Macro photography

Great photos are everywhere. You just need to learn to see them and then learn how to render them in photographs. I shot this bumble bee in our garden today. I loved the flowing lines of the cosmos leading right to the bee for a great composition. Close up images of bugs or flowers are always an interesting topic. Click on image to enlarge.

huh... Who knew?

Here is a two headed calf. I found this artifact at the Sanborn Farm Museum. The Farm Museum is on rte 31 in Sanborn, NY and has many artifacts from the farming industry housed in a barn that dates back to 1888. Admission in free but you need an appointment.

Nathan

We stopped by to check on my grandson Nathan and I snapped a few pictures of the happy baby. He is now 5 months old and cute as a button. I am looking forward to get him into the studio again soon.

Just Married

Congratulations to Terrell And Nina Dillard. They were married Saturday, August 9th, 2008 at Bethlehem Revival Temple in Niagara Falls with a reception afterwards at The Crown Plaza Hotel in downtown Niagara Falls.

Niagara's newest attraction

We took a break and went to the newest attraction in Niagara. It's called Niagara's Fury and is located at Table Rock by the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side. Admission is $15 and it is really neat inside. You start out with a Disney type animated movie of how Niagara Falls was formed and then your moved into a room with water underneath you and a 360 degree surround screen. Then your introduced to all the elements, thunder, lightning, rain, mist and even snow. While a video of melting glaciers and then flying through the gorge and over Niagara as the floor bumps, sways and shakes gives the feel of actually flying. The picture above is a feeble attempt to show you rain and snow coming down inside the theater. Be prepared to get wet if you go.

Congratulations!

Congratulations go out to Alan Lisiecki and Karen Watts. They tied the knot with an outdoor wedding held at Banchetti's Banquet Facilities in Amherst, NY. This wedding was one of the sweetest and most memorable wedding events of the year that we have done. The ceremony was held in the gazebo in back and they finished off with a giant pig roast at the reception. Here are a few pictures from Sunday, August 3, 2008. A great day for everyone except maybe this pig...haha!

Joseph & Jessica Lengen

Congratulations go out to Joeseph Lengen and Jessica Stufkowsky. They united in marriage at Zion Lutheran Church in Niagara Falls on Saturday August 2, 2008. The church is the second oldest church in Niagara Falls and located on 10th and Michigan Ave. We had a great time photographing this lovely couple and their wonderful families. Their reception was at Niagara Active Hose on Lockport Rd. in Town of Niagara. Here are a few images from the day. We hope you enjoy them.
