Since I missed the flyover a few weeks back, I wasn’t about to not go down to the waterfront, only two blocks from home, and take photos of the Enterprise floating by on a barge.  I wasn’t the only one to have that idea.  The piers were packed, and the posted schedule was off; the Enterprise showed up about 40 minutes prior to her advertised time.  As such, I got only a few photos, those from a distance.  There’s also some color issues going on here, but that’s something to sort out later if I feel like it.

It’ll be interesting to see how the Intrepid Museum handles this.  I have to say I’m still not happy with them building a structure on the newly refurbished flight deck to house Enterprise, but hopefully it won’t cause too much damage and they can get the pier facilities up and running in a timely manner.

Better late than never:

Here are photos from our wedding this past May in Northern California.

The fireworks were on our side of Manhattan again this year.  A great show as always.

I shot all of these photos (click on image at the left for full gallery) using a tripod, corded shutter release, and a 1/8th second shutter speed.

I just chucked everything up there, so please forgive the lack of editing.

The Hudson River Pageant was this past weekend, and Kristen choreographed and performed in some of the events along the Hudson River Park’s length.  Here are some photos I shot while struggling with ample doses of cold medication.

Photos were shot with my Rebel XTI SLR.  I’m playing around more with manual settings, trying to actually LEARN how to use a camera and get the results I want, and doing less of the “close your eyes and push the button” method that I’ve used so much in the past.

I continue to upload new and old content to my updated website. The old content is and will mostly be for my photography.  I wasn’t happy with how I had things grouped and uploaded on my old site, so I just didn’t put that page back up when I upgraded earlier this year.

The first re-addition is a set of photos from the Chanel Mobile Museum exhibit in Central Park during the fall of 2008. This was a once in a lifetime event, and I’m really glad I got to work on it.  It also turned out to be the last showing of this exhibit: after having built and struck the museum in several foreign countries,  Chanel killed the funding for the project at the end of the New York run as they could no longer rationalize the expense as the world stock markets tumbled.
