Bentley at the water. Elana and Dan were tossing a ball back and forth for him. He's a beautiful, calm golden retriever. He waited easily until pack leader Elana told him it was okay to go in the water. Amazing.A bouncy dog, wet fur flying.And back legs churning! Must - get - the ball!But wait -- a lemur? Slow shutter speed is fun.

Thank you, Elizabeth and John, for bringing your sweet, sweet 5-month-old twins in for photos! And for paying me a beautiful compliment: "You really did it - you captured so many different aspects of their personalities, it is amazing." I loved it - let's do it again soon!

Just a quick shout about the Mother's Day fundraiser photo shoots coming up soon.On Saturday 5/9, I'm charging $150 per shoot (wicked discounted) at the Lowell studio as a fundraiser for the Friends of Western Avenue Studios, who are raising money to buy the Western Avenue Studios building so that artists can always do their artwork there at way-below-market rents.Was that a run-on sentence?

Stories from the Shelter is a benefit event for the Lowell Humane Society that's coming up at the studios. It's on Friday evening May 15th from 6-9pm. I'll be showing a bunch of images of 9 of the shelter cats, plus a rabbit named Sadie. Here's a sneak peek:From the postcard:"The artists at Western Avenue Studios have partnered with the Lowell Humane Society to create an exhibit inspired by the

Merrimack Repertory Theatre has "Moon for the Misbegotten", a Eugene O'Neill play, up for the next several weeks. Definitely worth a gander: great set (the stage - it's raked!), great lines, and best of all, great actors to fill the parts. Very enjoyable.Here are the pix Jamie and Tom chose for the press.Edward Morgan directing, Kate Udall as Josie, Michael Canavan as Jim, Gordon Joseph Weiss as

Thank you, Kristen and Margaret, for bringing your cute, cute, cute boys in again. I love seeing you every year, and I look forward to next year already. There's something amazing and very humbling about seeing how much bigger and more mature they are each year.Here's our favorite photo, for all to enjoy.

I have a google alert set up to let me know when Megpix photos are used with publications (or at least carry my tag-line, not necessarily foolproof). Just received an alert for Theater Mania, which published the "Art of Sacrifice" publicity shot.The article.The photo.Actors Nesbitt Blaisdell and Jeremiah Wiggins posed for the shot and performed in the play.Not long after the shot went out to

First taste of ice cream. OK, actually, it's maybe the 3rd taste. When I really knew he didn't like it but I just had to take a picture.

There's a micro-pocket near the back door. Which isn't as exotic as it sounds - no star fields, no warp drives. No microwavable sandwiches.But it is exciting to this winter-weary soul. The micro-pocket is an area of garden that's more protected than the garden by the street or out in the back behind the barn. It's in an ell of house angles. (I think that may mark the first time I've used the

And here are the photos from the new show at Merrimack Rep - Bad Dates. Elizabeth Aspenlieder plays Haley Walker in a very energetic production. The play was written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Adrianne Krstansky.Here's the quickie synopsis: "A hilarious and touching comedy, Bad Dates follows the story of Haley Walker, a single mother with a teenage daughter, a screamingly stressful job,

So I've been taking photos for the Merrimack Repertory Theatre since, like, forever. OK, maybe since 2003 or 2004, but those 5 years have gone by slowly/quickly. You know how it goes.The MRT has 6 shows a year, and I photograph them the night before press night - the dress rehearsal. They give me the run of the house, and I take photos of individuals, interactions, scene-wide shots - and it often

Diana Coluntino came into the studio for photos of her creations a while back. She does beautiful and sometimes dangerous-looking sculptures, whimsical hats, and 2 1/2 dimensional paintings. Fantastic, energetic work.At the end of our shoot, I asked if we could make an artist portrait, and this is what we did.

In the summer, I photograph flowers using a macro lens. I try to think like a bug. This winter, I took some photos of my son with a macro lens. I'm not sure I wasn't thinking like a bug.This was from a shoot this past weekend at the Lowell studio. I find myself conserving effort where I can, when I've got my kid along. For example, I usually set up a couple of lights for a studio shoot. With C

Suzi's son Dashiell and C pass a box back and forth the other day at our house. Neither of them minded when the other took the box. There was, however, no offering of the box.Photography-wise, the background is a mess. I decided I didn't mind for a couple of reasons.1 - The "my kid!" factor. In other words, it's my kid and why would I mind a little messy background when it's such a cute shot!2 -

C digs the mirror!Photographically, I've always had a hard time composing mirror shots. I was hoping I wouldn't go wrong with this one.The light coming into the living room in mid-morning is contrasty but lovely to shoot in. With C facing down, light bounced back onto his face from the mirror - I should try that kind of light bounce in the studio! And I love the highlight on his cheek, about the

There's a series of photo exhibits that take place over a weekend in Lowell. That's coming up at the end of January. I recently did a series of photos of artists, artwork, and stuff they use to make artwork. The exhibit at Western Ave. (where I maintain a photo studio) has "Point of View" as its theme. In a building that has more than 150 artists, I wanted to show the variety of personalities,

While I'm being enthusiastic, I must write about the hedgehog. Krysta and Lee came for dinner... and brought their hedgehog Poppy. I'd had the idea that hedgehogs were bigger, grumpier, and spikier. This hedgie was massively cute. In a tiny way. So tiny that she fit in this container.So massively cute that she curled up in Krysta's hands. It was after dinner, so it was time to go to sleep. I

We're ridiculously pleased to announce the birth of our baby boy. Email me for his name - we'll let him choose the time and place to unveil his name on the internet.Our baby was born on Sunday, May 18, 2008 at noon, weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches.Pictures!

Leaving a triangle at the corner of a photo can be distracting...Unless the whole photo is filled with them!We were taken out for a sail on a wooden boat on Buzzards Bay, just off of Cape Cod. The wooden boat is owned by a friend, and captained by some new friends. Brian and my parents came with. It was a cloudy day, and the wind patterns were all over the place as the air mass shifted to make

Photo shoot on Mother's Day with Caroline and her mom.I got to meet them a couple of years ago when I photographed Caroline at 8 months or so. We went to a park in town and she and her mom played and looked at flowers - and cried (just Caroline) - and then played again. All in all, a really satisfying shoot.A year later, we got to do it again. Same park, but now Caroline was playing on the jungle

State Room, Boston - Out the window with a Lens Baby! St. Patrick's Day, actually. I think the State Room is on the 30th floor or so. And the lensbaby, used with the f/2.8 ring, distorts everything nicely. The photo makes me feel like I'm looking at a teensy model of Boston, but there are enough details so the building feels much more massive simultaneously.Before Harmonie and Matthew's wedding,
