I have been busy cleaning up my basement to make room for a portrait studio. I have so many boxes that I have been going through. I cannot believe how nice the space is looking.
One thing that I did find was an old picture of my dog Buttons.
My brother Austin took this image over 20 years ago. Buttons, when she was younger use to "chase" away the UPS truck in the neighborhood. She also loved exploring the woods behind my house. I miss the old girl.
I had a lovely Christmas with my family. Carin was so happy with her gifts.

I have been very busy the last two weeks. The Friday after Thanksgiving, I went to my 20th high school reunion. (SIC) I saw a lot of old classmates. It was nice. I am happy to make some old contacts! My family came over for brunch the Sunday after Thanksgiving.
Saturday I went into Boston and took some pictures. Here is a couple of my favorites.
The custom house picture above is something that I took back in July 2006 and wanted to retake the same image. I am happy with the results. (It took me forever to find the exact spot I took the original.)
That afternoon, we went to the local shelter to get my daughter Carin use to the idea of getting a doggie. Carin is scared of dogs b/c when she was little, a small dog jumped up on her and licked her all over her face. (She loved dogs until that point.) Needless to say, we did not purchase a dog, put we purchased a cat. He is black and white.
Carin named him Kevin after one of the signers from the Jonas Brothers. I wanted to name him Scratchy from the Simpson's but no one agreed with me. Kevin is still getting use to the house and us.
I finally got around to posting my images from the workshop that CDIA had for their students who graduated. I cannot believe how much i learned. It is always nice to see a different perspective on things and to avoid falling into a rut. Here are my
I know that it was a lot of images and I am sorry to those people with dial ups.
This morning I woke up early and went you and took some pictures. This was the first time sense my vacation in August that I was able to take "personal" pictures. I had every intention of going to the main cemetery in Peabody but the gates were still locked. So I ended up going to a small cemetery around the corner from my house.
To quote the character Jack Torrance from the movie The Shinning, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Or Homer from the Simpson's in the episode Treehouse of Horror V, " No TV And No Beer Make Homer Go Crazy. (Yes I am a fan of the Simpson's.) Here is a picture from my wedding cake 10 years ago. (10 years on Friday November 14th)
My wife Tiffany has been a great deciding force in my decision in following my passion of photography. I am so happy that she has been a part of my life over the last 10 years. (10 years of marriage and 11 months of dating.) I cannot forget my daughter Carin. Her happy spirit puts a smile on my face.
I now know I need to schedule these little breaks from the ordinary.
I will post images shortly. (I am still edit images from my last wedding.)
I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding for Sharron and Michael yesterday. They had a lovely service in Nashua at the SAINT LOUIS DE GONZAGUE Church and the reception was at the Bedford Village Inn. They were a lovely couple and I wish them the best of luck in the future. (I may have even got another wedding out of it.) I got the gig from A Good Time DJ Company. We are working out a kind of partnership were we share leads back and forth. The DJ George was not afraid to actually get out on the dance floor and get people to start dancing, getting more people to dance. So if you are looking for a DJ, give them a call and use my name.
I will be uploading them to pictage in the next week or two.
