A Photo Story: Shape and Form
This is a slightly unconventional Photo Story. It’s part history lesson, part process, and part surprise ending. What initially began as inspiration from an early 1900’s photographer ended up turning into artwork being created with today’s most modern technology. An interesting twist to these final images presented below. After reviewing the video and the process…
Slater Mill
Slater Mill is a historic textile mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The outside grounds are free to walk around. You can also pay to take a tour of the interiors of the mill buildings. There are a few mill buildings, but the one subject you don’t want to miss is the water falls. If going…

Small Flash Portraits
Here’s a sample of various portraits I’ve shot over the years. The one thing all these photos have in common is they were all illuminated using small portable Nikon flash units: SB-900 and SB-700. Most of what I learned about lighting tools and techniques came from reading Joe McNally’s book: The Hot Shoe Diaries. It’s a must read for…
