I’m getting ready to sell prints and greeting cards for the indoor Brunswick Market at the old Fort Andross Mill. This is one of the images I hope will sell; it was made this summer at Camden harbor while waiting to depart to Mantinicus Island. Handheld, with the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS at 200mm.

A former physics student of mine (Tony Lucchese) and his fiance (Sarah LaFore) hired me to photograph their wedding. They met on the theatrical stage and staged a superhero themed wedding in which Tony was Superman, and Sarah was Wonder Woman. The wedding party consisted of various super heroes and amazons. This photo is from the rehearsal the day before the actual wedding, but I liked the dramatic lighting. You can read more about the wedding at Tony and Sarah’s wedding blog at http://super-wedding.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html

Tomorrow is my last class of the semester, and I head off to Poplar Stream Falls Hut and then Flagstaff Lake Hut for Saturday night. I’ll be scouting out good spots for the August Photographic Workshop that Rick Holt and I will be teaching. I hope the steady rain stops and I get some breaks with just overcast. I think I’m bringing an umbrella.

The photo below is totally unrelated to my trip, but I thought I’d post it anyway. It was taken last summer at Popham Beach on a spectacularly foggy morning.

Popham Beach, Maine

This picture was taken this morning at Popham Beach, Maine — one of the few sandy beaches in Maine. This picture was NOT photoshop-ed. Just a simple levels adjustment.

Just when I fell into the trap of thinking winter might be fading, we get another 50 cm of snow—this time heavy, wet snow that snapped tree limbs and knocked out power. Here are some of our neighborhood children on top of a 2 meter high snow pile that has accumulated this winter.
