learning to skateboardJune 1st, 2011

Don’t tell Jerry, but this portrait session will be a Father’s Day gift for him of his oldest girl shredding the skate park. He is a long time skater and has been teaching Sammy how to ride. What an awesome father/daughter experience! What a wonderful way to capture this age and moment in time too.

Rochester ranks #50 on a list of the best biking cities in the US. With our plethora of canal and river trails and the newly released Bicycle Master Plan, I hope we head up higher on the list. Weekly, I ride with fellow Photographers to get away from the computer and out into the wild.

Sisters and BeerApril 26th, 2011

The last stop on the vacation train was to visit my younger sister, Smelly. I mean, Meghan. Meghan has a habit (or curse) of living in small, out of the way towns… and therefore I’ve never visited. Until now. Now she can’t yell at me. Now I’ve had beer and coffee in her current small, [...]

rejecting the cell phone lifestyleJanuary 31st, 2011

Recently, I nixed my cell phone service. The data plan stopped working when I was in Denver and it was really nice just checking email once a day! So, if you have my old 281 area code number, please delete it….
