Summer In New England

THPPortrait

As we move like a freight train into summer I am finally catching up enough to actually look and write on my own blog.I’ve been in New England Area since the middle of March. The Coastline is simply beautiful in any weather. The timing was just perfect with enough cold and wet weather to experience winter and the timing to a perfect spring. The icing on the cake is sharing it with Shireen who has graciously accepted my craziness for the time being. Hikes, mountain biking and runs through a gorgeous coastal town make the perfect way of being.I’ve had the pleasure on dinning on lobster more times then I can remember and am enjoying the seafood here at every …

Where do I begin. Many of you have written wondering why I haven’t made any posts.It’s been well over a month, I know. I made a last minute, risk it all adventure.

Not long after I found a home in California the ultimate California roadster appeared. An early 60’s pin tail Alpha Romero. From what I understand there are only a few of these ever made.

It was a great way to start the day and we made it a point …

Texas Yoga

Long road trip to California with a stop in Texas yielded a nice photo shoot with Alex an aspiring Yoga teacher starting her own practice. This is a small area and we put more effort into stacking furniture then actually shooting that day. Using one window gave pretty soft lighting to capture a few poses and head shots. A perfect pit stop. Thanks Alex!

Some of the most interesting people you will find right next door. My neighbors in Sebastian Florida just can’t be beat. Ron, has built quite the little shop in his garage and I am constantly amazed at what he produces. He has built just about every piece of furniture in his house, from tables, desks, chairs to wooden toy rides. His latest fascination is the wood lathe and making bowls.Ron’s ability to network allowed him to hook up with a wood source, yep, it’s a secret too. The pile of stumps looks like firewood to most, but for Ron its all about seeing the art waiting to get out.Below are some examples of his work. And these peices are in …
