So I love to write about my life experiences, my equipment, photography and equipment. Sometimes i'm going to make horrible speellling misteakes and bad punctuation:;? and grammar. But I will write what I know and never try to speak like I'm an expert. I'm just a guy taking pictures and living life the best I can.
Are you that photographer who only uses natural light, shoots on P and won't talk to his bride and groom or interact with them at the wedding. You are paid to be awesome, you spend the day with the bride and groom and you're tasked with giving them an awesome experience.

Read MoreSo part of my wedding package is the engagement shoot. This is time when we get to bond, know each other and have fun. I want to be more of a friend than of a photographer for your wedding day. I want you to be completely relaxed and unguarded and enjoy your wedding day. This is a few pictures of Ian & EB's engagement shoot a few weeks ago.
Read MoreSo if you're thinking about buying a lens or want to check out some cool equipment then head down to LB Wheaton. I stopped in and had no idea that I would be walking out with a super telephoto lens. Being able to hold it in my hands and experience it was enough to put me over the edge. Great experience at LB Wheaton.
Read MoreSo for this engagement shoot I thought we would shoot somewhere completely different, Green Hill Park in Worcester. I've only recently visited this park, seeing it from afar for my entire life. I was surprised to find it clean, spacious and welcoming. There is a small petting zoo, a Vietnam memorial, ponds, woods and picnic tables. We spent some time walking around and getting used to the process of having ones photo taken. Here's the photos. #engagement #wedding #greenhillpark #worcester #unitymike
Read MoreMike, camera, car, Europe, 2 weeks. What could go wrong.
Traveling alone everywhere I can via car in Europe. Exploring and taking photos. I'll be documenting as much as I can via Iphone, Canon 5d and regular uploads to my blog. 12 countries in under 2 weeks sounds pretty damn awesome to me for a vacation.
Read MoreSure, i've hiked Mt. Wachusett hundreds of times but it still doesn't get old. Trails are maintained and updated as well as the new road to the top which was laid this past year.

Read MoreApril 24th, 2014. Fire at Bowdoin Street and building behind house on Williams Street. I happened to be in my car with some equipment and headed over to get some photos. When I arrived and made my way around the area to various angles I could see that the Worcester Fire Department had the fire well under control. Police blocked off the streets and neighbors watched. A few residents from the building were in the area and we're easy to spot. I wish them the best and hope family and friends can help them out like I was helped with my apartment fire a few years ago.

Read MoreWhat an awesome time for a photographer. Have you ever chased a butterfly or a very pretty moth (they exist). Today I didn't have to, they sat there and posed for me. Trying to shoot every single butterfly variant became a bit tedious but worth my time. I couldn't find a perfect lens to use for this adventure because I kept wanting to showcase different angles of this amazing location. I'll be back.
Read MoreGovernment center is closed now (March 22nd, 2014), this is a final trip for me before the reopening in 2 years. Visited this MBTA location a day before it's closing with Michael Stepien, Stacy Bouley, Tom Haran.
