Assignment #6 for Project 52 is to shoot something that SCREAMS CHOCOLATE! The only way I know how to get that nice chocolatey gloss is to make what my mother, sister, and I call “The Icing From Hell.” 3 seconds too short on the ice, you get icing that...

The photographs I have in my mind make it into my camera every so often. Sometimes I feel bad for my children since they are often the ones standing around when I need subjects. On the other hand, I like to think they’ll be glad to have these someday. The task I...

Project 52’s assignment this week is to photograph an entrepreneur. Well, Ed Bartlett is about as entrepreneur as you can get. Within a very short time, he has taken his Shoreline Out and About website and built it so that it is now Connecticut Out and About. Ed...

The scene is the lobby of the Yale-New Haven Hospital’s Temple Radiology Center in West Haven, CT just moments prior to the ribbon cutting ceremony of the Grand Opening. I say to Irene while busting through all the doors, camera in hand, “Hey! Check it...

Okay, so, Irene is participating in Project 52, and I am mostly only vicariously living through her and not committing… just yet. Routine deadlines make me want to fall to the ground in a faint and let every last drop of blood drain out of my body. Meanwhile, I...

I love these toys so much that I took them out of my kids stuff that they were going to get rid of and kept them for myself. Here are only three out of the seven or so that I have. I wish I knew what the conversation was about!

This week’s Project 52 assignment is to make a photograph of a stranger. “Not a candid, or a ‘street shot’, but a full on portrait. Of course, you may only have a minute or two to make that shot, so being on your toes and ready goes without saying. Some of...
