The cold.

/

It's cold and I want to take photos still.

 

Typically most of my shoots are done outside, in the elements; rain, shine or calamity.  Now that fall is passing and winter on the edge I have to consider where I will shoot. I have lots of new toys, lights and lens galore. Studio work is easy but costs none the less. 

I do plan on finding some space this winter but I also plan on personal projects a lot for the coming cold months. One thing that I don't mention or bring up as often as I like is that I do photography for myself first, second the client. When I shoot a wedding it's images that I think are beautiful and secondly my client will think are beautiful. I trust that part of the reason they hire me is because of my portfolio and my vision. I do wedding photography for the love of it and also the money that affords me to buy lens and gear to further my art.

This winter I want to be very creative even if it's in the cold, I will not go on hiatus nor hibernate through what should be an admirable winter season. You have been put on notice by my declaration today which at least ten people or may read.

The unseen unheard photographer

The unseen unheard photographer

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.

So 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.

So 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.

So 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

Europe, me, camera, car

Mike, 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.

Wachusett Mountain never gets old.

Sure, 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. The summit touts a new updated tower and base station as well as more spring cleaning i'm sure to come. Here's some of my photos from my past trip with Tommy G. Haran
