Before a recent wedding, I photographed my gear bag all ready to go. Peek into my bag at this link.

Congratulations to Cynthia and Francesco! The location is the penthouse at the Hudson Hotel. Francesco composed a song for the occasion which was performed live on acoustic guitar by Goro & Marcelo. Flowers by Rountree Flowers. NYC proposal planner: the fabulous Sarah Pease of Brilliant Event Planning. Note for photographers: I’ve added exposure data for two...
Bride in the mirror, East Northport, NY. Photographed with the Canon EOS 5D and 50mm f/1.2L lens.
Something different today: a selection of black-and-white photographs from a recent vacation in Croatia. These were all made with the little Canon PowerShot G10 camera (the latest model is the Canon PowerShot G11) and processed in Photoshop. (For purchase of fine art prints from this set, please inquire via the Contact page — thank you.)

I’ve just upgraded the Search box on this blog. It seems like a little thing, but it’s actually a big improvement over the old one. It’s labeled simply “Search” but it does a live search as you type. Please give it a try!

I recently bought a Canon G10 camera. It’s not as small as...
In the world of photography, the word “proofs” is used to describe trial prints, to distinguish them from final prints. My dictionary defines a proof as “a trial photographic print made for initial selection.”
In order to make excellent proofs, I adjust each proof for brightness, contrast and color. While those adjustments typically take me hours per wedding or...
So I signed up for Twitter yesterday! On the advice of photographer friends, it seems like a good idea to reserve one’s name before someone else takes it. Click the logo for my page:
Twitter.com is extremely popular at the moment. I’m amazed that so many people are using it. At the same time, I’m not...
A friend asked me to advise which rechargeable batteries I recommend to power on-camera flashes. Wedding photography can be very demanding on a flash unit. Even when a flash is used at low power, it can use up a lot of energy over the course of a wedding day. And when bounced against walls and...
