Becky, Mike & Barclay

On Mother's Day 2007, I had the pleasure of photographing Becky and Mike's wedding.

Since that time, Becky and Mike are the proud owners of Barclay, a sweet 9-month old dog.

As a surprise birthday gift for Mike, Becky arranged for me to photograph the three of them this past Saturday afternoon.

Here are just a few of my favorite photos.

Italia, the movie!

I am back in America and have only just begun editing my images.
Here is a sampling.
Enjoy!

Take My Breath Away

I could not believe my eyes when I saw this beautiful sight - after lunch in the entry just before this blog - i happened to press the wrong floor to go down to the lobby and I literally lost my breath when facing this beautiful staircase with amazing dim lighting.

more posting hopefully soon!

Italia!!!

Greetings from Italy, where I am spending 10 days with mom (Susy), dad (Alberto) and his family. He is from the teeny town of Lovere, in the province of Bergamo in the northern part of Italy.

My uncle Andrea spent yesterday (Friday) picking us up from all parts of Italy. First, he picked me up from Linate airport, and then we were off to Como to wait for mom and dad's arrival via train from Switzerland, and after a 2hr drive, we finally made it to Lovere, to my aunt Adelinda's home.

Andrea and I had about 3 hours before my parent's arrival, so we walked around the Como lake. If you know anything about Como, perhaps it's that George Clooney has a home around those parts. Unfortunately, there was no celebrity sighting, but nonetheless, our walk around the lake was beautiful!

Here is an image shot from a bench facing lake Como

After 36 hours of no sleep and the large time-zone difference, it was finally time to go to bed (9pm - i could not stay awake any longer!) and around 17 hours later - at 2 this afternoon, I finally woke up feeling refreshed, awake and ready to hang out and take some photos and enjoy.

more photos tomorrow!

ciao!

Self Portrait

When you're the one taking all the photos, you realize there are hardly any photos of you around to for your various profiles and to share with your friends, family and your peers.

.....so, I got a little creative this afternoon and created this non-traditional self portrait.




What do you think?

I would love your comments on this entry!

JPG Mag

Hello!

So a few months ago, I picked up a bunch of photography magazines, including JPG mag, and they have a cool on-line community where photographers are encouraged to submit their work, review their peers work and there's a chance your image may be published in the actual issue (which comes with some cool prizes!)

SO, I submitted a few images, including this one I took in Ecuador, and need your vote!



It won't take but a second! Do it!

Thanks!
