Enjoying a day in NY! – PhotoPlus Expo 2008

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Just a fun shot of my wife and I in front of some old metal garage door. We had a great time visiting the PhotoPlusExpo, lots of new photo products that we looked over and several close friends we meet up with. We feel it is always important to keep current and to stay on top of our game, the Expo being just one of several events we attend throughout the year.

Jana and I snapped a few infrared shots after and engagement shoot at Winterthur. Look at the clouds and how dramatic the scene is with the magic of infrared! This is not a photoshop action, nothing was done in post with the exception of some level/contrast adjustments.

On the walls at Starbucks! “Images from out West Collection”

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Well I hung all sixteen prints last week, wow that was tough trying to decide what print went where. I even had to hang a few prints in the bathrooms/hallway because I ran out of space in the main serving area. It was such a great feeling to hear the customers commenting on the artwork! I mingled a bit with the guests and and answered questions that they had about the trip and the photographs. Things are going well after a week, almost all of the complimentary post cards have been taken by interested customers. If you don’t know already I had 50 custom postcards made of each print for Starbuck’s customers to take with them. They are a hit! I needed to order more today. These post cards will be available for free for the duration of the show which runs between Oct 4th -Nov 3rd, After that the entire collection of 16 custom made glossy cards will be available for purchase. The price for the entire collection(16 different cards) will be 25.00. If you would like to view them check them out here

I am so excited to announce that Starbucks® in Kennett Square will be showing my personal “Images from Out West” fine art print Collection!

Just call me and I will treat you to a coffee, and a sweet treat! I really look forward to sharing my western adventure with you and my passion and love for photography. The showing will last for one month, beginning October 3rd ending November 1st. Sixteen custom hand made prints prints will be displayed.
