After my bridal shoot in the previous entry, I spent the next day wondering up and down the main strip to see what I could find.  I found madness and awesomeness everywhere! 

I must say I love vegas for the sheer amount of lights and color everywhere.  Its just a magical place that is both fun and scary.  I can't wait to go back!  ahah!

Below are the people and places I saw.

Sin City!  What a place to shoot!  I just got home after spending four days in Las Vegas for WPPI.  I also took some time to meet up with a great couple and shoot them in the desert and on the strip.  We shot out in Red Rock Canyon and on the strip.  The dress was provided by Lorain Roy of Danvers, MA. 

It was a great shoot until it started to rain and we had to head back to the hotel.

Check out these shots, they are sweet!

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!

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!

I just got back a number of rolls of film from the lab.  I love getting my film back, its always such a surprise and film looks gloriously un-perfect!  Everything with my digital gear is so sharp and as I said, perfect, that I love the way my film looks from my horizon camera, warped, lens distortion, focus off (its a fixed focus camera) and just plain sweet!

Here a few shots from both an engagement shoot and my trip to Nashville and the flight home.  I had a layover at Washington D.C and so I decided to shoot pictures of airport life.

Behind the hotel I stayed at was a little street of shops and restaurants.  I had some fun exploring it with Jeri.
