Stephanie & Bradley @ The Coppertree

While at work yesterday I noticed that we had a wedding booked in the Coppertree Restaurant. I called to confirm and found out that the bride's mother was somehow in the flower business. So.....in the car I went and got my camera gear. Hope their photographer got the same pictures I did.


I think they were red M&M's but not 100% sure.


The centerpieces really complimented the room nicely.


The deep rich red really made this arrangement special.

Supercross Wednesday - 1 more time!

Isn't it amazing how time flies. Last weekend I shot a wedding, went to my 25th High School Reunion, played a round of golf and went to a relaxing BBQ. Before I could even post some other photos, I found myself back in Mark's car driving to Royal Mountain again.



Having sold a few images last week right from my computer, I was stoked to try it again. Trying not to repeat the same shots from last week, I took to some other angles to see what I could capture.



I was so excited to come in and show my work. By the end of the night I expected to see a lot more sales but I was wrong. Many people looked and many riders said they were awesome but minimal sales. Hope the online galleries do better or this could be my last!



This one's for my BFF! She loves the Quads...............

Royal Mountain Supercross, Caroga Lake, NY

Another photographer friend, I seem to have a lot these days, asked if I would come and shoot some Supercross with him. Never seeing an event before, I was somewhat interested and said sure. Little did I know it was going to take almost all night and into the wee morning by the time I got back home from shooting.



Selling your images there on-site too was a new experience. Not only being a professional photographer but being a professional salesman was a little trying at times. Many people could not believe their eyes when they saw their print coming out of the printer. The quality was amazing! If only more people ventured inside to view their sons or daughters photos.



I guess I might try this again next Wednesday night. I made some money and for the people who purchased, their excitement in holding an 8x10 was breathtaking!



But my passion is really photographing people and weddings. This sports thing is really just taking up time until the next big weekend shoot.

Lake Placid Horse Show

A friend of mine asked if I could come with him and shoot some photos at a horse show. Since I never shot horses before, I said sure. As you can see, many exciting animals and serious competition....even Bruce Springsteen's daughter was competing.



While shooting, I learned about what made a good shot good and what was bad. Having the horse with their hind legs just off the ground is good and they have to be still going upwards, not downwards. Not as easy as it sounds. You be the judge......
