Made it out to my third straight day of the America’s Cup World Series here in Newport. This has been amazing to watch. These boats are amazing to watch, but to watch them sail in the exact water we race on every tuesday night is just amazing. They’re literally stored a 1/4 mile from where […]

I’ve been lucky enough to go watch both of the first two days of the America’s Cup World Series down in Newport this week. It’s amazing to see these boats race, they’re so fast and so close! New Zealand capsized around the weather mark yesterday right in front of us. They worked all night and […]

The America’s Cup World Series is in town. The containers rolled into town ~2 weeks ago and we’ve seen the village grow since then. Boat have been sailing starting this past week, but yesterday (Saturday) seems like it’s the first day they’ve all made it out on the water together. These boats are VERY impressive. […]

Well we have a snaggletoothed corn eater on our hands. Bella LOVES corn on the cob. She’ll eat a few rings around an ear w/o much trouble. We basically let her share and ear with Elias. She’s also almost walking. She’ll take 3~5 steps from one of us to the other, and she can stand […]

The RI Air National Guard air show is basically down the block from our house. So every year we go enjoy the show w/o the hassles of parking. Yes I’ve been to the actual show and it IS much better if you go, thanks to announcers and static displays we miss, but it’s also nice […]

I’m a bit late posting these. In fact the winners have already smashed the record over a day ago! The shot at the top is of Rambler, the new owner of the record at 39h 39m and 18s. I was lucky enough to get invited out on a boat this year by my friends Jamie […]

Well Isabella is almost walking at this point. She’ll go from one of us to the other for about ~5 steps… And she’s got 3 teeth! She also loves to say “hi” and “bye” to people when we’re out and about. She’s really changing a lot lately, but also getting into MUCH more trouble than […]

I made it up to New Hampshire Saturday morning with a few friends from NSOP to shoot the lupines. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a few years but never got around to. I’ve always know they were on “sugar hill” but we didn’t know much more beyond that and to watch for “sunset […]

I’ve been super busy this last week getting some lighthouses shot for the project I’m working on. That’s meant lots of sunrises (up at 4am) and a super fun adventure going out to Prudence Island on the 6am ferry, coming back on the 8:30am, then going down to Point Judith and taking the 11am out […]

In case you hadn’t noticed I’ve been shooting a lot of lighthouses lately… I’m working on a new site, lighthousesofri.com where I’ve shot all 21 of the lighthouses in Rhode Island. I’m putting together a guide & gallery where photographers can go to learn the best ways to shoot each light and people who appreciate […]

Well, not technically yet… but Memorial Day pretty much means it’s summer for us. It’s been another busy week for me. I had refinery work one morning, I had to sign my prints that are in the picture this gallery in PVD, then a forester oil change… I also rode my bike ~50 miles last […]

Made it down to Gooseberry for the first time this year. We had 4 NSOP guys there shooting and it was a great time. The light was great, but I always struggle with getting a good composition there. There are a LOT of rocks, but it’s making them work together for a strong composition that’s […]

We had another busy week this week. I’ve been working on a new website based around the lighthouses in Rhode Island. The ground work is in, but it’s certainly not a finished product yet. I’ve managed to get out and shoot all 21 lighthouses in the last 2 Fridays except for SouthEast light on Block […]

Andy and I went to Enders last weekend. We both have waders this year so we’re able to access new parts of places we’ve been several times which is a lot of fun. For this trip it didn’t really get us access to anything new, it just made stream crossings a LOT easier -vs- finding […]

Oh, and it was mother’s day!!! Ha ha. We had a great weekend this weekend. Saturday we went down to the carnival in Newport which was a lot of fun. Not sure if the rides or the beach was the highlight though. Bella didn’t get much out of the carnival but LOVED the beach. Elias […]
