This morning, the Seymour Fire Dept. was called to the scene of a reported truck rollover on Rt. 8. One of the benefits of being a firefighter, is once the hazards have been mitigated, I have access to a scene that is not normally allowed to photographers.
Today, once we cleared the scene, I tweeted the photos (follow me @203com). NBC CT asked for rights to use the photos for credit, and I obliged. Click here to watch the video. Below are the photos, all shot on my iPhone.

Great season guys! Sorry for the delay…I tried to get all of the kids, hope I did!

I love March! Although I’m only half Irish, the festivities in March make it the greatest month of the year, in my humble opinion. We’re coming out of winter into spring, we have the St Patricks Day Parade in New Haven to look forward to marching in, and for the second year in a row, we get to shoot the Dropkick Murphys Show.

Last year, we had the pleasure of shooting the Dropkick Murphys at Oakdale (see pics here), what a show….we vowed that it would become part of the March tradition!

So this year, we headed into NYC to shoot them along with Against Me at the Roseland Ballroom in Manhattan. It was an awesome show at a great venue. And so starts the 17 days of St Patty’s 2011.

Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig

Last week we shot pictures with Santa for St. Marks Parish/School in Stratford for the second year. The pictures are available for purchase by clicking here

This year we had the pleasure of shooting the Park City Regatta, and although we had never shot from a moving boat before, we found it to be an exhilarating new perspective on shooting sports. The water was a bit choppy making it necessary to shoot fairly fast (1/500th of a second). The Fayerweather Yacht Club was kind enough to provide us with a boat to go out and do a test run on during their normal Wednesday night races.

The nice thing about the summer night races is that you can capture much more dynamically lit images with the sun going down, in contrast to the Regatta which was held at noon, with the sun directly overhead. These pictures are products of that Wednesday night race, and the 2010 Park City Regatta. They are all available for purchase simply by clicking the photo, or click here to view the galleries.

We will also have Sailing Calendars available within the next couple of weeks that will feature the races and the regatta in Long Island Sound. In our continuing efforts to support Swim Across the Sound, we have partnered with Barbara and John Hannan of Send Out Cards, and members of and a member of the Housatonic Boat Club to sell these calendars and donate a percentage of the proceeds directly to Swim Across the Sound.  If you’re interested in purchasing one, or twenty, please click here.

If you have race, Regatta, or event next year, please feel free to contact us regarding including us in your plans. We are more than willing to work with your club or organization to help you raise funds through photography of your members in action. Click here to drop us an email.

This weekend we had the pleasure to shoot with Bradey. This girl is definitely a natural, and has a great modeling career ahead of her. We were trying to figure out where to shoot, and we ended up using the Stratford Green. Turned out to be a perfect backdrop, although; I think our next shoot with Bradey will be in a more “urban” environment. We shot almost exclusively with one off camera flash on a boom, and the 70-200 2.8L. I seriously love that lens! Anyway turned out to be a great day, and I couldn’t have asked for a better model. I can’t wait to work with her again!
