Today was another good day at Jewell.  I got to do some tubing this morning and while  i was at the ice rinks I took a few pics of the ice.  The picture to the right is one of those. 

The picture below is off Dave.  He is such a good guy he is always letting me take pics.  On Monday he and I, and Katy are planning on going to Cornwall and take some photographs.  I hope we can do a lot of outdoor photographs and maybe make it too one of the frozen falls around.  

Have a great day.

More 365

I continue my quest for 365 days of consecutive shooting.  I am so rejuvinated  to be able to do this. 

The first picture is a little street photography taken looking outside from Fitzwilly's in NoHo(North Hampton).  I haven't done much street photography but I really like this.  I think it kind of catches the essence of the day.  I had a good meal.  I had the chicken pot pie.

The next picture was taken in Greenfield during the latest snow storm.  We got about 7 inches plus ice to tap everything off.

The last picture is my continuation of the personal flag project I have been working on for many years.  Maggie helped me with the crop.  We had dinner at Jake's the other night.  Really good pub food.  She also helped me with my promo piece.  David Turner walked in as we were having dinner.  She did not realize that he teaches there now.  It was really good to catch up with her.

Have a great day!

Lena

I was so excited when Lena said she would let me take pictures of her on Monday.  She was a real trooper.  She is from the Ukraine and is very funny.  Maybe someday I will visit her there.  

I thought about going on a big trip while I have the time before work starts back up.  But lack of money prevents that.  I looked into going back to Prague, but no can do.  Even though it is super cheap this time of year.  

I sat down with Andy from Hallmark this morning.  It was really nice.  It is good to keep up my connections at Hallmark.  I am going to meet up with Peter in just a few minutes.  

It is good and snowy here.  We will probably end up with near 8 inches once everything is said and done.

I pray all is well with you.  Have a great day!

  

So we are living soon for the Saybrook Fish House.  It will be great.  I took some great pictures of Lena this afternoon.  I will post them later.

I pray all is well with you and your family.  These were taken at Camp Jewell over the weekend.  It was great this weekend working with the New Caanan Y Guides.  

Gotta go but catch up with you latter.

Evening in Endor.

So me and Dave P are sitting here and talking about how not everybody knows they need social interaction.  It is so good to be at Jewell surrounded by friends and have great conversations.  I love it.  

We are sitting around the living room and Lena gave us this great fresh melon.  It is so good.  Lena is from the Ukraine and she makes me laugh.  She is very very funny.

I have so many friends from all over the world.  I am currently in the presence of friends from Cronwall, England and Stockholm, Sweden, and Bogata, Columbia and Kaniv, Ukraine.  I am thinking of visiting my friend Monica in Colombia.  I have been told that  tickets are very inexpensive.

Tomorrow I hope to take some lifestyle photos with my friends.  Latter this week I hope to have lunch with Michael Zide.  We are talking about going to the Saybrook Fish House for dinner tomorrow night.  Good place for dinner.

365 slow down

I continue to photograph though I don't always post.  The following was taken on Wensday afternoon.  Gotta get to bed will post more latter.

365 continues

Today I went up to school and heard a couple of great photographers from Connecticut,  Mary and Justin Marantz.  They were amazingly inspirational and enjoyed there talk alot.  I took away a lot of good ideas and there approach to clients was great.  Lots of stuff to take home.  

I had dinner with Dan Bress the other night that was great.  We went to Judy's in Amherst.  I was hoping that Jaime was working but she wasn't.  We had a great talk.

The picture above was taken yesterday around Talcott Mountain.  I went to look at a place in CT.  I still would love to move back.

The picture to the left was taken this afternoon as the soon was seeting in Sunderland, MA beside the Connecticut river.  I love the convenience of the GPS and being able to tag places to come back to photograph latter which is what I did with this location.  

The last photography was taken yesterday around Northampton as I walked around with Eli.  We had lunch together and then he let me hang at his place which was just great!  He even let me dry my socks since they were really wet.

Well let me know what you think of the blog and all the photos.

Have a great day!

365 day 8 and 9

These last two days have been wonderful.  I have been spending time with the Collins.  We played scramble, wii, and uecker.  It is nice seeing Sawyer growing up.  She is so funny.  Me and Marcus went to the Athol open Mike night for a few minutes.

The picture below was taken at a rest stop as the sun was setting yesterday.  I am determined that I will continue on my quest to consecutively shot and post for 365.  I believe to be great at anything you have to practice, practice, practice.  This applies to my photography as well as all parts of my life.  Actions bring about change in our lives.  Inaction leads to no change.

The picture to the right was taken at of the end of Marcus and Claudias driveway.

365 day 7

Today was a very average day.  Good things holding the line.  Staying faithful in some parts of my life.  Such as read my bible, listened to some sermons, worked, and talked to frineds.  Other parts not so faithful.

One thing was I took this photo.  I like the fact that it is an easy location to get to and planes come over all the time.  I saw at least 3 in less than 15 minutes.  I can go back and really scope it out and get some good photos.  

Well gotta go I hope all is ell with you.

365 day 6

Ok so I got up early and took this photo at Jewell.  

Tonight I had dinner with Tim.  That was really nice.

Tomorrow I photograph preschoolers.  That should be nice.  

Sorry so short but it is late and I am tired.

365 Day 5

 So today I was able to snowshoe twice.  It was amazing.  I am getting more exercise and enjoying being at Camp Jewell.  

The following picture was taken at a stream that runs through Colebrook.  Life is good.

365 Day 4

Life is good.  I just finished up taking photos of cross country skiing with Woody, Dave, and Carlos.  I am so blessed to have the friends I do.  

I am reading success is not an accident.  I pray that I am able to run and keep up and slow down.  I feel confused by who I am and who I need to be.  I need to learn to trust God more and sin less.

So todays picture is a simple little photo of Woody with showing off his guns.  Hope you like it.

365 Day 3

So far so good.  Day three and counting.  I need to be more on the ball and get things rolling earlier but I am still chugging along.

This is a picture of Katie.  She works at Camp Jewell for the winter.  We were just having fun and shooting a few picks.  I was glad that alot of my friends at Jewell were able to help me out on this.  

Good night.

365 day 2

So far so good.  After a very long day I forced myself to go out and take some photos.  I am happy with the result.

This photo is at Camp Jewell, a place near and dear to my heart.  My good friend James had this idea of putting up lights along the trail coming up from the tubbing hill.  That is what this picture is.  I hope you like it.

365

So I am trying to get motivated and out of some of the ruts I have created.  

One step is I am trying a 365 photo assignment.  For 365 days I will photograph and then post to my blog.  

This is one step toward being a successful and responsible adult.  

This picture is a simple one taken inside looking out.

Simple

The new Year has begun.  I hope to be more faithful, loving, kind, understanding, and at ease this year.  My time at home over Christmas was great.  I have such wondrul family.   I also have great family up here.  It was great being able to spend time at Camp Jewell with all my friends.  It was espically great spending time again with the Zetye Clan.
