This is Allen. He worked at the Maine Media Workshops as the Digital Service Bureau Manager and we shared an office space. We also were roommates at the cabin. He’s a cool cat and possibly the best photo printing ninja I’ve met. He now assists for John Paul Caponigro. He is one of my best...

Dave at Union Hall
I was playing with a tilt-shift lens awhile back and shot these two pics of my coworker from The Maine Media Workshops, Dave. It was really tough because I had to use a shutter speed of 1.6 seconds (which is a long time!), camera balanced on my knee, adjusting focus and composition by trial and...
Leaving Maine
I moved to Maine in April of 2008 to work as the IT Manager of the Maine Media Workshops during the 2008 workshop season. It was a 6 month gig that had me running the three digital photo labs and managing the networks on campus. I also was the primary troubleshooter for most computer problems....
Thanksgiving 2008
Thanksgiving 2008 is the second thanksgiving in a row that I haven’t spent with my family and the second in a row that I haven’t had turkey. I spent Thanksgiving 2007 in Mexico.

The tilt shift lens is very tricky to use. For the non-photographers out there:...

She also happens to be a photographer and wanted to take some portraits of her classmates. She asked me to help her with the...
Inside the Green Berets; a viewing with the DP
Tonight I ran the show for a presentation of a film called Inside the Green Berets, produced by National Geographic. This was probably my favorite film viewing since I’ve been in Maine. The reason for the viewing is that Ryan, the director of photography, used to work here at the Maine Media Workshops as an...

Below are a few highlights… but I encourage looking at the...
