Leather Craftsmen Wedding Albums

They just don’t make things the way they used to, unless you’re talking about Leather Craftsmen wedding albums.   I’m a big fan of LC.  I love their quality, the look and construction of their books, and the classic, beautiful selection of cover materials.  Based in New York State, LC uses the same high quality materials...

Shot as a...

I was along for the ride as the girls shopped vintage clothes on our way to the Jazz Fest.

The drive from the west end of Panama City Beach was really quick with the relatively new four-lane blacktop and October traffic.  It was only 20 minutes to Grayton Beach and another 20...

I traveled to Gainesville, Florida, my birthplace and epicenter of the Gator Nation, to document Scott and Amanda’s wedding.  I had a great time and enjoyed the opportunity to have fellowship with Amanda, Scott, and their guests.  And I was honored to serve as their photographer and tell the story of their day.

Lasagne with Asparagus

I love to eat!  And hearty Italian is one of my favorite.  I had one of my best meals at Lupa in NYC, which is one of Mario Batali’s Italian restaurants.
I made some Lasagne the other day from a recipe in a Mario Batali cookbook.  I even made the pasta dough myself, which was a...
