Happy Easter to all my friends and fans! Finally had a chance to shoot at this local photo spot in Ocean City, NJ. There really wasn't much color that morning; but at least there where some nice clouds...

Happy Easter! - Ed

Another from my recent visit to Longwood...

Have a great day! - Ed

172 / 365 Blue Eye

Had the good fortune to spend a few hours shooting and talking shop at Longwood with photo bud Ed Heaton the other day. Managed to get a few keepers and learned a few things as well. That's a successful outing in my book...

Have a great day! - Ed

Our local firehouse turned out in force to check out a fire alarm in an empty house that has been for sale for a while. Thank God there were no issues and everything is safe and sound...

Have a great day! - Ed

170 / 365 False Alarm

A little excitement on our street tonight... Luckily a false alarm at a house that has been empty and for sale for a while. Thankfully we have a really good bunch volunteers right around the corner...

Have a great day! - Ed

169 / 365 Through The Woods...

There has been a lack of snow this Winter; which has made for less than ideal conditions for shooting Winter scenes and landscapes. Luckily; we received a heavy dusting early this morning that provide the opportunity to get at least a little shooting in before the conditions started to change.

Have a great day! - Ed

168 / 365 Winter Peace

A little before sunrise from one of the docks on the island at Marsh Creek. This was a long exposure image that I converted to B&W... It wasn't very windy, as you can see the clouds didn't really move all that much through the image...

Have a great day! - Ed

167 / 365 Post Storm Sunrise

The clouds looked a lot more impressive from the warm window in my living room this morning before I headed out to Marsh Creek. Yes, it was cold. Yes, I didn't stay out very long. And yes, I am very happy to have the opportunity to witness and share this beautiful sunrise with all of you.

Have a great day! - Ed

Must have missed this one from the zoo trip...

Have a great day! - Ed

165 / 365 Taking A Break

Elise and Madison find a quiet out of the way spot to sit for a few minutes...

Have a great day! - Ed

164 / 365 What Kitty?

Probably one of my favorites from the days images... this just goes to show that what's important or impressive to one may not be to another.While I stand there trying to get good shots of the cheetah as it moves around it's enclosure; the girls are more interested in taking pictures of each other with an iPhone, completely ignoring the big cat as it moves behind them.

Have a Safe and Happy New Years! - Ed

163 / 365 Here Kitty Kitty...

I had a feeling that I was being eyed up as a super sized meal...

Have a great day! - Ed

162 / 365 Angry Kitty

One of the three Cheetahs that currently call the Philadelphia Zoo home... This one was the first out as we seemed to have disturbed it when we stopped at their exhibit. Eventually all three came out to see all the two legged food watching them...

Have a great day! - Ed

160 / 365 Ashley & The Otter

Here is our friend's youngest, Ashley... finding out that the otters like to follow the feather as she moves it over the glass.

Have a great day! - Ed

159 / 365 Having Fun...

For me today wasn't about photography; it was about enjoying time with my family and good friends. We went to the Philadelphia Zoo with friends that we have known for many years and their two daughters; Madison and Ashley. Madison is a year older than Elise and when they are together they always have a good time. In this image the girls had gotten a little ahead of us and were racing back after we'd yelled to them.
I wanted to capture some memories today rather make good photographs. I always try to take technically sound images; but I wasn't worrying too hard about my settings(which is usually something I'm a little more uptight about LOL). The result? Going through the images I shot today, I doubt there are any that are award winners; there are however several that will help preserve the memories from a great day spent out with my family and our friends and our children. Once the new year starts, its going to be nice to be able to think about this day when work and life start to get a little hectic...

Have a great day! - Ed

158 / 365 Happy

There are actually 3 happy people in this image... My wife Christine, Elise, and me...

A photographer is in every image he or she creates...

Have a great day! - Ed

157 / 365 My Girls

Taken this morning... Here are my two favorite girls in the whole world having some fun after we arrived at the zoo for a day after Christmas visit.

Happy Holidays! - Ed

156 / 365 Christmas Morning 2011

And for me; this is what its all about... Elise pausing for a quick picture during her gift opening. Seeing her smile and get excited over what Santa left for her, just feels like the rightest thing in the world.

Merry Christmas! - Ed
