Pennsylvania Digital Photographer Specializing in professional portrait, landscape, wedding, aerial, bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, fashion, commerical architectural, fine art, floral and journalistic photography. The goal: to create long-lasting vivid and colorful memories, captured photographically for people coming together, from far and near, to celebrate a truly special event. Located in Clarks Summit, Lackawanna County Pennsylvania, I travel all over the continental United States capturing images, both for business and for pleasure. Many of my business and commercial images are used in the graphic design of advertising brochures for industry, retail, wholesale and non-profit organizations and establishments. I use mainly Canon Digital cameras, EOS 300D and the new Canon 20D, but I use a variety of lenses from diferent manufacturers including Sigma and Tamron. Ny favorite lenses are the Tamron sp af 28-75mm f2.8 xr di ld asph, and the canon ef 50mm f/1.4 usm. Also I use a wide variety of circular UV and polarizing filters with much of my work, especially when doing landscapes and architectural photography when the sun is out burning bright. On the photo editing end, my main work horse is Adobe Photoshop 8.0 as part of the Adobe CS Suite of publishing tools. I have become particularly fond of the new shadow/highlight tool which helps me to reveal objects that appeared to be in totally dark areas. In the photo above, I used the shadow / highlight tool to reveal the light spaces on the front porch. This tool is also quite useful in producing and composing portrait work when the main subject does not contrast well with a dark background. Use of the shadow / highlight tool in conjunction with the fade tool in the edit menu is a powerful way to tweak photos into perfection. It allows the photographer to have perfect exposure. And of course, we should not forget the hue / saturation tool which can act as a polarizing filter. I especially like to use the hue saturation tool when editing photos taken with slow shutter speed and small apertures f/11 thru f/22. The greatest thing a critic can say to me about my work is not that it is spot on, not that the exposure was perfect or the focus extremely sharp, not that the compositoin was flawless or that my work adhered to the rule of thirds, but that the photo made them smile or made them feel good....that they liked the colors and it made their eyes to pop. now you can find from time to time on photosig or pbase, or sometimes you will see perusing through the new york times or the wall street journal or the washington post.
