Finally back behind the camera!

Wow, things have been non-stop here lately. Just trying to get settled in has been a challenge. Bills, drivers license, a bazillion magazine address changes... Not to mention the little matter of a house remodel in progress! The plan will include a nice shooting area for now and hopefully a complete studio down the road.

In the mean time I have be fortunate enough to touch base with a few local models and even managed to find the time to spend some camera time with one of them. Allow me to introduce Rose. She was a blast to work with and I think you will be seeing more of her in the future. Thanks again Rose!







Hopefully things will soon settle into some sort of groove around here. It's been tough leaving behind my Texas clients and friends. I will miss them all and I hope that they keep in touch. Perhaps our paths will cross again. I hope so, life is too short.

Recovery...

Well, the rains have stopped and the flood waters are starting to slowly recede. The Goshen/Florida, New York area was hit pretty hard and the fields are now lakes. Many of the locals are saying that this is the worst flood they have seen.

Same field a few days apart. Gray and rainy one day....


Absolutely beautiful a couple days later....

A Wet Welcome...

Well, as I am trying to get everything settled up here in NY I am finding that Mother Nature isn't going to be giving me much help. At least not in the near future. In the past couple of days we've had about five inches of rain and that has really made a mess of things. Sure, it could be worse, it could have been snow! The gurus say that it would have been like four or five feet of snow. Fun, fun, fun....

Anyway, I was doing some driving around today because cabin fever was setting in and thought I'd take a few quick shots to show you all what you are missing up here.

Enjoy!



Drivers make their way through a flooded section of Route 17K just west of Montgomery, New York. The recent storms have brought over five inches of rain to the area leaving many roads flooded or impassable.


The flooded paddocks of this horse farm west of Montgomery, New York are evidence of the amount of rain the area has received recently.
