Good Morning.

Not much to say today.  I am back at work for McGrath which is a very ggod thing.  We had spring training yesterday.  

It has been warming up around here, meaning inthe 30s during the days for my southern friends.  We had a small wet heavy snowfall on Sunday which is when I took this first picture.

I am in Weymouth, MA photographing today.  

Have a great day!

Amazing Day.

So yesterday was an amazing day.  I went cross country skiing with Becca and Emily.  We had such a good time. 

Today I am going out to lunch with Rich Barnes, one of my great great teachers from the Hallmark Institute of photography.  I am so glad to be able to spend time with him and other teachers when I stop by.

I really like this photo.  Leave me a comment if you do as well.  I found this out in a field while we were skiing yesterday.  I really like the effects added in lightroom.  

Have yourself a great day!

Long good day.

So I spent most of the day cleaning at Camp Jewell.  It was good to make some money even if it wasn't taking photos.

The First photo was taken tonight as I was walking back.  I was so tired I did not walk to get a tripod so I placed my camera on Katies car and took this photo.  

I think the white balance came back nice once I changed it.  At least for the front of the photo.

The second photo is of the famous tubing hill at Jewell.  It was a gorgeous day yesterday.

Have a great day!

Back at Jewell

I am back at Jewell.  WE are having a great time playing with the wii fitness.  Dave and Katy are playing.  It is so funny when Dave was playing the ski slalom game.  

I came back yesterday from Texas it was not too bad.  Security made me take out my wii balance board and console.  I was so frustrated but oh well.

It is late.  Gotta get to bed.

Let me know if you like any of my pics and have a great day.

Busy Busy Busy

I apologize for not posting lately.  I will do better in the future.

It has been a great trip home.  As the son comes up I am thankful for my family and the good times I have had while I am  home.

A few highlights from the trip.  The excitement in my moms voice when she walked through the door and I was home.  It was nice to surprise her.

Playing cards with dad and Irene.  We all won at least one game.

Watching Mark and Blake battle it out on the wii fit.  They are so much like each other.  So competitive.

Going to dinner with the family and hearing Elizabeth recite the paper she wrote about the time she came to visit me in Connecticut.

Having lunch with the Shepards.  It was a great time.

It has been such a great trip.  

I am flying back today.  Nina is giving me a ride to the airport.

I continue the 365 quest.  It has now become a part of my every day process.  To go out and look and search for an even better photo than I had before.  To search and try to find that photo.  The perfect one for that day.  To stretch myself.  Every day I want to become more like Christ.  To walk in the light.  

Have a great day!

Good to be home.

I flew home on Tuesday to surprise my mom for her birthday.  It was a good surprise.  

We are having dinner at Luigi's tonight.  Italian food in Texas isn't quite the same as in New England.

I start back to work with McGrath on the twenty third.  I can't wait.  Getting a reliable paycheck again is going to be amazing.

I hope you all have a great day!

Jewell

I took this photo Saturday not much to it.  

Have a great day.

365 More Camp Jewell

I am leaving out soon to take some more photos.  It was really warm yesterday, it got up to a whole 45 degrees. 

The picture to the right was taken on the top of Sunrise at Jewell.  It was so hard climbing sunrise for the second day in a role.  It was so good to get to the top and to get this incredible photo.  I did play with the curves in photoshop.  I am so happy with it.  I hope you like it.

Tonight I am going to play broomball at Jewell.  It is so good to have friends who let me hang with them.  This morning I fixed everyone pancakes.  I must have fixed around 20 or so.  It was a good time.  

If everything goes right I am hoping to take photos of the llamas in the enchanted forrest tonight.  It will be good.  Collin is helping me with the llamas.

Have a great day!

Life is funny.  Tragic, not always ha ha funny.

I am listening to Mosaics latest sermon series \Pause. I really enjoy Erwin McManus.  I can relate to who he is as a person as well as to where he wants others to be in relation to the Trinity.  

The first in this series is clouds layered with the forest looking on.

The second is  simple shot into the woods close to where I live.

The third was taken on Wednesday while driving over to the Jacksons I was looking for a park just up the road from them.  Unfortunately  I got lost.  I was also tired.  Not a good combination with me.  I was frustrated and cursing.  Oh well then I found the place where I took the last shot.  It was so funny.  I often become so frustrated that I can't even see the beauty before me.  I stoped and enjoyed a good look around at the MIT Endicot Center.  It was beautiful, peaceful, just what I needed when I needed it.  I am so thankful for the moments that I have.  

Even now as the sun goes down it reminds me to pause and thank God for what I have, for what I see.  The simply beauty of a sunset.

Have a great day!

Feeling a little under the weather.  Not much, just a little.

I am going to the Jackson's tonight.  It will be so good to see them again.  I am so blessed to have such good friends.  

I just have to give a shout out again to Dave and Katy for the fun time we had on Monday.  It was wonderful.

I forgot to mention the whole superbowl party.  At Camp Jewell every year we have a super bowl party.  We get to go tubing during half time.  Think about it who else goes tubing during half time?  Not many people.  

The school I was scheduled to shoot today.  Backed out due to the delayed opening.  Later today I will try to take advantage of the time and shoot some nice outdoors shots.

The following photo was taken yesterday during the snow storm.  My hands were so cold!  Regardless I got the shot and I hope you like it.

Have a great day!

Yesterday was such a great day.  I went with Katy and Dave to Cornwall It was so great.  We had such an amazing time.  Cornwall is a quant little town in the northwest corner of Connecticut.  It has the only covered bridge in the state.

After leaving Cornwall we went to Kent Falls.  That is where the first picture was taken at.  I had never been there before and it was great.  As the day progressed I believe the photos were better.  Dave and Katy were wonderful models.

After Kent we stoped in Great Barrington, my favorite town in the USA.  We had hot beverages at SOCO Creamery and Katy had a slice of temptation chocolate Cake.  Me and Dave tried a piece but it was too rich for us. 

After leaving great Barrington we meet up with Becca and some of Dave's friends for Korean food in Hadley.  It was so nice.  It has been a few years since I have had Korean and this place was very good.  I really enjoyed the Kimchi. 

I decided to post two pictures from Monday.  I could have posted so many more.  Dave and Katy were great.

The last picture was taken on Sunday morning at Jewell.  

I hope you enjoy all of the photos and have a great day!
