Jennifer & Lauren { Thompson Park }...

A wonderful Mothers Day Portrait Special with Jennifer and her daughter Lauren in Oswego, NY. We started out at Breitbeck Park and then I followed Jennifer to a fabulous, somewhat hidden location. Rudy's on Lake Ontario in Oswego. Apparently this place is famous and I never knew it existed. I would have never found it without Jennifer, actually not sure if I could find my way back alone again. I'm a pretty bad driver!

I'll be going back to Rudy's very soon with a model or two. I love the big, flat rocks and have to try out the food next time I am there. And my youngest, Emma loves to paint rocks. We usually bring a few back every time I am in Oswego from near the lighthouse.

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.

Brewster Inn...

Had a fun group outing with the Syracuse Photographers Association meetup group last night in Cazenovia. There were around 20 of us wandering around the village of Cazenovia with our cameras. I think they thought they were being invaded. A few people approached us and asked what was going on.

After walking around shooting, we all met up at the Brewster Inn for drinks, dinner and socializing. What a beautiful place right on Cazenovia Lake. It was nice to meet some of the members in person for the first time.

If you have a passion for photography and want to meet others that share your passion, please join our group. Membership is free and the experience and great company is PRICELESS.

Oz-Stravaganza 2009...

Follow the yellow brick road....to the Oz Stravaganza in Chittenango, NY. A wonderful experience for the young and old.

This was my first time at the Oz Stravaganza. I've been trying to go for years but always had to work or missed the days. I'm so glad I went. The costumes were fun and the whole community really got into the spirit. And the munchkins are still so darn cute.

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!
