I hope so! As some of you may know, I’m a bit of a car geek. I don’t own but, one car but, I truly love spending time with fast cars and capturing them with my camera. I parked next to this sweet Nissan GTR the other day to cover a shoot at Tufts University. Putting the Smart Fortwo next to the GTR I’m surprised with some of the design elements. I mean my Smart is hardly a GTR but, maybe someday I’ll get a client who will bring one along for an engagement shoot. Besides the GTR is about 4 times more expensive than my Smart Fortwo but, I have a convertible and it can be lowered at any speed which is pretty darn cool.

I attended the Barack Obama celebration party last night at the Fairmount Copley in Boston. It was a fantastic event with people from every race, creed, and color. The event had scores of media there broadcasting live and interviewing the crowd. I was simply there to enjoy the company and document this historic day in history. I was amazed at how diverse the crowd was. I was amazed at the out pouring of emotion, the absolute happiness, and the optimism for change. After the celebration ended at the Fairmount Copley people started gathering in the streets and celebrating. It was amazing! I truly felt an overwhelming joy and happiness with my fellow Bostonians! We Barack’d the Vote!

On an additional note, I so wish that I pursued photojournalism after high school. I feel so connected when I document events and it brings me such unbelievable joy. Maybe someday I’ll have the opportunity to be a staff photographer.

I recently shot a fantastic wedding with a great couple. Liz and Mike were married at the The Pasyson Park Congregational Church in Belmont. The ceremony was short and sweet yet filled with love and lots of emotion. The reception was held at The Lyman Estate in Waltham. It’s a great old mansion with exceptoinal scenery. Here’s some of my favorite shots.
