Congratulations to Crystal and Phil Gill, (Phil is the publisher of the Business Card book http://www.gillsbcb.com/ and knows everyone) they had a wonderful ceremony at St. Clare's on Nelson Ave in S.I.  We all were treated to a phenomenal experience at the Westwood Catering Hall in Garwood N.J. The staff there did a fabulous job which exceeded my expectations and as a photographer looking back I must say that the Maitre'D Joe was among the best I worked with in years.  He offered to help me in every way possible and if he was so concerned with an outside photographer from New York it does not surprise me at all that they were voted one of the top ten caterers by http://www.njbiz.com/

Goulet's Part 2



Fun with the Goulet's Part 1

We had the pleasure of photographing two amazing people/friends in our lives. Dan and Sue Goulet were expecting their first child (baby girl) and I just couldn't wait to see to see who she would look like. She was due December 18th but like any other girl she was very stubborn and decided to enter into this world on December 31st. Here are a few pictures of the Goulet's pre baby. Enjoy!!!!

WHEN FILM WAS KING...
My first cameras were a Instamatic, (around the forth grade) Polaroid swinger (around the fifth and sixth grade) and my fathers Exacta w/ a waist level viewer when ever I could borrow it. In 1973 a friend sold me his Minolta 101 with 3 lenses and when that broke my Dad brought me a Nikomat EL w/ 50 mm 1.4 lens. ( That started my long love affair with Nikon Cameras )  April 1, 1977 I brought myself a Lecia CL (the year they discontinued that model ) and I started my 10 year self assignment " The Etching Room"

For events and professional portraits I worked with Hasselblads and when I finally turned to digital toyed with Nikons but eventually went Canon all the way.

Cipriani Wall Street stands as a triumph of Greek revival architecture, as well as a grand and luxurious venue for events. This New York landmark served as the home of the New York Merchants Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the United States Customs House, and the headquarters of the National City Bank. Framed by monolithic columns, Cipriani Wall Street features a 70-foot ceiling with a Wedgewood dome. Impeccable attention to detail, the finest cuisine and classic service sets the stage for the most sought after social experiences.
