Environmental Portraits
Milford, PA: Environmental Portraits are photographs of people using the environment or scenery as the background as opposed to a studio created image in front of a background. Typically these photos are taken where someone works, lives or plays or where the person has a connection. It’s a nice change from sports where I typically carry multiple cameras and lenses as well as hundreds of pictures. These photos were all taken on location with a single camera and lens combination. Moreover, these were all as they came out of the camera, which is unusual in this very post-production oriented world.
If you want a unique portrait taken On Location, please contact me to set up an appointment.
Wedding Day
June 14, 2009; Redwood Valley, CA: While I specialize in capturing action sports images, I can’t help but post pictures I took during my childhood friend’s wedding event held at Frey’s Vineyard in Redwood Valley, CA. The ceremony was held in a grove of Redwood trees at one of California’s first organic vineyard located in Mendocino County. Both my friend Dennis Crean and his bride Heidi Grosskamp are vegans so the food at all the weekend festivities left a lot to be desired for this self proclaimed carnivore. However, I can honestly say it was one of the best and most fun weddings I have attended over the years.

Photography Tip: How to get Sharp Images
I really believe you should use a professional to get memorable photos of your favorite athlete. Sure, I am biased because it is how I make a living, but you will enjoy your high school or college athlete’s games much better. It’s tough to watch your kids life pass you bu through a viewfinder. If you insist on taking your own photos because of budgetary constraints or you simply enjoy taking photos, here are a couple of suggestions that should improve your ability to get tack sharp images.
First of all do not buy anything but a Nikon or Canon DSLR. Sure lots of other cameras take very good pictures, but there are numerous reasons virtually all sports photographers use Canon or Nikon. To get sharper images, my suggestions for the amateur using a Nikon or Canon SLR are as follows: 1) Be sure the camera is set to continuously track your subject, 2) increase your depth of field when possible; and most importantly, 3) be sure the camera has locked on to your subject before releasing the shutter.
Lax For the Cure 2008
14 July 2008, New Egypt, NJ: Lax For The Cure was the initial concept of Jessica Shoulberg, Mendham High School Coach, Director of STEPS Lacrosse and Director of the Lax By The Sea tournament. During the summer of 2007 The STEPS Lacrosse club had 3 mothers fighting breast cancer. Jessica’s concept came from the notion that with the growth of girls lacrosse and summer tournament circuit, that an opportunity presented itself to start a tournament that would meet the ideals of players, parents, clubs, and college coaches. The goal was to ultimately find a way to raise funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer.
Here is a video clip from one of the games from the tournament that was done by our videographers on behalf of F8 Images.
