New Textures

So over this summer I took a bunch of shots that I plan to use as textures an brushes.  I finally had a chance to play around with one.  This is a photo of my wife Laurie form last Christmas.  I threw an image of tree bark in there to check it out.

Neighborhood Photo Tour

To start at the beginning,  3 or 4 years ago I did a family portrait and a small photo session with my neighbor Liam on his first communion day.  This past May it was his sisters turn as well as Adam,  from across the street, and Kevin, from the next house over.  Well word had spread from the time that I did Liam's photos and I was asked to stop by all three houses to take family and communion photos.  I was happy to do so and just had to figure out where to go first.

First stop was at Adam's across the street.

Then Kevin's for some photos of him and his sister Natalie.

And then Caolin's.

And that wrapped up my tour around my neighborhood...wonder whats next?

Port Jervis Firemans Parade Day

So Laurie and I went back to her home town for the annual firemans parade.  Just like every year we hung out at her aunts house which is on the parade route.  I took a few shot of her little cousin Thomas while he was waiting for the fire trucks(which he called dump trucks).

We also stopped by the firehouse after the parade where we met up with some other family and friends. My brother-in-law had his dog Brutis, and his best friend and wife had their daughter Cameron, with them.

Our trip to the Jersey shore

So there we were laying in the sun when then this rolled in. I think a small hurricane new through. The only damage was to some beach umbellas...mine included.

A new start to my blog

So I started my blog and the didn't keep up with it.  Got busy with work,  forgot how to post from my phone,  just kinda stopped.  Well here we go again.  Let see if I can manage to post something almost everyday.  I think that this would also be a good way for me to keep my focus and stop drifting off to other worlds.  I did a lot of fun thing this summer that I would have loved to share...so Im gonna anyway.  It will probably be all shuffled and out of order,  but why not do it anyway.
