The Beat Ya Feet Kings closed out the Lowell Folk Festival with a bang by getting everyone up on their feet. Lotta fun. I tool ALOT pics and thought "this could be a cool video"....

Hit the Lowell Folk Festival on Sunday. Always try to get there for some of it, usually shooting a wedding nowadays, so not as easy as it useed to be. Caught some irish reels, jazz piano, and some cool DC funk dance. Gotta love the mix of stuff. Ran into a fellow CDIA alum, Kim, which was cool. Did a bit of photo "competition". Haven't seen your stuff yet Kim...?

I shot heavy on the dance so I'm working on a stop action video with it, hope to put that up shortly......yeah, that's me with the guitar neck thru my head.!

Beautiful wedding last Saturday in Quincy. A trolley made for a great backdrop for Christie and Shawn's bridal party pics. The church wasn't too dark, so I was able to get some "candid action shots" during the service without having to "blast the flash". I love being able to photograph the service without being part of it myself....

Yesterday I was at Vapiano in Boston's Theater District for a cover shoot for Panorama's Magazine's Outside Dining Issue. Very cool place, lounge chairs outside, beer on tap, and the food is cooked to order while you watch....yeah, I got to try some of the "talent", good stuff!

Saturday I was The Riverview in Simsbury Connecticut for Jessica and Steven's wedding. Bit of a drive but a beautiful place (with wonderful air conditioning). All the best as they're off to their island honeymoon...!

Laid very low today, tired from shooting two weddings this weekend and it was hot! Saturday I was at Lake Pearl Luciano's for Domingas's wedding. The reception was in a tent by the beach so there was a nice breeze off the lake which helped alot. The kids were too cute. Love the "tough guys by the limo" shot...

Today we took Evan and a friend to Boston to go to TOMB, pizza, and then a run through the fountain at the Christian Science Center. Had alot of fun which is great since I'll be busy with two weddings this weekend! Caught the cute-little-girl picture off to the side of the fountain...

Last Tuesday I was covering the Douglas Dublar talk at BU's Center for Digital imaging Arts. He's a very successful NYC fashion photographer. The talk was simulcast to the DC campus as well, which was pretty cool. He spoke alot about art, attitude, and printing. He was very much about the "art" which was good to hear. It seems sometimes that photography is all about the web and sharing online, and not about the image in a single, well crafted print...very thought-provoking speaker.

Last night I was at CDIA helping with the filming of an interview with an alum of the web program. The camera used was a Canon 7D DSLR, sooped up with mike and moniter. The quality was great and I can see why that's the way things seem to be going.
I used the Nikon D3 (yeah, I'm a Nikon guy) to get these shots without using flash.
