Say Goodbye to 8th Grade

My oldest son Erik has graduated from the 8th grade as a member of the National Junior Honor Society and is now headed to high school in the fall.

Man I really feel old, but I sure am proud of him! :)

Shenandoah Valley Pow Wow

I spent yesterday afternoon at the Shenandoah Valley Pow Wow in Quicksburg, VA and had a blast! Took a few snaps, enjoyed the dancing, singing and drum work and even had a little Native American cuisine to boot (note: buffalo meat does NOT taste like chicken)!

Anyway I had such a good time I thought I should share a few shots of the participants - hope you enjoy!

"I tried to keep both arts alive, but the camera won. I found that while the camera does not express the soul, perhaps a photograph can!"
Ansel Adams
“To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Fathers Day Sale!!!

Fathers Day is fast approaching - what with me being a father and all, I thought this would be a great occasion to give some discounts to our wonderful customers!

From now until midnight 6/17 anyone who books a wedding will receive a FREE engagement session and anyone booking a portrait will get 1/2 off the sitting fee!

Just go to photofanatic.org, click the hookup link and in the comments section mention DADS ARE GREAT and you will receive the discount! :)

Special does not cover travel expenses.

Kristina is Numero Uno!! :)

I just wanted to share with the world how cool it is that our first customer-to-be since launching the new website has come through for a visit and dropped us a line!

Kristina and Chris seem like MY KINDA COUPLE and she was good enough to share this photo of the two lovebirds a couple of years ago in Costa Rica - anyone who goes to South America for Christmas is alright in my book!

Aside from all that, let's face it - they are easy on the eyes and will look great in a gown and tux! Congrats again on your engagement :)

Slow Site

Folks,

It's a new day with a new site and on a new host - despite all the testing that indicated no problems prior to the switch over, it seems there are some performance issues that have cropped up that need to be ironed out - we are working on it and one way or the other we will get it resolved ASAP!

We appreciate your patience in the meantime - if you find the site to be somewhat less responsive than expected I certainly apologize!

New Gear!!!

In February when Canon announced an April release date for their new 1D Mark III camera I decided the added features were worthy of an upgrade and promptly sold my nearly 3 year old 1D Mark II.

Then I patiently watched and waited while they pushed the release back again and again - but yesterday I finally received my new baby in the mail (Christmas in June!) and so far I'd say it was well worth the wait!

So now I am looking forward to shooting some of you good people with my new Canon :)

Forward in time
