ROCKY HILL V FERMI
2. ROCKY HILL V FERMI  (FEB 12 2010)
I met the coach Pete one day at Chucks Steak House in Rocky Hill, CT.  My wife and I were having dinner at the bar and Pete was going over stats next to us.  We began talking and we found out he was the coach of the Girls Basketball team at Rocky Hill High School.  I told him that I used to photograph RHHS girls basketball back when I was the Chief Photographer at the New Britain Herald in the mid-1990's.  Pete told me what I already knew, that the Herald didn't cover Rocky Hill any more and they didn't really get much coverage.  I volunteered to photograph a game and post the images so everyone could download and enjoy them.  Once Pete emailed the schedule I shot the game that fit into my schedule which happened to be Senior Night.  I shot the seniors and parents as the were announced before the game but those images were quite average if that... They are at the bottom of the gallery.  The action shots came out nice though.

I left in many shots that I would typically edit out.  Usually, if I have 3 or 4 from the same sequence I would only leave the strongest shot.  This time, I thought the girls or the parents might want them all as maybe the facial expression in one makes one image preferred over the best action shot... Who knows... Just enjoy.

I tried to shoot everyone and apologize if somebody got left out.

Please leave comments and/or sign the guestbook... I'd love to know if you like or appreciate the images...

Jarhead Time
9. Jarhead Time  (1979 to 1983)
These were taken while I was in the Marines in 1979 and 1983. Most of these are from 1979 and 1980. There will be a additon to this gallery in the near future with many more images from Okinawa and LeJeune... These were taken with my first camera I ever had, a Canon AT-1.

I was just learning photography at the time... I kept every negative for all these years and now that I bought a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000ED I can archive these.

If anyone knows somebody who was around back then, point them to this gallery. I have mega-large files of each of these if you find yourself and want a large print. Just ask! SEMPER FI!

Please feel free to leave comments on any photo!

American Safari 1999
11. American Safari 1999  (Summer 1999)
During the summer of 1999, an English writer, Joe Patch, and I, an American photographer, drove over 15,000 miles along with Louis Baker, Joe’s’ son and an Australian boxer.  Together in a Jeep Wrangler, we traveled the country in search of people and places that would make our trip into what we had hoped, a safari into American culture.  During these three months on the road, we met people from all walks of life and a vast number of cultures. We hope these images and words will express what we found, our diversity as a nation and the kindness and sense of community that was predominate.  Our positive experience offers up the opposite to the negative picture of American society painted by our countries’ news media.

All images were captured using Kodak and Fuji color reversal film.

Our sincere thanks to all who helped us along the way.  Your kindness and hospitality was most appreciated.

A GREAT show by a consummate musician. I have 33 images at 12"x72ppi resolution. If you would like a higher resolution for a print, email me the photo number and I will hook you up with a file suitable for large prints.

These were all shot at the 1600 ISO setting of the Canon 20D with either the 24-70mm/2.8L or the 135mm/2.0L without flash.

Many thanks to Watt, Raul and Pete for the friendly welcome they gave my buddy Dave and me...

The Laphroaig Photo Project
22. The Laphroaig Photo Project  (ONGOING PROJECT)
These are photos of one unopened bottle of Laphroaig 10 Year Old Single Islay Malt Scotch Whisky. The project will be on going and attempt to capture photographs of this particular bottle at historic events, famous places as well as tagging along with me during my daily routine. In addition, I will work to get this bottle photographed with well known, and not so well known, people such as celebrities, politicians, actors, police, firefighters, blue and white collar workers and photo manipulations...

The Project began March 18, 2006 and shall continue for quite some time. There are numerous influences that gave rise to this idea, but one project stands above the rest; "The Red Couch - A Portrait of America". In addition, a Bottle of Laphroaig is much easier to haul around than a couch and if for some reason I get tired of doing this, I can just stop where I am and open the bottle... End of project.

The Laphroaig Photo Project will continually evolve and re-define itself as photographs are taken and people and places influence the direction of the project.


DISCLAIMER: This project is not affiliated in any way whatsoever with the Laphroaig distillery. The individuals and businesses and in these and future images do not in any way infer an endorsement of any product. In addition, these images are not meant to imply any advocacy for or against the consumption of alcohol.

Please Drink Responsibly and if you're planning on not drinking responsibly, don't drive. It's a no brainer...

THIS IMAGE EVENT GALLERY IS A TEMPORARY HOME FOR THE LAPHROAIG PHOTO PROJECT. A DEDICATED DOMAIN IS CURRENTLY IN THE WORKS. THE URL WILL BE POSTED HERE WHEN UP AND RUNNING.

I shot these while I had some excellent access to the Governor during his second re-election campaign.

He is now in the news for major corruption and other scandals. I am very angry at him. He is a liar and a cheat.

I like my photos though...
