Nameless Pineapple cocktail, and Spiderman.

We had a party, featuring Michael Healy's unforgettable pineapple cocktail that shall remain nameless for good reason. 

Spiderman came.

Wonder Twin powers, activate.

What would Mike like to drink next?

The fantastic Kate Healy came out to join us! Yay!

The Milky Way, my yard, 3am

I am fortunate enough to live in a place where light pollution has not completely obscured the wonders of the night sky. Upon returning from a shoot at 3am last weekend, I sat quiet in my yard surrounded by a pair of cameras shooting long exposures. I feel bad for city kids who have never seen anything like this. 

I apologize for not being present here; my little computer is dead and off to the Mac people. I'm madly blogging in advance now, but an running out of battery. Lots of cool pictures to come though!

Passing the Crown

I have been informed that my Mac, full of music and thousands of pictures, is one stiff breeze away from crashing . That explains the freeze-ups, and why I haven't been blogging recently; the lovely guys at Small Dog Electronics have been trying to figure out what is making the poor thing so upset. This isn't good timing to not have a computer, since I have two cameras full of pictures that need to be uploaded before I shoot a wedding on Saturday! Eek!

On a lighter note with significantly less whining, I just found out that I will be shooting the effervecient and fantastic Caroline Bright in the Firehouse Gallery space. Why, you may ask? Because my lovely coworker was just crowned Miss Vermont! Very exciting stuff! I'm planning so really fun, nonpageant-oriented shoots with Miss Bright that highlight her role at the Firehouse and show what a beautiful person she is. And she is. We went out for drinks (she got a cranberry juice) after work and we discovered that I am very good friends with her elementary school boyfriend. Conversation was snappy and entertaining with that as a launching point, let me tell you! I'm looking forward to shooting her in a pseudo-fashion style, also featuring some of the other beautiful ladies I work with at the Firehouse. Excited! I won't be able to blog about it for a while, since the Firehouse will be using the photos, but eventually they'll be out here so keep an eye out!

Trendy Little Portfolio Film

So as I may have mentioned, i have been working on expanding my online presence to better represent the growth of my photography. I have a new website in development, along with some other cool things. I am now apprenticing with the talented Jeff Schneiderman on a wide variety of projects. I'm so grateful for the learning opportunity, very cool stuff.

So here is a little movie of my working portfolio. The quality leaves a lot to be desired, but there are a lot of things in there that I really love, especially from my travels. From the south of Spain to Turkey to Seattle, my photojournalistic approach to travel photography has led me to wild and wacky places. The video features my favorite song of the moment, a rad remix of The xx's song VCR. Enjoy!

Arnold Palmer, The Man Himself

My brother drinks five of these a day. Working at a marina has alarming perks.

The Car Overheated Climbing the Mountains for the Fourth Time

So this is the impossibly adorable and persuasive child of the farm family whose house and property Mike and I overtook on one of our weekend road trips. This trip was through the Green Mountains, where I had YET ANOTHER run-in with a horse and subsequent allergic reaction. Anyway, we had fun, and got the old farmer to drive us back up in the woods to see his old Chevy, pictured below.

Little Green Project

I know what I'll be doing as soon as I'm done editing my portfolio!

Just another day at the office

Reason #1 to not make a llama wait for its dinner

So I've been working on a huge project to revamp my digital workflow, so I apologize for the delay in new pictures. Plus I've been out taking pictures here and there. 

Some of those involved llamas. Here's one.

Yes, it's spitting on my father.
