Snapshots of San Juan
I was in Puerto Rico for a very short time, but that was all the time I needed to realize that PR is one of the best places i've visited yet. Its quiet, beautiful, and lively all at the same time. Old San Juan is quite the original spot, SO MANY KITES!! There is so much history packed into this tiny little place, but very modern at the same time. Maybe it was the fact that PR is part of the US that I felt so at home, or maybe its that no matter where you are from, PR would feel like home to you too.
My Sisters small wedding
Not all love is created equal, in turn, not all weddings are equal either. This is not to say that some weddings are better than others, but a wedding is special, its custom, its your own little party to celebrate your love however you want to. On this day my sister Joy decided to celebrate in the most romantic way possible... just her, her two daughters, and her fiance at a quaint little hotel in the White Mountains. Its not easy to handle my nieces as they try to get into their dresses and get their hair done, but with the help of her now husband Jeremy, Joy managed to pull it off. The best thing about being the brides brother is the fact the I could shoot in a SuperMan T-shirt! ... I did put a nice shirt on for the ceremony, I do have SOME class after all.
Christine & Mike
Married in October 2014 - Their ceremony was as classy as it gets, and the reception was quite the dance party. Christine was more than happy to perform an entire backstreet boys music video... like... perfectly..
Enjoy!
Blizzard of 15
Snow, everywhere... This probably doesn't need much explanation, but with record snowfall in some areas I had to talk a walk around my neighborhood to capture all of the snow. There is so much snow! Did I mention snow?
What interests me more than just the insane amounts of snow, is the perseverance of the people who have found themselves caught underneath Winters big white blanket. Driveways are cut out, walkways need to be carved from the earth, and this is all done with a few grunts and groans of course, But we all do it, we all get out of the snow eventually, even though every year it comes right back to us. I said snow was fun when I was a kid and I remember people telling me its because I didn't have a car or a house to shovel out... But now that I do.. I still think its quite fun.
Retouching an old photo
A friend of mine asked me if I could retouch a photo for her to give to a family member for christmas, I hadn't tried to do this since photo school about 8 years ago, I was hesitant, but I gave it a go.
Theres nothing like old photography... Problem is, photos to eventually become worn and cracked. Bringing this photos back to life was a time consuming but interesting and fun process. It made a great gift, and this memory has been preserved for a bit longer.
