rochester 08.10

I went to Rochester, NY earlier this month to spend the weekend with an old college buddy.  Some of the shots were for his brother who is getting married in October.

Equador

I took a trip to Equador back in February to start a long term project, working with Jose Garcia on a spa/hotel in a remote part of the Andes.  The hotel is to be called The End of the World Spa.  This was the first of several planned trips to document the property, people, food and culture of Achupallas and the surrounding area in the Bolivar region of Equador.  The work will eventually be used to create a book, along with marketing and advertising materials.  A larger portfolio of images can be viewed HERE.

Too long…

Wow, I have not been on here since Dec 12. Way to long. I have shot and done a lot in the last 3+ months. Once things slow down in the a week or two, I have many images to put up on here and my main sites. Please check back soon. Here is a shot from my trip to Ecuador last month.

Jackson Hole

Pamela and I enjoyed a quick (3 day) trip to Jackson Hole for a wedding and hang out with some friends from Pams years in Wyoming.  All I say…majestic.

Venice 1998

This is from a trip to Venice back in 1998 while I was working in NYC.  Back in the day of walking around with a Leica and a bag full of film.

Natural Bridge

This is old…from February 2009, but I really like the shots of the girls. It is from Natural Bridge near Red River Gorge, Kentucky. Isabella and Madeleine both made the mile trek up and down.
