More on doing business locally...

I just wanted to say thanks to the folks over at Blanket Oil in Pine Bush. The reason is unimportant but they know why. You guys are the best and it's just one more reason why I like to do business locally whenever possible! Thanks!

Community good deeds...

Just a quick shout out to Andrew and some of the other local Boy Scouts for their work at Infant Savior Church. Andrew is going for his Eagle Scout project and it involves removing and replacing a bunch of dilapidated fencing near the church's pre-school. Thanks a bunch Andrew and good luck on your project and we'll be checking back in on you!

What a great weekend! The leaves have turned and are starting to drop but we still had enough time for one last drive through the countryside to enjoy them. Laura and I stopped at the famous Roscoe Diner and enjoyed a piece of pie and then took in the sights. As I have said before, this time of year in NY is really special with all the colors and the crisp air.

This is a busy week with the Photo Expo in NYC. It's always a good time and it's a bit like a candy store for photographers. New gear and goodies!

What do photographers do on their day off?

It's obvious of course! They go looking for things to take pictures of! And that is exactly what I did today. This time of year is just incredible with the leaves changing and the cool temperatures, I just love it! And so when I was asked to get out of the office for a few hours and just go do some shooting for the fun of it, I jumped at the chance. I joined two other local photographers and we headed up into Sullivan County and spent the better part of the day trying to find some of the covered bridges that still remain there. And after a little bit of confusion and a few U-turns, we found three.

Here are a few shots from today. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to the next day off!

Ouch!!

Well it was just a matter of time. There are so many deer running around this area that it was bound to happen. Last night while returning home from dinner a deer jumped out in front of the car and there was just no where to go. Luckily I was going fairly slow so no one (and no animals) were more than shaken up. The deer bounded on his way and I was able to limp the car the 1/4 mile to the house.

Now comes the fun part of the deductible and the rental car and the claim and the fixing, etc. To be fair though, USAA has been great so far and if the rest of the process goes as smoothly as the claim part the car will be back on the road in no time.





Be careful out there folks!

Congratulations all around!

It has been a busy couple of weeks and I need to do some catching up. Here are a few shots from some recent weddings. Things have just been going crazy around here but I wanted to get a couple of images up on the blog because I am getting behind and we all know how bad I am about that. This time of year is always so incredible and these couples were so much fun to work with.

A big thanks to Lorrie and Don and to Robin and Steve for letting me be a part of their special day!
