Introducing Senior Photography

This has been a delightful week.







I had the singular joy of photographing my great friend Tom and Jane VanderZee's twin seniors, and presenting the photos to them.

Tom and I have known each other since we were 12, and to be able to tell stories to his kids about those long ago days - stories that they had never heard - was so much fun... I think that Nick and Lauren have a better appreciation for their dad now.

So what's this about adding Seniors to our products?

I've seen so many Senior photographers adding gimmicks and presentation ploys to get business at the expense of providing good photography. We simply take great photos that make our clients look their very best.

No, I don't do buttons, fancy posters, big books and such. Just great photos that will bring back the pride that their parents feel each time that they look at the beautiful portrait displayed on the wall. And we don't forget the cool photos that the seniors will be proud to hand out to their friends.

More next time!

The Cardinal

In the gentle town of Sterling in Northern NY is the famous Sterling Renaissance Faire, where, as I have posted before, my son Douglass has jousted this summer with the New Riders of the Golden Age.

My purpose in attending the faire this particular day was to photograph the jousters only. I left family behind so that I could pay attention to the task at hand.

When you set on a photographic task, you are sometimes blind to other opportunities. Happily, this was NOT hte case today. Sir William Dudley had just completed outfitting his horse Marcus in his gleaming armor when the Cardinal came to visit. To the left is the result, which I call "The Blessing".
