An update on what I'm doing

So I've been back at college for a week now, and everything is going pretty smoothly. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any internet/TV set up at our apartment yet - that won't be done until as late as Thursday this week, so I am only able to access email and the internet from campus, which is a pain.

I am going to be doing a DBMS wrap up blog post with 10 of my favorite pictures from the year. It's going to be tough narrowing down the 300 or so photos that I like to only 10.

To parents of DBMS students - I have a LOT of photos from this summer (I submitted around 200 or so to the slideshow, but I have at least a thousand photos total). If you want to see photos of your kid and possibly order prints, just send me an email. I have actually categorized all the photos by student, which means that if you email me their name I can host a private gallery of their images for you to look through (categorization is only for the kids I know/have taught). Alternatively, you can just look through the photos I took this summer (these are the ones I submitted to the slideshow).

I am currently working on an update to my site to make it easier to view galleries and order prints, as well as for me to update. Currently its a bit tough to navigate and was really just created to showcase some of my images as a sort of online portfolio. Now I'm trying to transition into more of a print ordering and gallery based site which will be easier for me to update and categorize.

I haven't really been doing any major editing of my photos lately, but I did used to be pretty into graphics design and photoshop. I was playing around with a windsurfing photo the other day and am pretty pleased with how my edit came out (see the end of the post - you can click to enlarge them).

I really enjoy sailing photography and hopefully will get the opportunity to do more of it next summer. If I could find a boat to shoot from I'd be interested in doing a few regattas and hopefully some big boat racing next year.


RPI Field Hockey 8/30

I shot this game for the school newspaper. I haven't shot field hockey before, and I don't know that much about the game so it was a learning experience. RPI won 1-0.
