I was out in Branford along the out-dated, unused rail road track snear my place...well I thought they were unused until a little trolly car came cruising by. Anyways there are these man made birds nest stands out in the swampy fields and I was able to catch a few birds flying from the nest. If anyone knows what type of birds these are let me know.

The Stavens

I had the privilege of doing a family shoot for a great family and good friends...Tricia, John, Jack, Max and Emma. Tricia and her brother, sister and parents go way back with my family.
Tricia and John have the cutest kids and they loved having their pics taken, especially Emma. These were shot at a little park in Bristol.
It was a good challenge for me because the park had busy roads on all sides and I wanted to find simple, clean backgrounds that wouldn't distract from the photos. Check out a few of my favorites.

Grad

Deana got her masters degree last night from SCSU! With all the wedding planning and other stuff going on in our lives it amazes me how she dealt with teaching and then class at night. I don't think I could have done it, not to mention she graduated with a 4.0! Awesome job De!

This weekend I attended Adam, my future brother-in-laws graduation from Bryant in RI. The guest speaker was George H.W. Bush the 41st President. He gave a really good, inspiring speech.

Heres a great quote he recited from Teddy Roosevelt..."To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society."

Here are some shots from the day.

The tent the graduation was under was huge!
