Was playing around with fancy lighting! Had no other subject to shoot at the time but myself, which worked fine for me because i don't complain when I keep tweaking the light for hours :) Did some color work mainly in the raw editor and a good amount of sharpening to get that nice crisp look, but...

Watkins Glen Harbor

I have recently moved to PA, but Watkins Glen will always be home! Its in upstate NY at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. My parents live there and our house is directly across the street from this harbor. We have a truly beautiful view :) I spend a lot of time out on the peer (this was taken from) w...

Steps less traveled By

This house is right behind my parent house. Ever since we were little it has been uninhabited, and we always told stories about how it was haunted. We even snuck into it one time, even though nothing crazy or scary happened if I remember correctly we ended up running out screaming hahaha.

Nose Nibble

As soon as I snapped this shot I thought, "yup I just got that" he only bit his nose for a quick second. I just loved the moment and am so glad I had the opportunity to capture it!

The Warmth

This little buy is just a couple weeks old. I shot it in front of a huge window with a thin sheet hung over it. Did some work in the raw developer to make it extra bright and glowy :)

A Wink and Smile

Gritty Elephant

I made a mini psych out of toilet paper, a cardboard box and a small roll of seamless paper! I found this little guy in the bottom of an old toy chest in the basement, and thought he was picture worthy :)

Night Lights

I took this several years ago, but if I remember correctly this was about a 40 second exposure. The warmer lights on the right side are coming from a salt plant, and the colder blue lights on the left are coming from a Wal-Mart. It was a much wider picture, I just cut off the top and bottom to get t...

Trees of Yellow

Minute and a half exposure! Believe it or not this park was very very dark. The brightest blue light in the middle is a lamp post, that was the closest light to me. Back a bit from that there is a street with street lights, and a couple cars did go by. There is a factory behind me that lit the tree...

Night Bend

A cool building just up the street from my parents house. I think this was roughly a 30 second exposure. In post I kept wanting to do some sort of color swing or sharpening effect, but nothing I did seemed to make it any better. Just goes to show that sometimes a picture stands its ground! I did end...

Sun on Snow

Believe it or not there was roughly three feet of snow on the ground! This was taken near Chatauqua Lake in NY. Just a disclaimer, the black in the corners was not added in post, it happens with the wide angle lens that screws onto the end of my other lenses when you zoom all the way out.

Wide angle lens shot of a beautiful sunset over....well I'm not sure which city this technically is. I took it from a peer on (I believe it was) the west side of NYC, but this shots pretty old so I'm not totally sure.

Lips in Lamp Light

I had my model where extremely red lipstick. Then I desaturated the entire image a lot and because red was the only prominent color I think it really pops now. I'd love to select just the lips and really push it further, but that would be for a photoshop contest :) I also had to use a curses move to...
