Beautiful Adirondack Scenery

I went to check out one of my favorite locations about five miles from my house. Rumor has it, they are going to put large windmills up there and I wanted to see if it was going to spoil the view. The day had been hot, I had taken my wife out to a fancy [...]

Through My Lens – Flower Photography

Spring in the Central New York and Southern Adirondacks region means just one thing to me; TONS of flowers are blooming and it’s time to grab the camera and get some shots! But how can you get those fantastic ‘professional’ images? Do you have to have a ‘pro’ camera in order to get them? Just [...]

Painted Portrait – Ava

We had the family Christmas Party at the beginning of December last year, and I took some casual portraits of family members while everyone was together. A few turned out really well, so I decided to turn a couple of them into painted portraits. This is Ava, and she is my nephew’s daughter. Her mother [...]

Bridal Meeting

Last weekend, Deborah and I met up with Brandon Smith and Melissa Stefanec, who are getting married in Little Falls in September. The idea was just to do a meet and great, get an idea of what their expectations where, and then get the details of the wedding – time, place, etc. When I talked [...]

Painted Portrait – Deborah

Seems like I’ve been trying to finish this one for the LONGEST time! I did the portrait session with Deborah when we were in Elgin. Then, I worked on the image when we got up here, but I didn’t do the painted portion because I had a very particular style in mind for this. Over [...]

Painted Portrait of the Mother-in-Law

Well, my wife wanted to make sure that I did a painted portrait of my mother-in-law JUST like the one I had done of her father-in-law last year. So, we did the portrait session last weekend, and then this week I worked on the painted version of it. Finished yesterday – JUST in time for [...]

Ahhh… the Holidays!

The Holidays are a great time, but very different up here than what Deborah and I were used to in Austin. Down there, it was usually just my son and two grandsons that we could visit. And then, it was shared time with ex’s and other families who wanted their own time with them. So, [...]

Where Did Spring, Summer and Fall Go?

We had our first snow last night and so I went out this morning and took a few quick shots. Not enough snow to really head out, but worth a short walk in the woods. Are we even ready for this yet? Well, I’m still trying to figure out where Spring, Summer and Fall went. [...]

Turn Around, and Autumn has Vanished!

It seems like I just wrote the last post a week ago, and yet it was a month and now Autumn is gone! It really went fast, and now we’re dealing with some mornings in the 20′s… And yet, did I capture any images? Have I been taking ANY pictures? Well, yes – not as [...]

Fall Again Already?

I can’t believe it has been one year now that I’ve been up here, and it is fall again already! Where did spring and summer go? They just blew by and I don’t think I got as many photos as I really wanted to. The LensFlare35 show just took off, and that is almost a [...]
