Clearly, if you’re experiencing a drought just have Joe and myself visit, you’ll get plenty of rain. We met up for the now almost customary lunch at Dinosaur and then set out on a meandering path around downtown. We didn’t really shoot much until we inevitably arrived at Rochester’s current high profile disaster: Midtown. [...] Continue reading Joe and I got rained on again in downtown Rochester 
On Friday the 13th (oooooohh) I finally got to shoot with Liza, someone I’ve been looking forward to working with for quite a while. She brings a great energy and enthusiasm to the shoot along with an excellent sense of humor. No matter what you’re up to with her it’s bound to be a good time! [...] Continue reading Liza in the studio 
Wayyyy back at the end of March Joe, Mike and I went out to shoot some film on our medium format cameras. The format and camera type of choice was the 6×6 TLR. I’ve always loved the square format, I’d even consider it my favorite, so shooting with the TLRs may become a more common occurrence. Having a selection of expired film to choose from I picked some Provia 100F whose expiration date was marked for sometime in 2002. Overall things came out pretty well although the quality of the scans provided by the local lab left a lot to be desired. At least they weren’t covered in dust or fingerprints! [...] Continue reading Everyone should celebrate TLR day 
On Sunday I met with a new (to me) model named Melissa to go over a shoot concept she had contacted me about. One of my long term projects that I’ve been wanting to work on interested her so now that she’s on board the challenge is getting all the many other details sorted out! We decided to meet at the studio on Elton St. [...] Continue reading Melissa and the trampoline experiment 
The building that once housed Sykes Datatronics is no stranger to fires and on February 25, 2011 it was once again set ablaze. Unfortunately I didn’t hear about this until it was a little too late but I decided to head up to the location anyway. [...] Continue reading Aftermath of the Sykes fire 
A bit over a week ago Joe and I went back downtown to spend some time wandering and shooting. We met up over at the studio and went to Dinosaur for lunch before wandering the city. It’s always interesting running in to and talking with city workers about what we’re up to. A couple were walking by us and asked if we were visiting or if we were from the area. Neither of us are natives but we certainly wouldn’t say we’re visitors at this point. They thought our repeated trips to downtown Rochester to see and shoot were interesting, but to us they’re fun and sometimes we see different things. Photography to me isn’t just about shooting, it’s about constantly observing everything around me and going out and looking for opportunities. Some trips are more successful than others. [...] Continue reading Back to downtown with Joe 
Earlier this month I started back in on my old favorite subject: abstracts. The challenge is the same as always and that’s finding the things I am interested in with the right light and having my mind open to seeing what I want to see. Easier said than done, sometimes. [...] Continue reading The shape of things 
Joe and I met up to enjoy some time wandering around downtown on the day before Thanksgiving and hopefully take a few photos. After a nice lunch we set off to see what our fair city had on display. This excursion went the way these usually go with a lot of aimless wandering, conversation and a few photos taken here and there. [...] Continue reading Brokedown Plaza 
Two weeks ago I took part in a group shoot at a studio organized by my friend Joe. Initially we expected to have too many photographers and not enough models but it wound up being the other way around, even though a couple extra photographers showed up. For Joe’s first foray in to hosting group shoots like this it went well and was a lot of fun. I didn’t get to work with all the models that were there but it was good networking and good to hang out with some of the other area photographers I have known for a while. I’m already working on some plans for future shoots with some of the models but I don’t know when those will come to fruition. [...] Continue reading October 10th group shoot at Studio 34 
Walking around with someone who has a black eye, real or not, isn’t the most comforting experience. There are times where it seems like you can tell everyone is looking at you, wondering if you did it. [...] Continue reading Zaftigg’s black eye
