Bryan and I headed down to Sakonnet this morning and froze our tails off. It wasn’t too cold, but it was blowing almost 20 and with the humidity it all made it quite brisk. I just wish I hadn’t left the gloves in the car… This is one of the 21 lighthouses in RI, I’m trying to […]

Well, Isabella can now pull herself up using the crib or couch or just about anything else. She’s getting VERY mobile in a hurry. Still no teeth (and she’s exactly 11 months old as I type this). We keep thinking they’re coming, but nothing yet. Elias is quickly approaching his 4th birthday. We’re all […]

Been a busy few days. Since I’m trying to make photography my full time gig now, I’m trying to get more shots of a lot of the landmarks in Rhode Island. It’s been pointed out to me that a lot of my shots are very similar in that they’ve got “water ‘n rocks” w/o much […]

Made it out to Devil’s Hopyard this past weekend for another sunrise. It was supposed to snow 4~6″ the night before and into the morning but we only had a dusting. It was still snowing the entire time we were there. I also recently picked up some waders for shooting in places like this and […]

Sorry, it’s been a while since I’ve had a family update. I’ve been super busy. I’m no longer at C&J and have been working as hard as I can getting NSOP and BJP in order a bit more to hopefully make a go at being a full time photographer. So my mornings have been filled […]

Dave and I tried to make it to Tuckerman’s again this past weekend. The weather was terrible (100+ MPH winds at the summit) and the avalanche conditions were even worse thanks to the rain that came Friday then froze on the surface. We still hiked up a bit (I skinned, he hiked) before officially […]

I got out shooting with Andy and Dave from NSOP last weekend. We hit up Big River during a snow storm. It was a great morning and one that proved to me that I need waders… The path here goes up the opposite side of the river. To cross we had to go all the […]

First week back from vacation… Weather feels more like winter now which is nice. We got quite a bit of snow this weekend which was awesome. We didn’t really need to go anywhere (although I went to Newport for a client meeting) so we could enjoy it w/o sitting in rush hour during it… But […]

We were lucky enough to get to go visit my parents in the Bahamas last week. The entire family flew down which was not as bad as you’d think. Isabella was a doll in Elias’ car seat the entire time, even napping at her normal times. Elias did well also, but keeping a 3y/o entertained […]

This post is a few weeks late. I’ve been super busy lately, then we were away (from computers) for vacation visiting my parents on the boat. So I’m just now getting to posting our last shots from 2011/Xmas. We had a great Christmas with Nikki’s family here in RI. I also managed to get out […]

Been shooting a bit since I got back from the delivery w/o much time to post. Sorry for the mass post, but I felt it was better to wrap up 2011 with ONE good post instead of three lesser posts from 3 different locations all at once… The first few part of this set is […]

While in the Bahamas after the trip south, I was able to shoot both the sunset the day we arrived and the sunrise the next morning (before I left). Leo and Peter were nice enough to come with me, which was crucial as you really need to pay attention to get the dinghy in and […]
