Having been on leave from work for the last week or so I have had a chance to step away from the stress of the daily grind and again discover the joy of picking up a camera and heading out to find interesting photo opportunities to add to my portfolio. I have been away from photography now for too long and it has been one of my new years resolutions to get back on the horse and start to really build new material into my repertoire. Below is a selection of shots taken in early January 2012, hope you enjoy them.

This year has been a very busy year, full of changes. I have moved to a new home and also I am to become a dad in early 2012, a change that I look forward to very much. I also have created a new art studio space in my new home from which I plan to produce a great deal of design/art and photography work during 2012. Below is a collection of my personal favorite photos that I took during the last year. I hope to become more active as a photographer in the upcoming year. I want to get into experimental photography specializing in slow exposures and working with light to produce visually captivating works. Here’s to a great new year and hopefully a very prosperous 2012!

Last week I went on a sunset photoshoot for my client Skapars Design Group to document 2 of their most recent jobs located in Cambridge Massachusetts and Roslindale Massachusetts. Here are the shots processed using a mixture of Photoshop CS5 and Picasa 3. I also used a panoramic stitching program for several of the shots to show the wide angle effect. On the actual webiste you can also check out a couple of “before” the landscaping photos as well as technical blueprints for each site to get a sense of how my client transformed each garden from orinary to extraordinary. Please ckick on the thumnails below to see some of the shots from last weeks shoot.

I have just created a design for my new business cards. I have selected 10 of my best photographs to feature on the back. Although I am listing myself as a Web Designer, Photographer and Fine Artist – I feel the visuals the photos display make the cards stand out better. I have included a QR code on the card. I had considered putting this on the back of the card to give people the option of manually going to my site or flipping it over and scanning the code with their smart phone. I just felt the need to add it as the appearance of the QR code gives the card a more cutting edge feel. Below is a sample of how they will look.

I was lucky enough to recently attend several day long meeting set in Rome Italy. I had some spare time on my hands and could not visit such a beautiful place without trying to capture some of that beauty with the lens of my camera. I have to say it is one of the most awe inspiring scenic cities I have ever had the privilege to be in. Please click on the thumbnails to view a slide show of my best shots from this trip. Enjoy!
