Kickoff
Thursday, January 26th, 2012
This post has been a long time in the works. Not the mere writing of it, really, but the getting-in-place of the “necessaries” that all combine to make the post even possible. For quite a few years, I’ve had several clients (from my previous place of employment) come up to me and ask, “Grant, when [...]
South Fork of The Snake
Sunday, January 15th, 2012
September 7 and 8, 2011 Neither Matt nor I were moving very quickly this morning. It actually felt pretty nice not to have to be geared-up before sunrise, hustling out of the hotel with camera bags and peanut-butter toast. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast, got the room all squared away, loaded the Highlander and checked [...]
The Chamberlin Interview at WBER
Friday, October 28th, 2011
Back in mid-September, I had the wonderful opportunity to join my good buddy, Joe Mayernik, aka “The Mayor of Nikville,” in the broadcast studios at WBER during his live interview with the Vermont-based band, Chamberlin. I was along to photograph during the broadcast, and for me, it was one of these great little “dream-projects” that [...]
Morgan and the Marshmallows
Sunday, February 27th, 2011
One of the greatest challenges, for me at least, seems to be carving out time in the schedule to create fresh personal work. New portfolio images, bodies of work revolving around a specific idea for a self-promo piece, that sort of thing. I’ve been feeling a little “creatively stagnant” lately, wishing for a good project [...]
Winter’s First Whispers
Tuesday, November 9th, 2010
I could see it coming from half a mile away. It wasn’t here just yet, but it would be soon. The air to the northwest was becoming more and more opaque. The wind had picked up and carried with it a deeper chill. There has, for years, been something very special to me about being [...]
Tisa Zito at Braddock Bay
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010
It’s not too often, this time of year, that I’ll take time away from my weekends of bowhunting to work on extra projects that always seem to pop up! Usually, I tend to cringe if someone asks to steal some of my October or November “free-time.” This request, however, had a sense of urgency that [...]
Shooting Clinic at Black Widow Custom Bows
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009
I somewhat reluctantly returned to Rochester on Sunday from a fantastic trip to Nixa, Missouri. I had travelled there to attend the Instinctive Shooting Clinic at Black Widow Custom Bows. The clinic is designed for bowhunters who use traditional archery equipment – recurve bows and longbows. G. Fred Asbell and Ken Beck shared their knowledge [...]
Concepcioun Handmade Journals!
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009
I spent some nice time in the studio over the weekend doing some photography for my girlfriend, Christine Walker, owner of Concepcioun Handmade Gifts. For Concepcioun’s customers, Christine creates some wonderfully handsome writing journals and gorgeous wedding guest books. One of her more playful ideas was for her “Pick-Up Line” series of blank journals shown [...]
Success and Celebration at the 2009 Addy’s!
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
Friday, March 13 was a big night for quite a few people in Rochester! The RAF Addy Awards 2009 event was held downtown at the Clarion Riverside Hotel. From 6:30 pm until 1:00 am, people from all walks of the local advertising community came together once again to celebrate and honor excellence in advertising and [...]
Website Launch!
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008
The completion and launch of my website is a very exciting event for me, and seems the perfect way to punctuate the end of a really fantastic year! I owe a great deal of thanks to Christine Walker, who concepted, designed and developed the site. I don’t know what I would do without her. She’s [...]
