Happy New Year!

Sledding

Just thought I'd do a quick post of some pictures of I took today in the snow up in NH. Kate and I took her niece and nephew sledding. Wasn't a ton of snow but just enough to get a few rides in. My postings of my own flicks have been somewhat scarce due to shooting film lately, but here are some digital pictures I took today.

Harbour Island, Bahamas

I just recently came back from an assisting gig in the Bahamas working for Ben Watts. Was a great time with a new group of people I had never worked with before. Everyone was super nice and I made several new friends. I also took advantage of my time there, we usually had about an hour of daylight left at the end of the day and I went out and photographed the locals as well as a few landscapes. I'm super psyched to get the film back. Probably won't be scanned and posted for a month with the holidays and all. It was great to take the snaps I usually make on my travels a bit more seriously and hope I made some keepers.

Thanks so much to Raegan and Ben for giving me my first shot at working with them on such a long gig. Also thanks to Andrew Stinson for hooking me up those guys and vouching for me.

Can't say I agree with it all...

but he definitely brings up some valid points and some interesting critiques on photography, especially in relation to the web and "party" photography. Definitely worth the read.

Adorama "ONES TO WATCH" book

I just received an email that I have been included in the first edition of "Ones to Watch" book put out by Adorama. Happy to be apart of it. Psyched for the free publicity and hope to win one of the fancy prizes which they haven't announced yet. In the email they sent to me they included all the other winners emails. So being the nosey person I can sometimes be, I went through the emails to look for url's to see who else will be included in this book. Not everyone had their url in there email but most did. I have to say it was the usual mix of good, bad, and few I was impressed by. The best work I saw was from Ben Roberts. His work is really, really good. Check it out when you have a moment, you won't be let down.

I'll put up a post when they send out promo emails for the party and book, which will probably be in the next week or so.
