And… just in case you didn’t see yourself in the last video…

Just over 900 images comprise this time-lapse video of the transition area at this year’s Woolsports mini-Mussel sprint triathlon at Seneca Lake State Park. The camera was set to photograph every 20 seconds, continuously, for 5 hours. (Starting well before your 750 meter swim – 16.1 mile bike – 3.2 mile run) Did I catch you in transition?

Countdown to one of my favorite events of the year…

I have to admit I’m a bit of a breaking news junkie… I’m often asked what sort of things I cover for the newspaper, and breaking news – accidents, fire, severe weather – is certainly on the list, along with high school, college and minor league sports; portraits; politics; and general event coverage. We’ve had quite the wet spring this year, which means plenty of rain and flooding shots. But tonight was something a little different. The sky let loose just as we were headed home from dinner with some friends, and then LIT UP with such a spectacular display of lightning I was glued to the window with my camera all the way home. The truth is, I’ve often thought it would be cool to be a storm chaser, and tonight I got a tiny little taste of it!

Spring has sprung, and when it hasn’t been raining lately, Central New York has had some pretty stunning moments that remind me how much I love this time of year.

Just before Christmas, I had the pleasure of photographing a super small wedding at the Belhurst Castle. Super small as in my signature appears on the marriage license! It truly turned out to be a beautiful morning, be it a bit brisk, just after the sun came up over Seneca Lake. You’d never guess it was as chilly as it was with how cozy these two looked along the lakefront. Congratulations, Garrett and Jennifer! And thank you for entrusting me with capturing each moment of your special day.
