Day 2 in NYC, Times Square, and Bryant Park. Brian asked Dawn to marry him in the park. The funny story behind it is that as Brian was about to ask the big question, ring out and all, a vendor stopped and asked them if they would like to purchase some candy. Are you kidding me? Do you not see what’s going on right now? Dawn said yes… to the proposal. Not the candy.

I loved this wall and I couldn’t just walk by it and not use it again.


Here’s the spot she said yes!

I was stuck in a rain storm earlier in the day. Then this one came out of no where. I did notice the photos on the back of the camera were getting darker and darker quickly, well before sunset. Then the sky opening up, again.

I loved shooting this one with a faster shutter speed so you can see all the individual drops falling.

We tried running into the library to do some photos, but it was closed.





There was a great sunset coming through the buildings.

Anyone here in the north east knows how crazy the weather has been lately. It could be a beautiful day out, then 5 minutes laster, downpours. Then back to sun. With my schedule being so full I really didn’t want to reschedule my two shoots in Manhattan, so we just crossed our fingers and went for it.

Doris and Tom are regulars in Manhattan. Tom worked there and took the ferry to and from New Jersey. So it was only fitting that we incorporate that into the shoot.

If you haven’t been to Times Square lately, go. There are two streets that go through Times Square and they have one of them completely closed off to traffic. You can now walk around more freely and even sit in a chair in the middle of everything. From what I hear, the city is doing this to make Times Square more pedestrian friendly by giving the area a better identity. It worked.


I’ve been really getting into some more street photography lately and I couldn’t help but incorporate a little into their shoot.



Here’s the all glass side of the ferry terminal.

In the reflection of the glass is the building Tom worked in.

BOSTON! I love Boston. That reminds me as I’m sitting in a hotel in Manhattan that I gave my car, which has a big Red Sox “B” on the back, to the valet. Hopefully nothing will happen to it. What a walk around town we had. I love this town.

What’s my obsession with puddle reflections this year?






I should NOT have been balancing on the fence I was on to get this shot. Kelley was holding on to me.

I was hiding behind a trash can so I wouldn’t end up in the reflection on the button. The image on the right is where they got engaged!

I saw this photo opportunity and thought it just screamed the look and feel of Boston.

Just waiting to cross the street.



I really should post the whole series of photos from the above shot. I had them stand there so I can time the train going by with some blurry motion action. Well as soon as the train got right up to Emily and Eric, it fired its horn! Emily jumped and walked away really quick. I thought she was going to have a heart attack!

Kelley and I have been flying a lot the past two years. Amazingly enough, we haven’t had to pay for a single flight! That’s all thanks to the Jet Blue Amex for business and earning points. There’s one main reason I fly Jet Blue, besides Direct TV at every seat, and that’s the leg room. Especially when it comes to traveling with my equipment. I pack 2 camera bodies, 6 lens’s, a flash, and my laptop in a ThinkTank bag for under the seat. In order to really get the bag under the seat in front of me, I take the camera bodies out and put them in the front of me. Once in the air I move the ThinkTank bag under my legs and stretch out. Plenty of room! The iPhone picture doesn’t really show it, but I was able to put 4 fingers inbetween my knees and the cameras.

When I take the laptop out I can actually tilt the screen back and type like it’s on a normal table. I had to fly Delta once this year, and besides being one of the worst experiences out of JFK, I could barely move in the seat and had to become a contortionist to use the laptop. I can’t wait for my next Jet Blue flight! Where should I go next?
