So there is a new little tike in my family. Little Robert was born last week to my cousin Louis and his wife Stefanie. I have many cousins and now I have one more, my family can never be too big I guess.

Robert was brought home Sunday, but I could not make it over till yesterday, tuesday, and I took the advantage of having a new born to shoot some film. If you read my blog you'll know I am kinda falling in love with film all over again, but anyway, I borrowed my friend Barry's Pentax 6x7 camera and shot one roll of Kodak VC 400 and one B+W 400tx. 20 shots in all. Every thing you see below is straight from the camera, no photoshop or adjustments.
Shooting the 6x7 format was pretty fun, the view was great from the camera and it was very cool to operate and click the shutter and pull the film winder. I love manual cameras.
Little Robert slept the entire shoot and never woke up, he was all wrapped up and cozy.

I just had a great meeting with some new clients here at my studio and I was showing them some of my film work when it dawned on me to maybe post some of my really old film images that have not seen light for a while. There are some shots from Boston and the Dominican Republic, with Haitians working on a sugar plantation.





I also wanted to show off some portraits of Shekia that I shot last week. She has great eyes and I tried to make them the focus of the images. I hope you enjoy!




The old Rowe quarry in Revere.

Haitians working on a sugar plantation, and other farms in the D.R. These images are old slides from about ten year ago.

Its been over ten years since I picked up my first camera and started making pictures. Time flies and if you don't stop to look around everyone once in a while your going to miss something (yes I know thats from Ferris, lol, Save Ferris!).







Anyways I am putting together a book of my favorite non wedding work from this past decade and I figured I would share some of it here with you. When I look back at some of my early work, I don't always love my composition or lighting, but the shots still have meaning and thats why I love them.
Enjoy!

When I was in nashville I fell in love with this album cover, called Date Book, which was just so awesome I had to have it. As soon as I got back to my studio I designed it and ordered it. I followed this album like a child being born, checking its status weekly and then following its route to my house via fed ex. When it arrived today at my house I was scared that the fed ex truck would not leave it since I was at jury duty! Of all the crazy timing. Luckily the package was taken in by someone home and it was waiting for me when I got home.
It was everything I wanted it to be, flush mount, full spreads and really thick and well built pages. This is an album to past down to the generations.
Check it out!
