I have been visiting Poland on a regular basis since June 1999.  Each visit provides me with unique and ever-changing photographic opportunities.  No other place in the world has inspired me as much as Poland.  At the time of this post, the majority of images are from my most recent trip in December 2011-January 2012. However, I will be adding hundreds of photos from all my visits since 1999 so please keep checking back.  Hopefully Poland will inspire you as much as it has inspired me.  You can also see updates of all my photo sets if you “Like”  my Facebook Page.  Enjoy!

Images from my trip to Monhegan Island, ME in August 2009

Here is a collection of photos from my trip to Monhegan Island back in 2009.  Monhegan is a really magical place.  It is 1.5 miles long by 0.75 miles wide and is located 12 miles off the coast of Maine.  As of the 2000 census it had a population of 75.  It order to get there you have to take a small mail boat for about 45 minutes to an hour.  There are no cars allowed on the island and there is a very limited supply of electricity.  There are 17 miles of hiking trails, a few small shops, cafes, and art studios.  That’s my kind of place.  You go there to relax, walk through nature, create art, and unwind. My buddy Frank Cantor turned me onto it.  Frank went there for his honeymoon and has been going back ever since.

All of these photos were taken within 6 hours of our arrival.  As soon as we got off the boat we were greeted by a small white and beige cat who was hanging out on the dock.  We saw people relaxing outside their homes and artists painting the beautiful landscape.  We checked into the inn, grabbed a bottle of wine and sat on the porch as the sun was setting.  I shot all the sunset shots with a glass of wine in my left hand and my camera in my right hand.  That’s my favorite way to shoot It was amazing to sit back, relax, and do nothing except watch the sky turn all sorts of amazing colors and snap a few photos.  It was one of my most memorable vacations and I am looking forward to going back soon.

Check out a new music video I shot for the band InAshton.  It is a no budget video shot with a Canon 5D Mark ii DSLR camera.  It is a good example of what can be accomplished in one shoot day with a lot of hard work and a few favors thrown in.  Kudos to director and old time college buddy Mike Fiore for pulling together a great team and seeing the project through the extensive post-production process.  Most people say you “can’t” color grade 5D footage and it is “impossible” to do vfx work on a 5D.  Negative words like “can’t” and “impossible” are not part of my vocabulary except when used as motivation to complete a very diffcult task.  Mission accomplished.  Congratulations to Mike, In Ashton, and the rest of the crew.
