I shot the NJ State Police graduation today in Toms River, NJ. There were the usual speeches etc., but during the moment of silence for those that fell in the line of duty, this one soon-to-be trooper seemed genuinely moved by the moment. I converted the color shot to BW, it just seemed to work better. It was a nice human touch to a rather stern ceremony.
Now, I say "Break in the Action" as the title for this post, as I have a week with only the jobs of the daily newspaper in front of me. A normal 40 hour week may not seem like a break, but the upcoming late summer-fall wedding season is about to break loose. So, yeah this is break time. I have 13 weddings jobs between now and mid-November. These are mostly still photography gigs, but there's a handful of video tossed in to keep it interesting. Oh yeah, that is the first mention of video on here. I do full documentary film style video along side photographer Ann Coen when I'm not shooting stills. I've been told we make a good shooting team. I work a lot of her photos into my final video piece and we stay out of each other's way. You be the judge ... follow the links off the front page for a taste. Stay tuned.
