I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with the Hernicks down in Fairfield last weekend. Here are some gorgeous photos we took at Southport beach. Although we shot at 10 AM I used some tricks up my sleeve to expose well enough to capture the beauty of that special spot. I guess I have a new favorite spot to shoot in Fairfield/Southport.
I’m reading this awesome book by my old instructor Chris Orwig called Visual Poetry. I’m giving my students this assignment and decided to do it myself to give them an example of what theirs could look like. If you’ve picked up the book the assignment is called Color Quilt and requires you to go into nature and photograph natural elements up close. The next step is to compile them into an old looking quilt. I had a lot of fun, lets see how my students like it.
More photos of the storm’s aftermath…
A huge storm hit Fairfield on Saturday night. Wind gusts sounded at times like a subway train was headed to our home. The destruction was impressive and sad, but it helped me put into perspective what places that have suffered great tragedies, like New Orleans, Haiti and Chile must have looked at felt like.
From the Fairfield Citizen, “A rain storm packing 60-mile-per-hour winds ripped through town Saturday, bringing down trees, power lines and causing flooding in coastal areas. It left behind a path of damage throughout town and the entire county that crews are still continuing to clean.”
I went to high school with Colleen and haven’t seen her in years. I had so much fun catching up with her, having her meet my Izzy and taking many photographs of her. She’s a gorgeous girl starting to follow a side career in modeling. Thanks Colleen!!
23” of snow fell overnight in East Haddam, CT right before Christmas, it was beautiful!! I can’t remember the last time I saw it snow that heavily for so long… it was a sight to be seen.
Part III of Alexa and Rodrigo’s Wedding
Part II of Alexa and Rodrigo’s Wedding
Finally the photos from Alexa and Rodrigo’s wedding back in September. I grew up with Alexa; we were neighbors in Southport until we were ten. It was a beautiful occasion which I was so happy to be a part of. I was also lucky enough to shoot with Elisabeth Millay and Robin Roemer, hopefully the first of many….
Jack Robie is a brand new company for men’s custom tailored oxford shirts. I did a shoot for them this summer which you can see as one of the first posts on this blog site. However, their name changed from Corson to Jack Robie shortly after our shoot… same company, different name. Check out their site at http://jackrobie.com/ .
I fell in love with the art and craftsmanship of photography back in high school. Carrying my camera around became a zenful act that I never thought to pursue until I attempted a liberal arts college and found myself utterly uninterested in everything I was studying. Here I am today to share my photographs to keep myself constantly inspired and hopefully to inspire others along the way.
