So i was looking around online today, and I just saw an article on the new Nikon D3. They say that it is supposed to come out in November, and it seems like it would be exactly what I want. Only one problem. IT is a full frame camera. Nowm I am not currently sure [...]

Annapolis

I had the wonderful chance to go down to Annapolis MD this past week to take my sister down to visit her old college roomate Meredith. Her dad has a sailboat, and it was my first time ever on a sailboat. It is so much more work than a regualr motor boat like I am [...]


More from Faith and Jeremy

Tears, laughing, more tears and more laughs. That is how Faith and Jeremy’s day was. Faith was so gorgeous, and Jeremy is a good looking football coach at a local college. It was like a story book wedding. The couple laughed and danced all through the reception and had so much fun all day. Here [...]

I just got finished shooting a beautiful wedding today. The ceremony was in Mars Pa at a small Catholic church, and the reception was at Shakespears in North Sewickly Township. It was such a cool location and the pictures came out beautiful. The Song today is Move Along by the All American Rejects.

My sister is in Ghana working with a NGO over there for six weeks. Today is her birthday and since she cant be here to Celebrate her big 21, I wanted to send a song out to her. We are going to Dave Matthews soon after she gets home, and I am stoked be be [...]


Get excited

I have one of the greatest jobs in the world. As a wedding photographer I get to photograph couples on the most exciting day of their life. As a documentary photographer, I get to take a look at problems that plague our world. In both instances, I get to spend my time doing what I [...]


Vacation

So yesterday i was really excited about the possability of going to Pelee Island for a few days of relaxing on the Beach, reading, devotion time and editing. I decided not to go because I would have had a 4.5 hour drive then I would have had to take a ferry across to the island. [...]

What photographers will go through

Now I know what commercial photographers have to go trough at times to get the shot….lol I love this video because every time Ben Stiller does something, Jack just does his thing, and it looks good. Maybe I should just let couples be thir self and work with what they are doing….but it really just [...]


Great Song for a beautiful summer Day

Both of these were shot at 1600 iso at 2.8 and are directly out of camera from a nikon D2h. There is practically NO noise. So Iast summer Keith Anderson played at Saddle Ridge country bar where I worked for nearly 2 years. It was one of the best shows that I had seen in [...]

Aperture Vs Lightroom

So I’ve been playing with both of these programs for the past two months, and I initially bought Aperture because the demo was 10x’s better than the lightroom demo. This may be because I only have a 1GiG of RAM, but lightroom takes alot longer to render photos than aperture does, and I get the [...]
