Sid

Sid Ceaser is a friend and fellow photographer. I made this during a visit at the studio of Martin Haseman.

Amy

I've known Amy at least since high school, and I photographed her wedding a couple years ago (which I apparently never blogged).  She recently became an Independent Stylist for Stella & Dot and needed some new business portraits that showcased both her and the jewelry.  She had 5 or 6 outfits (each with accompanying jewelry) in 3 different lighting setups.  Above is only one of my favorites.

Jessica + Kevin, engaged

Jessica & Kevin are fellow alumni of Saint Anselm College, where they met running cross country, and they were returning to campus for an alumni race the following day. It was most fitting, then, that we return to those trails on campus for some engagement portraits.  The fall weather and light was perfect, and we ended the day with some photographs that will serve as their save-the-date cards (those are a surprise--not posted here).

Our session was relaxed and pleasant, and we discussed life after school, reading the great books, and their upcoming wedding.  I'm excited to share their wedding day with them next summer.

Loretta

 

Loretta & I attended college together but only recently reconnected. I made this portrait at the end of a summer day, after our families had spent the day together. She was eight months at the time; she's since had the baby (a girl), who'll have her first photo session soon.

a night of baseball

I'll spare us all a virtual mea culpa simply by stating that the year has been filled with many changes, not the least being photographic, including new formats and media.  Most notably, nearly of all of my personal work is now created on film.

When my brother and his son visited over the summer, we enjoyed a boys' night out (including our dad) at Holman Stadium to see the Nashua Silver Knights, a summer-league baseball team.  Besides being a great night for baseball, the venue was perfect for my Canon P rangefinder and a roll of TriX.

Erika + Jacob: part I

In May, I went to Houston, Texas to photograph a friend's wedding.  The entire wedding day was held at the University of Saint Thomas.  Now I lived for five years in Houston, and most of it was spent on this campus, but I hadn't photographed there professionally.  The campus was designed by famed architect Philip Johnson and is noted for its strong, simple lines and Chapel of St. Basil (more coming on that).

Here a few photographs made while Erika and Jacob were preparing for their wedding day.

an easy ride

We visited the Hooksett Farmer's Market a few weeks ago, and I made a some photos while visiting vendors and watching the kids.

This photo is a scan from a negative out of a Canon P rangefinder.  The camera is fully manual (focus, exposure, no meter), and I'm overall pleased with the results.  I'll be posting more from this camera soon.
