One recent collaboration was with jazz musician Dana Marcine, producing cover photography and promo pix for her new album, “Crossing Lights.”

Dana had a great railroad concept in mind, and she guided us to the perfect location to evoke the exotic glory days of travel by rail:

Also recently, Brenda and I had the pleasure of working with Roderick Jammel Halsey on photos and CD artwork for his new CD, “The Tablet That Walks”

Roderick and his beautiful and talented wife Jolie came to our studio with a well-thought out plan — Roderick had previsualized the look and style he wanted for his photos, and all Brenda and I had to do was turn those ideas into real live photos. Here are some of the images we created together:

We LOVED working with Roderick and Dana, and wish them great success with their new releases. Please click on the links above and check out their music!

This spring, we had a great music photoshoot with up and coming “tween” music artist Karina. We loved listening to the tasty tracks she had just laid down the day before while we captured her happy style on camera!

Of course, we can’t show you our recent music photography without going back in time and showing you some blasts from the past. In late 2003, I shot this image of Jason Crigler at The Casbah in San Diego, when he visited there backing up Marshall Crenshaw. Jason liked the image so much he chose it for the cover of his upcoming CD, “Down Like Hail.” Little did anyone know that just a few months later, while playing on-stage in NY, Jason would suffer a near-devasting brain hemorrhage caused by an Arteriovenous Malformation, or AVM — an abnormal collection of blood vessels in his brain. You can read more on NPR’s site about Jason’s struggle by clicking here. Jason’s own web site is here.

At about the same time I shot Jason’s album cover, I was working with several talented independent San Diego artists. I shot the images for the tray insert and back cover of The Coyote Problem’s “Wire” thanks to the encouragement of guitarist Peter Bolland.

Another artist I had the privilege of shooting at about the same time was Gregory Page. I shot some images he used on CD packaging, and we also did some great promo shots:

After moving to Albany NY, a chance attendance at a Searson summer concert on the Empire Plaza led to working with the hot Canadian band on photos that ultimately ended up on the cover of their Searson “Live” album.

There are a lot more stories to tell and pictures to share, but I’m out of time for now. Check back in a couple weeks for an expanded version of this story. Until then, check out some samples of my concert photography in the slideshow below.

So she and Eric had a morning ceremony on a warm and sunny August day, and there was no waiting at all!

After the ceremony, they had a rocking party at Longfellows, and then we headed over to Yaddo for a fun post-reception photo session.

They came down the aisle to James Brown’s “I feel good,”  and the bridal party rocked colorful wigs and crazy glasses for their reception introductions. It was a joyful lighthearted celebration for a great couple!

They had a wonderful July wedding on a warm and beautiful day at Saratoga National. Jess’ mom Sherry coordinated lots of the details — from the black and white striped table cloths and bow ties to the multicolored flower centerpieces on the tables, to the hand made hats for the guests to try on, it was a classic Saratoga Springs wedding.

June turned out to be a really busy month for us, with lots of engagement sessions in some really interesting places. Here are a few!

Kerri-Ann and Rob took us out on a sunny late afternoon to a great park in Northampton, MA. We were having so much fun making pictures with them that we almost forgot to stop! Brenda says I have a tendency to overshoot. I have no idea what she is talking about!

Jennifer and James took us to Saratoga Springs on another beautiful evening. They were a great couple and we can’t wait to shoot their wedding!

Katie and Shane introduced us to an amazing garden we had never shot at before — it was amazingly colorful, which was a good thing, since it rained like a monsoon just five minutes before the session started. I think the clouds and flowers combined to give their pictures a magical, mystical flavor.
