Dance Recital

My youngest was dancing in her first college dance recital. They didn’t allow photographs during the recital but I was taken by how nice the red curtain looked before the show started!

The Light In Your Eyes

I grabbed a quick cell phone photo of my youngest as she was on the way out of the door. Being a dorky photographer I noticed the nice catch lights in her eye and needed a picture. She’s on her way to a tech dance rehearsal.

Driveway Snow Stakes, Ready

I felt ridiculous putting these up today because it was near 70 degrees again outside. But the calendar almost says December, and we already had 8” of snow! Without these stakes in the ground, it makes shoveling/snow blowing quite difficult with a decent snowfall.

Sponge Bob Bowling

I had an opportunity to go bowling with my nephew who’s on 2nd grade. If he keeps up bowling at the rate he is now, I’m sure we’ll see him on the pro tour. His average is 78 and does not use bumpers!

Turkey Day Football

Even though it’s a few days after Thanksgiving, I wanted to share this quick photo I took on my cell phone at the Turkey Day football game the other day. Yes this is High School football played at Lafayette college where 10,000 fans packed the stadium to witness the 105th playing of the two teams. Unfortunately my team (Phillipsburg) took it on the chin and lost to Easton 24-8. Last year’s overtime victory 0-3 still was sweet and helps ease the burden this year.

Christmas Lights Up

A Black Friday tradition since I’ve been on my own and home is to put up the exterior Christmas lights on Black Friday. Sometimes if there is a spectacular weather day before Black Friday I’ll do it then but *not* turn them on until Black Friday evening.

This year the Black Friday weather was outstanding for late fall. High in the low 60’s and plenty of sunshine.

Happy Thanksgiving!

So thankful for food, family and health. To you and your have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!

Christmas Trees Spotted!

On my long drive home from my recent photography conference, I spotted several tractor trailer’s full of Christmas Trees! These were the first ones of the season I’ve seen so far. I’m sure they are getting ready for “black” Friday when many folks put up their trees.

Model Photo Shoot

Follow up from the last photography seminar I attended. The presenter did an impromptu model photo shoot to demonstrate some of his techniques. He wanted to shoot outside but it was raining. So we still went outside but under the car port of the hotel. Here he’s demonstrating the use of two flashes.

Red Elevator Skin

ON my recent photo workshop the hotel I was staying at had very interesting wall decorations on the inside of their elevators. It was an animal skin perhaps dyed. Not sure which one it was but it looks like it has spots!
