“Images from Out West” Postcard Collection

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

I would like to share with you my “Images from out West” postcards series that I have created. Each Postcard represents one fine art print that I custom processed and printed. The large fine prints were carefully printed on Moab archival heavyweight matte rag paper using archival pigment based inks. This is a limited edition collection. Only 50 of each print will be made, each hand signed and numbered. Please call me for pricing and mounting options. The print sizes are listed under each postcard. There are 16 images in this “Images from Out West” series. The 16 postcards are available for sale as a series for $25.00. We will be having a showing at the Starbucks in Kennett Square starting today and ending November 2nd. Please stop by and view the gallery! As a matter of fact email me and I will have a coffee and talk about the trip out west.

Hope to see you soon…

Fine Art Print Exhibit at Starbucks® Starting Oct 3rd!

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

I am so excited to announce that Starbucks® in Kennett Square will be showing my personal “Images from Out West” fine art print Collection! It was so stimulating to get back to landscape shooting and the fine art side of photography! Traveling, spending time outdoors and shooting some of the best landscape on the planet! WOW! It was so cool! On this trip to the west this past spring I just had to capture the beautiful Southwest. As a family we traveled through Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah stopping at many amazing and scenic places along the way(including what is left of route 66.)
Just call me and I will treat you to a coffee, and a sweet treat! I really look forward to sharing my western adventure with you and my passion and love for photography. The showing will last for one month, beginning October 3rd ending November 1st. Sixteen custom hand made prints prints will be displayed. All prints will be hand signed, numbered and for sale in limited quantities,(only 50 of each print will be made!) check back soon on our site under “Fine Art” on the home page. I will also be coming back to the blog to share photos from the show opening and some personal favorites from the collection.

Enjoy!

A blast from the past…… Recording Studio Designing and Acoustical Engineering Consultation

Monday, July 7th, 2008

I don’t know if you have any idea that I started playing with photography in the seventies but also was very involved professionally in music and recording. I owned and operated Audio Plus Recording Studio’s in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during with time I was designing and helping several other studios with design and electronic wiring. I was putting my self taught acoustical engineering to good use. Check out this article that was just published in Mix Magazine. Project Studio: S.S.R. Recording A very good friend of mine Bob Fowler(and my best man at my wedding!) was kind enough to mention me in his recent studio article. Thanks Bob and good luck with your studio, you deserve the press that’s for sure!

Some down time with Family

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

It’s not all about work..all the time. The “off” time is so important to me! I don’t want to miss it! Luciana is growing up so quickly WOW! And look my 15 year old son Ryan is 6′3. He will be a High School sophomore this fall. My other daugther Danielle, who is 18 was working that day. She currently attends Syracuse University. Thanks Jana for capturing some family time. I appreciate you helping out.

Here is a shot my son captured at Zion. The actual print is rich in detail and depth! Photoshop work and printing was done by Jeff Reeder. Hard to see the detail(especially the passing jet) @72 dpi. WOW!, I am so proud of him and his new interest in photography! I am so excited that he “see’s” what he is shooting and is looking and composing before
he snaps the shot.
