Its been over ten years since I picked up my first camera and started making pictures. Time flies and if you don't stop to look around everyone once in a while your going to miss something (yes I know thats from Ferris, lol, Save Ferris!).
Anyways I am putting together a book of my favorite non wedding work from this past decade and I figured I would share some of it here with you. When I look back at some of my early work, I don't always love my composition or lighting, but the shots still have meaning and thats why I love them.
Enjoy!

I have always wanted to shoot an anti-bride, which to me is anything totally non-traditional. Sarah here is not a real bride and this was a shoot just to explore some of the fun and style that could be found with a more goth and punk look.
Any chance for me to make something new or look different and be able to explore new ideas is always a chance I want to take.
I wanted to see if I could be a little bit more edgy and see where that could lead me. The dress was from a runway show that Lorraine Roy loaded to me and they also donated the model Sarah to me for the day. Hair and makeup were done by Twisted Elegance artist Alisha Dube.
The jewelry the bride is wearing is from Chrome Hearts in Las Vegas, some awesome stuff.
We shot in East Boston at Orient Heights next to the giant cross that overlooks Boston. In my mind I had this cross glowing as I always see it when I drive by. Alas, it never lighted up while I was there and we even waited, but light was fading fast so we had to start shooting. It was a bout 29 degrees out, but no wind or moisture in the air so it was very workable. The entire shoot took about 15 minuets and then we were back in my warm truck heading back to the studio.
I hope you like these images. I had a blast shooting them and even though we froze our hinds off I think it was totally worth it.

Many people today have never shot film and have only experienced shooting digital. I shot film for years, learned photography on film and started my career with film, so its only fair I share film with the world.
I went skiing last week in New Hampshire with my cousin Vinny and I brought my camera up on one of the runs we made. It was super cold out and snowy. Powder covered the mountain and the skiing was glorious. It was some of the best skiing I have expierenced in a long time, It was also my first time back on the slope in about 2 years.
The first few runs I was a little rusty on, but my the end of the day I hit the terrain park and some jumps. I can't wait to get back on the slopes.
Below here is one of the joys I really miss with film, contact sheets!

I took out and ad in the Sheraton Commander's brochure magazine, for the awesome Cambridge hotel, and the magazine decided to feature some of my wedding shots in the issue.
The images are from Rachel and Eric's wedding from last spring and they are some great shots. I have submitted work to a number of magazines recently and hope to be published a lot this spring. Wish me luck!
Thanks Sheraton!
P.S. This is a great place for a wedding!
Below are my shots of the shrimp, mmmm, and the bride and groom walking down the isle.
Here I have the two shots above the floor plan.

Every year I spend a week at the Imaging USA convention which coincides with the DWF seminars. Last year the convention was in Arizona and this year it was in Nashville, TN. It was a great learning experience and I always find out something I did not know before, but most of all I get to hang out with all my wedding photographer friends from around the world. If you think you party hard, you have never seen wedding photographers going bar hopping, lol. It was a super great time and I cherish every moment of it.
Aside from the trade show and seminars I checked out the city itself and found all sorts of southern music and cowboys. I am posting my digital shots here as I have a ton of film to get developed from my horizon camera still.
I also found some sic new albums too!
A Vintage store I checked out. It was run by this old lady, and she was jamming to some really horrible 80's music. I am a huge 80's music fan, but the stuff she was playing could kill you. haha.
A Kraus.
Broadway lights.
In the dark we photographers are all abound!
The lovely Crystal.
Fun with Jack, Crystal and Jeri! We had a blast!
Country music on Nashville's broadway. A very fun area.
Lights!
Some new album covers for the wicked cool book series! Wow!
This is a great new matted parents album I fell in love with.
First time I have ever seen a White Castle, lol. Taken from the bus I was on.
