A bit of Christmas flair on Genesee Street

Spent the night at the uptown watching a movie with a few other Shadowmen.

Now I am posting this and hitting the bed!



Cheers,

The Holiday weekend has passed

I had big plans to work on a few projects last week and weekend while I had time off, however it did not turn out that way. Much of the time was spent with friends and family, as it should be.

I always remembered going to see the lighting of the Christmas lights at the train station every year with my grandparents and parents, later after my grandparents passed away I would go with my mom and sister. It was always a good time and the fireworks were always great. It was nice to experience it with a different group of people to make new memories and pass that on to everyone who visits the site who did not make it there.

With the semester winding down I have a lot of projects and work going on. I hope to have my shots of the fireworks up along with some other pictures I have been working on by this weekend. As D said last Friday night "well today I took a few hundred more pictures to put in my archives that I have to work on now," it seems we are digging ourselves a never ending hole of pictures to work on. Which is not a bad thing at all.

Quite the week of pictures! I told you so:)

L's memory of this display from the past, combined with my previous hunting for photo locations came together for an end result that will not soon be forgotten.

By the way, any of our images are for sale (still working on ideas for "buy it now" buttons on the blog and gallery). If interested contact the specific Shadowman using their email address listed to the right.

I'm behind. A new model shoot from a few weeks ago.

... F, working it. What a fun shoot, I just wish I was not so out of it. I am still happy with the outcome though!











Bed!

.. and then there was wind.

... which moves clouds:



... and makes power:

Downtown Utica NY, at night and so beautiful.

Last Friday, I set up a shoot with three Beautiful models(I will post these soon) and I made Hotel Utica the center of attention. While there I made connections that enabled L ( who was helping me with the model shoot) and I to get to the roof..

Pictures are as follows, but look for more very soon. I shot from Hotel Utica through out the day, getting some various angles and coloring of Utica's beautiful downtown area.

Downtown Genesee Street, Utica New York as seen by very few:

Happy Turkey day from the Shadowmen

Its gettin colder in CNY

oddly enough it seems that we shoot out side more when its cold. This is from last Friday night, and yes it was really cold up there and on top of that I forgot gloves.

Finally its Finished

I have spent far to many hours working on this shot; as a result i have not been working on many other pieces of work recently. However I hope that you agree the time spent has been worth it. I hope you enjoy this shot as much as i do.


There will be more work to follow soon. I am looking forward to the holiday season for sometime off from school and more time to do work for the site and photography in general.

Hi

The good, the bad (maybe) and the Art.

The Good.

I am very proud with E and L and their images used in the recent contest. They both really help in showing what our tight photo group is all about. We had a great time shooting for this contest (E, L, T, B and I) and the energy we pass on to one another to help feed our artistic appetite, is quite amazing. We truly are a GROUP and will keep on moving ahead in this vast world of photography..

The Bad.

A new mayor for Utica... hmmm... it could be bad. I feel that Utica was going along a well thought out path and had no need to be side tracked, nor did we need to open a new can of worms. The job I do at work, has NO relation to what happens in my home. If you understand that, good. If not, you are outside the loop.

I am sorry to see Julian go, but with this change I do wish the new Mayor well.

Contest is over.
Election is over.
Art is back.

Oh yes, we have been busy...











Be on the look out. We are WAY behind posting pictures we have taken;)
