Back to School – Part 1

Today was the first day of school for most kids in the Syracuse area, as it was for my two oldest daughters. I was fortunate enough to have had my backdrop and lighting already set up, so figured a quick couple shots before heading out to the school was in order. The requisite shots in

Tokina SD 16-28 F2.8 (IF) FX

MAN, I love this lens! Its DX counterpart was pretty much my go-to lens, particularly for the car photography. So when it came time to go to a full-frame camera, this just had to be in my bag. Can’t wait to get out there and stretch it out. In the meantime, my 6-year-old helped me

First Real Snowfall

Central New York got hit with our first real snowfall of the season. I think we had roughly 4 or 5 inches of fluffy white snow in our yard. My girls couldn’t wait to get out and play in it. Although it’s cold, slippery, and not fun to clear from the driveway and sidewalk, these
