Josh { 2009 Senior }...

A few to share from a recent Senior Session, downtown Syracuse. An urban style shoot with 2009 senior Josh. And the natural light was just PERFECT!

Okay, so he's a little bit late getting his senior pictures done, but better late than never! Now I need to get to work designing his 411 cards.

I'm currently booking 2010 Senior Sessions. Call now to schedule your shoot. July is filling up fast.

Streets of Syracuse - June 12th, 2009...

I forgot to blog about this! One of my Streets of Syracuse adventures. Found lots of great, friendly faces during this excursion downtown. I love shooting street photography.

My friend Kim (http://www.bigpawphoto.com/) shot along with me and kept me company. I think she really enjoyed the challenge. And of course we stopped by the Syracuse Suds Factory for a nice lunch and to visit with our favorite waiter Dan.

Taste of Syracuse 2009...

My first time attending the Taste of Syracuse. What a treat! So much food, shopping, concerts and just plain fun. A great way to get out and enjoy the day.

Of course I took a lot of pictures too. Went with my friend/fellow photographer Kim again and came back with a lot of great, candid images from this event.

More on my Event site here. I just wouldn't have room to post them all on the BLOG!

On The Streets Again...

I love downtown Syracuse. I really do. It's full of wonderful architecture, fascinating people and great restaurants. One of my favorite places to shoot with clients.

I ventured downtown again on Friday with my friend/fellow photographer Kim (www.bigpawphoto.com) to shoot some street photography. We met so many amazing people and had lunch at the Syracuse Suds Factory. One of our NEW favorite places to eat now!

This was Kims' first time shooting street photography and I think she really enjoyed it.

Photography Is NOT A Crime....

Just who do you think you are? What gives you the right to take my picture? The answer is the First Ammendment! That's right folks. I as a United States citizen have the right to take photographs out in public. Imagine that. And I don't need to explain it to you either or ask permission. It's not illegal. If you don't want to be photographed or video taped then please stay home. That is pretty much the only place you have an "expected right to privacy".

Why am I telling you this? I am tired of being harassed, confronted, threatened and intimidated when I am taking pictures. Photography is my passion and I enjoy it tremendously. This is what I do. This is who I am!

This gentleman thought it was his business on Friday to harass and confront me. We had a nice long discussion and I hope I enlightened him on the subject of photography in public. Somehow I don't think I got through to him though. He stormed off to get his wife and tell her what I was doing because he thought she might have a problem with me too. He never came back. I told him if he thought I was breaking the law by taking photographs downtown he was more than welcome to call the police. He declined but did say "this is how you will get your camera broken", etc.

So if you see this nice gentleman downtown, make sure you take his picture and say hello for me.
