Obviously not every image I take gets shared with you.  Maybe I should share more images?  Today I  spent some time going through images from a wedding last year and converting them to black and white.  I sometimes like to take colorful images and make them b/w to see the results .  I find that you get less distracted by the colors and focus more on the story or textures.  It is amazing the way we develop an image can change its feeling.  Most of the time I like to create a clear colorful images or a black and white.  I think this differentiates me from photographers who will batch process their images with “actions.”  Programs that spice up the images.  I feel that these have their place, but will never run these actions on a photo willy nilly.  They must be deserving of it.  Every image deserves to be developed properly.  Some of them deserve extra processing., but never should they be edited without a thought of what the images are trying to capture.

The photographs become a means to remember the stories that make up our lives and that is why I love them and photography.  It is always about the moments… stories.. art.

In the photography business we have a term for the photographers out there that happen to get in the way while trying to capture their angles.  We call them “uncle bob.”  I was on my best behavior not to be that guy.   All of my ceremony pictures are from my seat and I did my best to never get in the way of the hired guns.  Never the less I created some images that I wanted to share.

The Colonial Hotel was beautiful.  I loved the wooden pergola where the ceremony took place and how I could see the foliage behind there leaf topped wedding cake.  It is a large venue and even had a wedding taking place inside while we were out under the linen draped tent.    Congrats John and Deyna! Many thanks for having me as your guest.

Boudoir photography has become an extremely popular gift to give your loved one or yourself.  I am pleased to offer this intimate style of photography to my clients, but I felt that it deserved it’s own space.  I hope you will enjoy the new addition.  As always, please email me with any questions.

A lot of people no longer experience the joy of being able to hold their memories in their hands.  We look at our stories on a computer screen.  The problem is that a photo will rarely look the same from computer to computer.  We don’t get to use our senses to their fullest. There is no tactile response or even smell.  When we experience our moments as  an album the color and image stays true and we appreciate them on a greater level.  We have the joy of being able to pass our stories around a room or look gazingly at the binding as we pass by.   This is where the magic of photography happens.

I am proud to present KISS albums.  They are photographically printed and of the greatest quality. This is HUGE! The spreads lay flat and the pages wont discolor.  They can be ordered in sizes from 4×4 to 12×12 in leather or linen.   The luxurious leather, supple and soft to the touch,  is revealed from it’s sexy cloth dust cover showing a hard substrate between the pages making the albums substantially heavier.  They make a great album for any occasion.

Thanks for having me capture your stories… moments… art…
