Atlantic Building II
Had another architecture shoot tonight. This time it was the interior of one of Atlantic Quality’s projects. They’ve done the entire project, so I basically shot the entire house. It was a lot of fun shooting with the owners home as I got to meet them and see how much they enjoy their house. I…

Carnegie Abbey II
I got a chance to go back the the Carnegie Abbey site again on Tuesday. Spencer had wanted to get the interiors shot as well as the exteriors we shot Sunday. We opted to come back another day so we wouldn’t be in the owners way and so we could have some better light. We…

Happy Columbus Day!
Yep, posting a day late, but only because it’s a 3 day weekend here. Nikki had it off all along, but I didn’t know until Friday around noonish. We had a busy weekend though. Saturday we went to Katie Hayden and Matt’s for dinner and had a blast. As the boys get closer in age…

Carnegie Abbey Architecture
Got the chance to shoot an amazing home in Portsmouth Sunday afternoon. The home has been recently finished and I was asked to shoot some exterior shots for the architect. It’s right on the water in a very secluded neighborhood. The weather cooperated as much as can be expected for an afternoon shoot with some…

Ayer’s Gap
Andy Eric and I went to Ayer’s Gap this morning in Connecticut. We had a great time hiking up the creek bed shooting as we went. I’ve really been enjoying getting away from the ocean a bit lately as it seems easier to get good shots. Maybe not great shots, but they’re hard on the…

New Gear: Canon s90!
I picked up a canon s90 the other night at Best Buy as a band aid on the whole video thing. I think it’ll do OK with videos for now, but we’ll see. BB had ~10 hidden under the counter, the gal didn’t even know they were there. I’d called earlier and just read them a sku…

Happy Birthday Great Grandma!
Well we took Elias for his first plane ride down to Myrtle Beach this weekend. His GREAT Grandmother had her 90th birthday (today actually) so we flew down for the weekend. Mom had flown down earlier, Dad flew down the same day, and Aunt Jess and Uncle Ben flew in a bit later (and are…

Night architecture shoot:
Nikki’s cousin Ralph asked me to shoot some of his projects for his business. I’ve always loved architecture and seeing houses get remodeled. This is something I think I’ll really enjoy shooting with him as we work on this project. He drove me around tonight showing me a few of his projects and then we…

Adirondacks!
Went up to the Adirondacks this weekend. We went up with a group of friends from NSOP and had a blast. The sun didn’t really co-operate that much but the leaves did and the weather was pretty awesome Saturday. Had a great time shooting with Eric, Jerome, and Jeremy. These were all taken in the…

NSOP weekends!
Well this weekend was amazing. One of my good friends from my photo forum invited us up to his parent places in Speculator NY. We had a total of 9 adults and 4 kids there this weekend with the kids ages 9, 19, 22, and 28 months old. The older three had a blast with…

EAJ 80 week update:
Wow am I beat… Busy but great weekend. Yesterday was a sunrise (not great for shooting, maybe I’ll get to them tomorrow) then the boatshow with my parents. We saw ~3 cool boats at the show, the MINI (the ones they do the transat it), the arrowcat (a cool catamaran motorboat) and the pure dinghies…

Black Point II
Went out this morning and shot another sunrise. The weather was crap but I really wanted to shoot so I went anyway. It rained the entire drive down through Narragansett but stopped enough to shoot. It was misting the entire time though so shooting into the wind was out. It was an OK shoot, but…

IKEA!
Not much going on this week/weekend. We’d planned on going to Block Island with my parents but were rained out. So Saturday we went to Ikea and bought a few small things and drooled on a couch we’d love but will have to wait for (never mind that we have no way to get it…

Weekend Sunrise(s)!
Shot 2 sunrises this weekend. I was supposed to have a group sunrise Saturday morning but slept in. I guess my body was telling me I’d had enough. Nikki ended up waking up at 6am and she got me up with enough time to walk down to our beach and get something out of it. …

Eye Infection?!
Well this week wasn’t much fun… Elias managed to get an eye infection. It was officially pre-orbital cellulitis. He gets very bad reactions to mosquitoes and one bit him close to his eye. That lead to an infection which made his lower eyelid swell shut. So he went to the Dr’s once, then the eye…
