Just the ramblings and musings from a Photographer and Artist
I’ve been messing around with video hosting services as of late. Self hosting on Zenfolio, Youtube, and Vimeo.
The self hosted solution would be ideal, simple because I’m already paying for the service to host my photos. The problem there however, it that the interface is a bit wonky – I.E. I don’t like it!
[Read more…]This is probably one of the best articles I’ve seen that explains the value of looking at the histogram in your camera.
[Read more…]For the past few days, the sun shine hasn’t been quite as bright as it normally shines. The sky has been covered with a milky haze, and it’s not because of thin cloud cover, it’s because of smoke from the wild fires that are burning on the west coast.
[Read more…]I’m not really sure where everything went wrong, or what changed, but over the past few weeks and months, I’ve slowly come to the conclusion that somewhere along the way – photography stopped being fun, and it became a job.
[Read more…]This past July 14th, I had the great pleasure of photographing a wedding at the Genesee Country Village and Museum in Mumford New York. Even though I’ve lived in this area for most of my life, and I knew about the GCV&M, this was the first time that I had actually ever been there.

But by far the vast majority of the photos I take, and continue to take, have been those of horse show events – 10’s of thousands of photos each year!

You know… The thought crossed my mind today, that I really do love my “job!” I placed the word job in quotes, because unlike any other job I’ve ever had, this one doesn’t feel like a job at all!

Recently I even had the opportunity to shoot a couple of nude sessions. One, a project that I dreamed up of a darkly illuminated, wispy smoke filled room, with a pedestal and a basket of apples, and a nude model with nothing on but a sheer white cloth loosely worn or held at the waist – sort of a live version of a Greek or Roman statue… It turned out really well and it was a lot of fun to shoot!
