Latest Happenings

July is flying by as it always does. All our hay is done which is always a great feeling, especially since we have had thunderstorms every day for the last week. We have had enough rain that there has been some local flooding.

Last week I went to photograph a pair of Morgan geldings for my client Debbie Gunset, I will have some of my favorite photos from this shoot to share soon.

Today I head to the local humane shelter to photograph the dogs and cats. We are working on creating a calendar for a fundraiser and I am looking forward to this project, I think it will be a fun and exciting challenge. I even treated myself to a new lens for this so I am excited to try it out.

We have had family to visit which is always a nice diversion, Ron's sister Lois from Minneapolis and our daughter Shelby from New Orleans..around here it's nine months of winter and three months of guests, but we know how lucky we are to live in this beautiful place and enjoy sharing it when everything is lush and green. We even have a white heron on the pond which is a first, and blueberries are ripening on the hill.

This weekend I will be photographing at the Finger Lakes Fjord Horse Show. I think Fjord horses are one of the most photogenic breed to photograph, I always enjoy photographing them.

Until the next time, enjoy the weather!

This Morning's View

Hello!
This morning we were treated to this view from the upstairs balcony.

No, she didn't have triplets, there were two does with their twins grazing in the pasture and coming to the pond for a drink, I just couldn't get all 6 of them into the frame at once! Surprisingly enough Ollie was so mesmerized he didn't go into his usual hysterical barking as he usually does when he sees any wildlife on the porperty and allowed me to get some great pix.

I miss sending the photo a day and hope you will check in here occasionally for the latest photos and news.

Fall in the Catskills is one of the most beautiful times of year.Here our gelding Moon poses at the edge of the pond. Moon is one of my best models and has been published many times. He is the son of my grey mare Brook who was also a popular model and lived to the age of 32.

This is an old favorite called “Thornapple Winter”
Living in the snowy western Catskills can provide some great photo ops!

Photo-a-Day for July 4, 2008

Photography is all about envisoning your subject in new and interesting ways.
Sometimes using a wide angle lens can create some very appealing yet different images.

This photo was taken with a 24mm lens.
