Trout Unlimited Part 4: Bigger Fish to Fry
Sunday, July 17th, 2011
After several outings for creating photography and several more for videography, our project for the Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited was getting pretty close to wrapping up. We had a great body of images to pull from for the poster series and for the downloadable wallpaper set. Now, being guys that love to fish, [...]
Trout Unlimited Part 3: High and Dirty
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
May 14, 2011. I met up with Dean Milliman early that morning in our normal spot. I had arrived early this time, and was already in my old Simms waders when he pulled off the road. Matt Smythe had commitments for the morning, but was planning to join up with us later in the day. [...]
Trout Unlimited Part 2: Wet and Windy
Wednesday, June 15th, 2011
April 16, 2011. After having scouted a few productive-looking stretches of Oatka Creek and Spring Creek a couple of weeks prior, it was time to begin work on our project for the Seth Green Chapter of Trout Unlimited. For me, that meant gearing up in neoprene chest waders and immersing myself in the icy, rushing [...]
Trout Unlimited Part 1: Scouting and Burgers
Thursday, June 2nd, 2011
We hit Oatka Creek for the first time in the early morning hours of April 2. I was joined by good friends, Dean Milliman and Matt Smythe for a scouting mission of one of Western New York’s most popular trout fisheries, one that is deeply steeped in history and tradition. The three of us were [...]
Black Widow Custom Bows Catalog
Sunday, April 3rd, 2011
Last October and November, in the heart of the New York State deer hunting season, not only did I find myself pursuing whitetails with archery and muzzleloader gear, but also carving time from several of those days to create some fresh product photography for the Black Widow Custom Bows 2011 Product Catalog. Based in Nixa, [...]
Jinelle, Her Saw, and a Good Tree
Sunday, March 13th, 2011
The heady scent of the Balsam Fir pitch on my hands still hangs in the air, and I’m not going to wash it off. I’m savoring it as long as I can. Just this morning, “Stage Two” of the new personal project was underway at Stokoe Farms, in Scottsville, NY. I had connected with Jinelle [...]
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 [...]
Enticing Foods from The Pub at Wegmans
Friday, February 25th, 2011
As I type this post, I’m sitting next to a good fire, while just a few feet away from me, outside the window, sits a foot of fresh-fallen, windblown snow. Today was one of the wintriest days we’ve had this season! I was so glad to get out of the city and into the woods [...]
Harris RF Communications turns 50!
Friday, November 5th, 2010
Last summer, both John Myers and I worked on a really fantastic environmental portrait project for one of our favorite clients! The job we were hired to photograph for Harris Corporation’s RF Division would be one of several projects from the past year that allowed our studio to exhibit it’s ability to handle large-scale, or [...]
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 [...]
