Katie Marie

I have had the honor of collaborating with Katie Marie on several occasions... she is and has been a muse for me... not just someone who stands in front of the camera, but someone who listens to a photographer's ideas and implements them.

Thank you, Katie.

Cami where ever you are.

Cami was one of my first nudes... my gypsy muse.  She taught me many things about dealing shooting art nudes. It was an honor to work with her.

Originally shot on film... scanned negative.

Sunrise on the Atlantic

About 5:00 a.m. this morning I looked out the window towards the Atlantic Ocean, and this was what greeted me.  A wonderful start to the day.

The Birds...

Hampton Beach... before the sun.

Katherine at the Waterfall (2011)

Katherine was the last model I photographed before I became ill last year.  She drove all the way to central New Hampshire... I am afraid that I didn't really to her justice that day.  She came to visit me again on Sept. 30, 2011.  She danced for me... she listened to the music of the water.  Thank you, Katherine.

Coffee Roaster as Still Life


One of the perks of being retired is the ability to go to coffee shops and relax with my wife and friends and drink the ambrosia that is coffee.  Recently, I had the opportunity to visit my friend's roasting operation.  


Street Photography

This old girl has seen better days.  I hope that I have treated her with the respect she deserves.

February Doldrums

We have reached that wonderful time of year when Punxsutawney Phil has or hasn't seen his shadow.  Currently, the sky is a bright blue and the temperature is 17º F.  We have had a few days of above 32º F, just a taste... enough to think that there would be a chance for an outdoor shoot where the model wouldn't freeze her assets.  But, alas, winter is still with us... and no models are venturing out.

Nubble Lighthouse (Cape Neddick, York, Maine


Every year since we (my wife and I) cast my parents ashes to the winds on October 31 (the anniversary of my parents first date), we visit this lighthouse so that I can talk to them.  Each year I take a picture, I thought I would share this one with you.

Katie Marie

A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I spent a long weekend at my friend's condo, again.  He was off to a sunnier clime, Hawaii.

I scheduled a photo shoot with Katie Marie, a model from Model Mayhem.

This is one of my favorite images of her.  For other images of her please check out www.thebadgerden.org

(This image created with my Pentax 645, 75mm lens and 400 ASA Kodak film.  Negative scanned, and processed in Photoshop.)

Continuing Effort To Find A Coffee Cup Warmer


In my continuing effort to find a method to keep my coffee warm..........

Hampton Beach, NH

I may not have mentioned it before, I retired from the workforce in June of last year (2009) for a number of reasons, among the reasons... stress... my glucose levels were averaging in the high 200s, my blood pressure, well, it was close enough to my glucose levels so that it was of a "concern".  Since I have retired my health both mental and physical are better.

Here it is mid-week, and my wife and I are down at Hampton Beach staying at a friend's condo while he is in Hawaii.  His condo looks out over the beach.  This morning, after a storm, the sky is a light grey-blue, and the water is a darker grey-blue with white caps.  The beach has received gifts from the storm, birds are out dodging the incoming tide, picking up bits of shell fish that had been dashed against the rocks.

It is very important to keep coffee at the right temperature.  Here is an attempt to find the such a device.

More From Friday Morning

The image is of Heather M.  taken at a group shoot at a studio in Manchester back in 2007.  This variation is one of my favorites.

Something Different - Versions

Taken this past summer on an overcast day... I have been told that I only show black and white (monochrome images really), so, gentle readers and viewers... something different.

Winter Doldrums

The Winter Doldrums have set in... the days, while getting longer, are without much light. A recent rain has destroyed much of the snow in our yard (among other places... not just my yard) and the snow patterns look like Spring... nope it is still 16ºF outside...

I was going through shoots that I have done in the past and I came across an image of Sammie Jo...

White Shirt- Kristen Coventry (Manchester, NH)


Recently, my wife and I went out to Iowa to visit with her mother (her sister and brother-in-law were also there). As a sort of "play nice" gesture, my wife suggested I get a shoot in while we were to be in Manchester the night before leaving for Iowa. I contacted one of my favorite models - Kristen Coventry and asked if she were available...
