Mt Washington | The Summit | Nov 2010

HPProducts, Travel

This November I was fortunate enough to actually summit Mt. Washington in New Hampshire and the highest peak in Northeastern United States. According to Wikipedia “Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288 ft (1,917 m). It is famous for its dangerously erratic weather, and long held the record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth’s surface, 231 mph (372 km/h) (or 103 m/s), on the afternoon of April 12, 1934.”  “The mountain is located in the Presidential Range of the White Mountains, in Coos County, New Hampshire. It is the third highest state high point in the eastern U.S. and the most prominent peak in the Eastern United States.” I was lucky enough to have some …

Jeannie

Finding an enthusiastic subject who really wants to get some pictures is always a lot of fun.  Jeannie had enough of her mother asking for pictures, so she decided it was time to go get some.  Light was falling fast by the time we met up and we used our towns river walk to steal some pictures, most to the hoots and hollers of local patrons and passer-bys.  As soon as a group would even think about gathering, we were off to the next space.  Later Jeannie mentioned she felt like a movie star.  And, who is to know? I also know her mother and she is one who does not get along with computers very well.  I wanted her …

Luv N Go Christmas

HPFamily Portraits, Travel

It’s been a while, but the trip seems like yesterday.  Back in 2007 I was blessed with the rare opportunity to see the Caribbean from the perspective of family and luxury. A tropical, pirate Christmas in the Virgin Islands. Sailboats, Crystal Clear waters on an island unplugged from the matrix spent with a family I have known for many years, accepting me as one of their own.  I soaked up as much time and memories as I could.  Up at dawn, yoga on the deck, a quick swim in crystal warm waters and then back up to the house for some scrabble with Toni, Wally, Jeannie and Johnny, my incredible hosts, friends and family. Everyday was filled with adventure.  Deep …

Sikorsky Christmas

HPFamily Portraits, Portrait

This Christmas weekend I had the fortunate pleasure of spending some time with my Unkle Jon and friends.   A late afternoon Christmas dinner filled with more food and abundance then we could make a dent in, complete with ham, turkey and homemade eggnog.  A neighborhood affair, all the cool kids from the block came out for the feast.    And the best weather of the week.  The very next day is when the “Winter Storm” hit hard! After losing any real light from sunset and fully getting in the way of another family photog, it was time for some seriously quick strobist lighting put to the test. Jon Sikorsky owns and operates “Diamond Quest“, a security and surveillance integrator and installer.  …
