I recently went to Florida to attend and photograph the Navy EOD (Explosives Ordnance Disposal) Graduation ceremony, which my younger brother was a part of. It was a pretty awesome experience to be a part of it. I first thought the uniforms were black but they are, in fact, Navy blue…who would’ve thought? A big congrats to all the guys who are now in Airborne school. Keep it up guys and thanks for your service!!
I can’t remember his title/rank but this man is the head honcho.
In addition to graduating the EOD program, these 6 sailors advanced in rank.
This is the next EOD class who came out to support the graduates.
This is the pin they receive upon graduating. It’s nickname is “The Crab”
As most of you know, I’ve really been focusing on creating my black and white images in-camera. I like to think of it as “pre-processing,” minimizing the amount of work I might have to do on an image after it has been captured. I’ve customized the black and white shooting mode on my camera so that the contrast and sharpness that I prefer are already taken care of, for the most part. Noah was born on a Wednesday and every Wednesday since he was born we take a few photos (of course we take lots in between, too!). I captured this image the other night on our bed. The only thing I did to the image was to sharpen Noah’s eyes a little bit using TRA’s action “select-o-sharp.” It’s my favorite action for selective sharpening. The photo was taken using only the light in the room with a 28mm lens at 1/60 f/1.8 ISO 800. Thanks for looking!
The images below are 2 of the most amazing images I’ve seen so far from the earthquake in Haiti. I saw these on the Boston Globe’s website and couldn’t help but share them. With all the devastation that has occurred these two really reached out to me. New life. Miracles in the midst of despair.

I made a quick video highlighting some of my favorite moments and images from the weddings I shot in 2009. Take about 3 minutes to enjoy the video. Have a great day!
Noah turned 8 months old this past week and we went to the park to take some pictures. The black and white was done in-camera, as it almost always is lately. Enjoy!
The other day I posted about the way I like to shoot black and white images…in-camera. So when my younger brother Brad, a very talented musician, came over the other day I couldn’t help but set up some off-camera flash while he played his guitar and sang. Brad headed back to college in Hawaii the next day so this post is mainly for him to see some of the results, but I thought you (whoever you are) might like it, too!
