Just finished reviewing the Proofs for an up coming article on Downingtown that will be appearing in the April 2014 issue of County Lines Magazine!

In the issue, 5 of my images will be appearing, including a two-page article feature spread!

Needless to say, I am very excited for this type of exposure!
(Sorry!)

I am not sure when issues are mailed to Subscribers, but look for the Annual Wedding Issue!

Thanks again to the wonderful folks at County Lines Magazine for this!

Covered Bridges of the Oxford Area – the Book

I have been playing with the idea of publishing a photography book for some time, and after my experience with producing Madison’s 10th birthday gift, I decided to make a first real attempt.

So what was my first real book going to be about?

Looking back at my recent history, it only makes sense that I do something about covered bridges, and I already had the content from the presentation I did back in October 2012 for Citadel bank.

This time is going to be easier from the standpoint that I only had a limited number of pictures, and a layout with the text.

So after a couple of hours, I was able to put the following together using the simple Adobe Lightroom module, and uploading to Blurb.com.

I invite you to take a look, and let me know what you think.

Covered Bridges of the Oxford Area

With this first book done, and I’m sure that I’ll revisit at some point, I am beginning to put together some ideas on themed books.

This time, using Blurb’s SmartBook application to put together my next adventure, namely because it seems to offer far more options and controls than what is available in the built-in Adobe Lightroom module.

In the meantime, let me know what you think of the book!

Updated Website Look

It has been about two years, since I last updated the look of my website, and with the release of WordPress, they finally offered a template that caught my eye.

Yesterday, after doing a lot of reading, and backing up files, I upgraded my website to version 3.8.

I am happy to report that I did not have any issues with the upgrade, and now I’m just fine-tuning sections with some of the new features that are now offered!

So please take a look around, and if you see anything “odd”, or have any comments, please let me know!
