn we did. As a matter of fact, we had a blast!

Here's a few shots from the workshop. I hope you enjoy them, I sure had fun making them.
