My foray into DSLR photography was preceded by the ownership of a Canon G9, which I purchased a few years ago. I wanted a camera that was portable, familiar, and not as intimidating as an SLR; yet could produce similar images. The Canon G series was a good stepping stone to to SLR photography for two...

Contest ends May 04th. Enter for a chance to win a Grand Prize free portrait session for yourself or family- or a framed fine-art print from my etsy shop.
pring IS after-all, a transitional season between the extreme cold and heat - so the ride is appropriately bumpy as temps gradually even out. In fact, today's shoot nearly didn't happen, it was originally scheduled for yesterday, but due to the calamity of springtime weather we postponed at the last minute.

Just when I thought I'd already found a few of the strangest/quirkiest events occurring around the city, this "party" topped them all off. Where else can you find grown men dressed like Alice of Wonderland, and grown folks acting like they've lost a few screws. Well... NY is definitely the

While listening to a podcast some time ago, I was reminded of what I need to do, or of how I need to think, if I want to go further in focusing my creative vision.
The podcast is called Lenswork, and the title is "Three Phases of the
Michele and I had heavy feet this Saturday, but we saw that the Annual Halloween Dog parade event was being held today - as advertised in Time Out NY magazine. The irresistible cuteness beckoned us to check it out. More her than me, of course.
In the digital photography era it's become commonplace to have our equipment make all or most of the decisions about exposure. The existence of an AUTO dial makes it all too tempting to think your camera knows better than you. This is not always the case, in fact in the real world of photography your camera knows much less than you do. The digital sensor and built-in camera light meter have certain inherent limitations of which a
