I was on vacation last week and it felt great. I spent the week down in Rhode Island on the Misquamicut shore. The beaches are nice and the waves can get large enough to be scary (well, for an east coast mountain boy like myself.)
Our neighbor at the beach house:
I have a mountain of photographs to sort through, but most of those have taken a back burner to my day job and to a few paid gigs that I still need to finish my post processing on. For family & friends looking for them, you’ll have to wait a few more days!
While I was down there, I had the pleasure of taking some photographs of my cousin, Anna. She’s getting ready for her Bat Mitzvah in January and her parents requested some portraits for a slideshow. We had a great time walking around a beach town taking some great photos:
Just before vacation, I spent a morning with my sister and her fiance, taking some engagement photos. They’re getting married in just about a month! How time flies…
And when I returned home, my sister in law was playing hockey so we went to watch. Of course, I couldn’t leave my camera behind so I took a stab at hockey photography. It’s different than many sports and is a challenge to shoot! Part of the problem is that I don’t know the sport as well as I could so it’s hard to predict where the good shot will be. (That could be compounded by the fact that this is a pickup league and sometimes plays just don’t develop.) I had a great time, however, and it looks like I’ll be at another game on Sunday.
Lastly, I had heard about a contest that Scott Kelby was running so I dug this photo out of my archives and submitted it. The winner gets to shoot an NCAA football game with Scott and Mike Olivella!
