    The weather finally co-operated so Spencer and I could get over to the Carnegie Abbey site for one final series for his proposal.  He wanted strong shadows on the courtyard so we needed to shoot before noon but also on a day without a lot of clouds.  Being fall in New England it took almost…

    Ralph and I got out shooting again last Thursday.  We shot a beautiful remodel down in Newport.  Atlantic basically redid the entire downstairs (kitchen, living room, dining room and bath) as well as the upstairs bedroom and spare room. We also got around to a kitchen Atlantic remodeled in Middletown:

    I finally decided to get a new theme for the blog.  I’m sure you noticed as there are no more words on the main page of the blog and you have to click the most recent image to get to the actual posts!  If you’re reading this, you’ve obviously figured it out, but PLEASE leave…

    Had another sunrise shoot this morning.  Eric and I went out to Old Furnace State park in Connecticut.  I’d never been and it was another nice hidden location.  There was a lot of dead wood in the water and the leaves are already well past their prime but it was still a very fun morning. …

    finally got the 24-70 for the D700.  It’s a lens I love to hate honestly…  I’m not really a fan of mid range zooms.  I’ve owned both the sigma and canon versions of this lens before and never really loved using it but ALWAYS got great results.  I had the 24-105 with the 5Dii for…

    Well, because I switched teams to Nikon, I figured I owed it to myself to try the best UWA made these days.  The 14-24mm is an amazing lens.  It’s a very hefty piece of glass.  The FE is pretty cool looking but a PITA to clean.  But what this lens has is amazing build, it’s…

    Got out shooting with Ralph again this weekend.  He had a 6 location lined up for me so this post will be a bit short on words and a bit long on pictures (probably better that way anyway).  Here goes: First up was a new deck patio and shed: then a large addition (the garage/right…

    Well it’s been a busy week for being at home for a while.  We’ve been traveling quite a bit lately with NY, Grandma’s and the wedding in CT so it was nice to be home for a weekend.  I actually got to fix the bathroom sink even!  Yesterday we had to take Elias to the…

    Andy and I made it out for another sunrise in the woods this morning.  It’s been 2 weeks as I took last weekend off for Sara and Jim’s wedding in CT.  We met at stepping stone in Arcadia Park in RI.  It’s a great spot for both of us as it’s basically halfway between our…

    Went back to the Carnegie Abbey site with Spencer again Wednesday morning.  This time we met at 6:30am in time for the sunrise.  There was a ton of cloud cover but the sun poked through just enough to help gets some of the shots we needed.  I think we have one more visit to nail…

    Well it’s been another weekend away.  This time it was a wedding in Fairfield CT.  We left Elias with Gigi and Pop Pop and Moseley with Ganny and Bumpa.  Nikki and I blasted down to CT with just enough time to get ready (got there at 3:30, into our room by 3:45 with a 4:15…

    Got a chance to get out shooting with Ralph plumb again.  He had me shoot his office as well as the interior in this post.  His office isn’t quite as much fun (sorry Ralph!) as some of the other awesome work they’ve done, but he wants the images for his new upcoming website.

    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…

    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…
