...that last one chokes me up. I came around the corner just after the ceremony and there they were. Completely unrehearsed, unposed, un-anything. Ecstatic at the love they had found and the lives they were about to embark upon. Simply breathtaking...

That just about wraps it up for this installment of visual:ramblings. Thanks for stopping by my dear friends. I hope that this finds you all well.

Hello Friends :)

...thought that these might be fun to share...
I recently came across a folder dated with the year 2004...back before I knew anything specific about photography as a business, or even a technical skill. Back before blogs and facebook and 3G. Back when I wasn't so "smart". These images come from instinct, curiosity, exploration and wonderment. I find a sense of comfort in their innocence. I hope that you do too :)















Thank you for stopping by my friends. I hope that you have enjoyed your visit :)

The Jorge Posada Foundation - Gala 2009

Greetings Bloggers & Bloggets :)

This past fall, Kelli Marsh & I had the opportunity to provide photographic coverage for the Annual Jorge Posada Foundation Gala in NYC. What a thrill!!! For those of you who are not sports fans, Jorge Posada is a 15-year veteran catcher for the New York Yankees, 5-time All Star, 5-time World Champion and sure to be hall-of-famer. The star-studded event was held at the Sheraton Towers in Mid-Town NYC and was intended to raise awareness and funding for the Jorge Posada Foundation.

The purpose of The Jorge Posada Foundation is to reach out to families in need whose children are affected by Craniosynostosis and provide them with emotional support through the Foundation’s family support network. Craniosynostosis is a condition in which one or more of the fibrous sutures in an infant skull prematurely fuses. This results in restricted skull and brain growth. Because the brain cannot expand in the direction of the fused suture, it is forced to grow in the direction of the open sutures, often resulting in an abnormal head shape and facial features. It is estimated that craniosynostosis affects 1 in 2,000 live births. Given these figures, public awareness of CS is critical. Hats off to Jorge, his wife Laura and all who attended and donated their time and resources to the cause. From what we could gather, the event was a huge success.

Below is a screen-grab of the front page of The Jorge Posada Foundation Website. Clicking on the image will re-direct you to the slideshow that I put together. It is a great honor to be featured on the front page of their site, but an even greater honor to be associated with the cause. If you or anyone you know has been affected by CS and seek information, guidance or help in any way, please let me know and I will personally put you in touch with the proper channels.

Destination: Puerto Vallarta Wedding

Hello Dear Friends,

Puerto Vallarta was AMAZING! ...but what was even more-so were the people whom I was privileged to share the experience with. A million thanks to Kathy and Rob and their families who welcomed us with open arms and once again left us wondering..."is this what we get to do for a living?!?".

And of course, none of this would have been possible without my dear friend, Mr. Joe Cogliandro of J. Cogliandro Photography. His talents are vast, his passion undeniable and his heart - full of good stuff. I look forward to returning the favor Joe...many times over :)

Here are some images from that amazing week!

Kathy & Rob - Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

So much has happened in the last few months to leave me feeling like the luckiest guy on the planet. I hope to find some holes in my schedule soon to get you all caught up.

In the meantime, I wanted to leave you all with one more image from a recent 3rd Wheel Session. Man, I loves me some 3rd Wheel Sessions!!!
