Michelle and Healy

This past weekend, I got the chance to work with fellow photographer, Stacie Lech, on a wedding in Philadelphia. This wedding was not the typical wedding around here, although everyone had a lot of fun.

We started out at the small hotel, Alexander Inn. From there the list grew...
Independence Hall, The Rodin Museum, Eastern State Penitentiary, The Water Works, Penn campus, and finally the Philadelphia Zoo. (Yes the Zoo!) The ceremony was held at the Tree house and the reception followed at the Primate house.

With the ample time before hand and very little pressure, we both took some stunning images.

Here are a few of mine...



Take a look at Stacie's blog to see hers.

Steph and Lee

This past friday, I got the chance to meet up with a couple whose wedding I'll be shooting in less than a month! Because of the wacky weather that we had been having, things had been pushed back quite awhile.

To give them something different, we decided to head to center city. We started out at Love Park, then miandered over towards City Hall and eventually the Art Museum.
Even though it was a bit chilly, we all made the best of it.

Thanks you two, I had a lot of fun

Team Mantic Practice

So early last week I was asked by a local paintball team to cover some of there practice. Since I used to play (alot!) I was even more inclined to take the invite.

Everyone had lots of fun, and it is looking like I will be covering some of their tournaments when the weather starts to get nicer.




Thanks Guys...and nice playing!

2007 Philadelphia Flower Show Finale

Well like I mentioned earlier this week, I had been at the flower show most of last week. Most of you know already that my current full time job (Ritz Camera) takes me down to run our company booth.
Well a few mornings before the show opened, I got there extra early to go around shooting with out anyone in the shot.
During the very first open day of the show, as I was outside getting lunch, there was a Chinese parade coming down the street. It was really cool to see the very vibrant costumes.
So take a look at these.

The Iphone!!

So Apple just released the Iphone the other day. and after reading reviews...VERY COOL!

Each year I buy a new phone. I like to have the newer technology, but also just something different. Now I am not a mac person, but this is a really cool device. A full MP3 player and phone in one.

I think one of the coolest features will be the "visual voice mail"

I still have yet to buy a Mp3 player, so this might be it. But at $500 for the 4gb or $600 for the 8gb, its alittle pricey. I do use cingular, and have for about 8 years, and really don't have any service nightmares that others have had. So switching carriers wouldn't be the reason not to get this phone. What do you think??
