Contrary {Music}

Here are a few images from a shoot I did last week with up and coming rapper Contrary.  Check out his stuff on myspace and look for his soon to be released album.

It was a really fun shoot and the guys were up for anything I threw at them.  Looking forward to possibly another shoot with these guys this coming summer.

  

Ton-Up! {Personal}

This is my motorcycle.  I love my motorcycle.

I'm posting this because:
a.) it's nice out, so I got to ride.
b.) who doesn't like looking at cool motorcycles?
c.) even though this is my "work" blog, no one reads it anyway.

Also, I have a cousin and uncle in Ireland who are big into motorcycles, and I thought I'd give them a glimpse of the beast.  (Hi Keith + Dave!)

It's a 2004 Triumph Thruxton that I bought used a few years ago with 4000 miles on it.  I love the "cafe racer" aesthetic of this bike.  It's like it was transported directly from a bygone era, an era that was rad.

I just painted my exhaust black, and the headlight bucket and wheels are next up on the agenda.  I also plan on installing some fork gaiters and black header wrap.  It's really tough for me to find the time to work on the bike, only because I'd much rather be riding it.  

Senior Portrait Ads {Marketing}

I put these senior ads together recently for my senior portrait work.  I plan on doing the same for my wedding work soon.  

Hike {Personal}

The weather has been fantastic this weekend.  I got my first motorcycle ride in yesterday, and today Sarah and I went for a nice hike near our house.  Here are a few from today.

The weather outside right now is, well, frightful.  So I thought I'd post a few images from a warmer, gentler time.  a.k.a. last summer.

Here's to summer.

This little guy was the perfect subject.  No crying, no fussing, just being cool.  Thanks little dude.  Here are a few of my favorites.

Haiti

The earthquake in Haiti has really mobilized people around the world to help.  A friend of ours is putting together a fundraiser concert on February 14th to raise money to be donated to the relief efforts.  I was happy to volunteer my services to try and help out.  I'll be at the event all day taking portraits and band promo pics.  For a small donation you can get a nice portrait or your band can get some press shots to use to market yourselves.  I'm really looking forward to this event and hope anyone who is in the area can attend. 
(I'll put up the details when I have them)

*Update: Like I said, the date is Feb. 14th.  I believe it's running 2-10pm and it will be held in Milford, MA.  More details when I have them.  Thanks.

Jayde {Portrait}

On a walk with Jayde this past fall.

Liza+Lance

It's really nice to be able to attend a wedding as a guest once and a while.  Usually I'm running around non-stop for most of the day as the photographer, so it's big change when you go as a guest who just gets to have fun with friends.  A few weeks ago my wife Sarah and I attended a friends wedding just outside of Philadelphia. It was a beautiful ceremony and reception and was a blast. Here are a few photos.

Nicole+Frank {Engagement}

Nicole and Frank braved the cold for their engagement shoot and it turned out great.  We started at Union Station and then wandered around a few other spots in the Worcester area.  I'm looking forward to the wedding next June!
