Acquired by New York State in 1961, Caumsett State Historic Park's extensive forests, meadows, and waterways provide habitats for a variety of flora and fauna. The diversity of the park's environment and its limited access to vehicles make it one of Long Island's best places for relaxation and enjoyment of nature. For a small gallery, please CLICK HERE.
For 109-years, the New York International Auto Show has ignited the passion and stirred the soul of car lovers with its futuristic concept cars and new vehicles and this year was no exception. Every new car on the market under one roof, in one day, without any pressure to buy. Whether you're looking for a small car that makes a big impression, something fun, fast and frugal, or you want to get plugged into a hybrid or electric vehicle there is no better place to research your next car, crossover, minivan, SUV, or truck. This was my first time attending this show and I was very lucky to obtain access to a VIP pre-opening tour, given by award-winning automotive expert and Car and Driver contributing editor, Alan Taylor.

Having not been to Washington, DC since I was a kid, I jumped at the opportunity to shoot the city with photographer Ed Heaton and some of his very good friends. Washington is always a treasure trove of photo-ops, but few times of the year bring out the true beauty of the city better than during the annual Cherry Blossom Festival. This was also the first time I shot at night and I really enjoyed the experience and the different look it gives the city. The weather was a little dicey and it cut short the time I had to shoot here. I will definitely return to expand on what was only a slight skimming of the locations and images that are waiting to be photographed. For a short slideshow, please CLICK HERE.
As always, attending a Tony Sweet workshop is an awesome experience. This particular group of attendees was extremely talented and a joy to work with. The Charleston area is truly one of the most beautiful and unique places this country has to offer and the photographic opportunities are numerous and diverse. We shot at four very different locations; Cypress Gardens, Folly Beach, Magnolia Gardens and a genuine confederate cemetery. Charleston is a place that I hope to return to many times in my life. Tony and Susan have been coming here for a number of years and I was amazed at their continued and unbridled enthusiasm for this place. I get it, now !!
