Eva and the Dog Boys
This past Saturday evening, I found myself heading south to Naples, NY to take in a little bluegrass music with a few good friends. I'd planned to bring the camera along to collect some new images for a musician-related body of work, and had been communicating with Elaine Verstraete, one of the band members, to make the necessary arrangements.
Trout Unlimited Part 4: Bigger Fish to Fry
After several outings for creating photography and several more for videography, our project for the Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited was getting pretty close to wrapping up.
Trout Unlimited Part 3: High and Dirty
May 14, 2011. I met up with Dean Milliman early that morning in our normal spot. I had arrived early this time, and was already in my old Simms waders when he pulled off the road.
Trout Unlimited Part 2: Wet and Windy
April 16, 2011. After having scouted a few productive-looking stretches of Oatka Creek and Spring Creek a couple of weeks prior, it was time to begin work on our project for the Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Trout Unlimited Part 1: Scouting and Burgers
We hit Oatka Creek for the first time in the early morning hours of April 2. I was joined by good friends, Dean Milliman and Matt Smythe for a scouting mission of one of Western New York's most popular trout fisheries, one that is deeply steeped in history and tradition. The three of us were beginning work on an advertising campaign for the Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited.
Black Widow Custom Bows Catalog
Last October and November, in the heart of the New York State deer hunting season, not only did I find myself pursuing whitetails with archery and muzzleloader gear, but also carving time from several of those days to create some fresh product photography for the Black Widow Custom Bows 2011 Product Catalog
Jinelle, Her Saw, and a Good Tree
The heady scent of the Balsam Fir pitch on my hands still hangs in the air, and I'm not going to wash it off. I'm savoring it as long as I can. Just this morning, "Stage Two" of the new personal project was underway at Stokoe Farms, in Scottsville, NY.
Morgan and the Marshmallows
One of the greatest challenges, for me at least, seems to be carving out time in the schedule to create fresh personal work. New portfolio images, bodies of work revolving around a specific idea for a self-promo piece, that sort of thing.
Winter's First Whispers
I could see it coming from half a mile away. It wasn't here just yet, but it would be soon. The air to the northwest was becoming more and more opaque. The wind had picked up and carried with it a deeper chill.
Perfection found at Up The Creek Farm
Two weeks ago, I was contacted by Katy Collar, a designer friend of mine, who was in the early stages of a freelance project for Up The Creek Farm. Katy would be designing a new logo for the farm, as well as a website.
Matt Smythe for Blood Knot Magazine
As I type this post, I am really hit hard by how very quickly summer has passed. Somehow, it has escaped me. These photographs were made in mid-May and early June. In just three short hours, fall will have officially arrived.
Holterholm Farms for Menu Magazine
In early August of 2009, I was sent by the Wegmans Advertising Department to Jefferson, Maryland to photograph for a day at Holterholm Farms, a supplier of milk for Organic Valley. Established in 1889 by the great-great grandfather of Ron Holter, the 207 acre farm has been a producer of organic dairy products since 2005, and is now run by Ron, his wife Kathy, and their two children.
