Niagara Falls

Family came to visit this week and we found ourselves at Niagara
Falls. Did the tourist things and (hopefully) got some good shots from
the Maid of the Mist. Here's one from the iPhone... More to come!

Destination: Canada

What a great time I had last weekend. I had the opportunity to shoot the wedding between Allison and Joe up in Canada. These two are a great couple and I had a blast. Here's a few quick ones from the day...

More Kim and Geoff!

I had the chance to finish up shooting Kim and Geoff's engagement photographs a few days ago. We wanted to make sure we got a few with their dog Shaughnessy so we got together and with NYC as a backdrop we headed out to have a little fun despite the wind and the threat of rain. Our luck held and we beat the rain and snuck a few on the beach in Hoboken. Yes, Hoboken has a beach...

Quick visit to NY

Ok, I wanted to go into the city for a equipment demonstration that was being held this morning so I had a few options. Drive in early. I hate this one. That means an early wake-up and traffic, and parking...Ugh!

Next option, the train. Again, another early wake up because it's a two hour ride plus all the train schedule hassle.

And then my personal favorite. Go in the night before, see friends and make a fun trip of it! Sure this one is a bit more expensive but it's a great excuse to make your friends hop the subway to Times Square (the locals never go there unless they have to) and have some fun.

Now I try to be as frugal as the next person so I keep track of frequent flier miles and use cards that give me rewards points and so on. Well last night I got a huge payoff! For some reason which is unknown and will likely never ever happen again, the W Hotel saw fit to not only give me a room for my points, but that room was one of their suites! Sure it was extra points, but who the heck cares?! I mean really, a swanky corner room overlooking Times Square on points! That's unheard of! Anyway, it was really fun to be able to hook up with an old friend, grab some dinner and then retire to the sitting room and chat as we looked down on the lights of the city from the 52nd floor. Anyway, here are a couple of camera phone snapshots from the room. Between the glass and the one inch window opening (no jumpers please) I did what I could...

Looking down out of the window. I mean you just have to snap one of these don't you?...




Oh yeah, the equipment demonstration was good also!

Some days you get lucky!

I'll explain later....

Kim and Geoff

I wanted to say a big "Thank You!" to Kim and Geoff for selecting me to photograph their wedding. And since we all happened to be down in New Orleans and since it is such a great city, I just had to steal a some of their time and get some quick pictures of them. We had a great time and Geoff kept us all laughing. Maybe he'll let me post a few of those pictures! You two were a blast! I can hardly wait for the wedding, it is really going to be a lot of fun. Thanks and congratulations!
