A Quick Update

Ok probably not a quick one at all. It has been a interesting month or two. I had a medical procedure done back on April 15th. An endoscopic procedure to put a stent into a psuedocyst in my pancreas. The procedure went well, but I had a bit of a complication after being sent home, I started running a fever, had chills and pain. The top three things in the call them immediately list. I came down…

When the Old becomes the New

A few months ago, I was browsing a local pawn shop hoping to find something interesting. Looking thru the used cameras behind their counter, I spotted an old Olympus 35mm film camera and with no second thoughts decided it needed a home. I ended up spending 25 dollars on a OM-1 with a 50mm f1.8 Olympus Zuiko lens. I was happy as hell, it is hard to find a used one with the original Zuiko lens,…

Concert Photography

There is nothing like shooting a show…… And after an absence of a few years, I have started shooting concerts again! I am once again covering shows for Northeast Rock Review So far this year I have covered a couple of 80s Guitar Greats and a 70s Guitar Great in a wide range of venues, from Mohegan Sun Arena, to the Webster and the Infinity Music Hall. Keep an eye on NERR, with concert season…

this past summer, I took my son to a local event and they had a couple there giving a presentation on Raptors and had this beautiful bird with them. I have always loved the colors on a Kestrel

Run…… Very Fast, Very Very Fast and Don’t Look Back!

A view of Little Grassy Lake “borrowed” from Google

I was a wee little one when I started reading books and watching television shows about this thing called Bigfoot or Sasquatch. My imagination ran wild while playing out in the woods around my many childhood homes, most them with some sort of woods nearby.

I also was keeping an eye to the sky….. ya know… Flying Saucers.

Yes, I was not normal….…

Time For A Change..... Don't Worry, Just For My Websites lol

Time For A Change….. Don’t Worry, Just For My Websites lol

For a long time now, I have thought about different ways to do my website. Especially monetizing alot of it.  You know, selling prints of my pictures.  In the past I have done things like Fine Art America.  It was my first attempt at trying to sell my pictures and over the last 7 years I have only sold maybe 7 prints over that time making maybe a whole 40 bux that whole time lol

For 30 bux…

Added a new gallery to my website today, and also a bunch of other pics, stop on by and check them out!

-sigh- I need to spend more time in Maine......

Well, it has been a couple of weeks now. I think almost 3 weeks since my first blog post here on the new site.  Like the proverbial tortoise, I am slowly but surely adding new content every few days, such as the NEW Concert Photography Galleries, Like Anthrax from their 2017 stop at the Oakdale Theatre and Vain from this years M3 FestivalI have also been tweaking the presentation a bit more here and there as I learn more about this new website and how it works.For instance, I have split the Animals and Birds gallery into two separate galleries.  I am pretty  sure as time goes on and I keep adding more images, I will be making more changes.  Like to the Nature Gallery, it will eventually be split into a couple of different ones. Well Lets Talk about  something else for now.......I often get asked for my advice by new photographers.  Lord knows why they are asking me for advice, not like I am all that great at this photography thing or know everything there is to know about photography (Tho I can act like it LOL)  There are two things that I keep telling them.1.  Read your manual.I know, its a bunch of boring gobbledygook, but the things you will learn.  I not only have read the paper version many times, but I also keep a pdf version on my phone and also on my tablet.  You never know when there will be time, when you think to yourself, "Hey My Camera can do that, how do I do it?"  2.  NEVER go anywhere without a camera.You WILL thank me later.  When I was going to college, I started playing more and more with a used Canon AE-1.  One of my fellow students, was actually a sports writer and photographer for a local newspaper and passed on that beautiful piece of advice..I never would've gotten that picture of the deer if I had left my camera in my car while at work that morning, or that beautiful landscape with the pond.Frank --

Once Again Facing The Reality of being Mortal

Once Again Facing The Reality of being Mortal

As another birthday is barreling towards me, I have once again been reminded of how fickle mortality can be and how swiftly that Scythe swings down….

Death has taken many people from me over the last 30 or so years now. My father, My daughter, My grandparents (both sets), various aunts, uncles, cousins and even the occasional friend.

Like this week…….

But it was different this…

Wow.... Where has 2018 gone???

Wow…. Where has 2018 gone???

There is just over a week left to 2018, the year that saw me hit a couple of milestones in my life, both good and bad.

So lets take a look at the Life of Frank over the course of 2018.

My first Victim of 2018.

I decided to shoot more portraits and start pushing my photography more then I did in 2017. Which led me to play around with a continuous lighting set up I had bought on…
