Samples from the first 24 Scans

Okay... I am excited about this project, possibly overly excited, but what can I say. I have been waiting for years for this opportunity. So I thought that I was would share a sample of the first 24 scans. 24 scans that came from 1 of 6 tubs of these glass plates, and this tub isn't even the fullest of the tubs. I plan on scanning and converting one tub of these plates a weekend.

So here are the samples from the first pass...

First Shots from Fairview

Yup... it rained. It rained hard. The light was bad, The light was real bad. But boy was it worth it all the effort and the soaking wet clothes. After two hours of research, I was able to contact the managing partner of firm that owns the abandoned facility. Abandoned for 20 years, the buildings are in bad shape, but are beautiful.

Here are the first images from the Fairview Training Center. More will be posted in the following days:

Smith-Gaynor Wedding

What a fantastic time I had shooting the wedding for Rich and Nikki. First off it was a Halloween wedding, how fun is that. Many of the guests dressed in Halloween costumes.

Second off, it was truly unconventional much like Nikki and Rich. Thank you both for allowing me and my much appreciated second shooter Chris David of peoplephotos.biz to be a part of and capture your special day.

As a teaser, I am posting a little bit of a sneak peak for them, because I know they are taking their laptop with them on their honeymoon and might be checking in a day or two.

Here is the sneak peak.... and while these are simply the first five photos I culled from the hundreds, I believe that these represent what I do best.... Art and Life.



The Bride

Nikki was an absolute joy to work with. There was absolutely no bridezilla here; all smiles all the time.


Bride Groom and Guests

  I know I looked funny getting this shot, but it was worth it for the Bride and Groom. After all I did promise them art.


Rings and Pool Balls

  Another shot that had me in a compromising position... But the result was both fun and creative.


Something of an Enigma

This was a concept shot that Chris set up. Fun and creative use of the shoes and pool table. Thanks Chris for the valuable input throughout the event.

My deepest congratulations and best wishes to both Nikki and Rich. May your life together be filled with the love, joy and spontaneity that your wedding brought to you and those around you.
