Layers

I am a sucker for layers. Once I see something unfolding that has the potential for a layered photo I get sucked up into it. These are just a few examples of layered photos I've been shooting. Cheers.

The Hunt

I recently did my Traditions column on a group of guys who have been hunting together for nearly 25 years. I had never been on an actual hunt before besides shooting at squirrels with a BB gun when I was younger. Being an impatient person at times, the idea of being decked out in orange and creeping through the woods was something that I had never seen the huge appeal for. After a couple of hours I saw why these guys do it. Hanging out with your buddies and laughing with the thought of shooting a deer at the back of your mind. I saw two doe during our time in the forest. It was crazy. I can't count how many times I've seen a deer from my car and thought nothing of it but when we saw those deer I had goosebumps. They couldn't shoot does. Even though they didn't get any deer the day was a success. There are more photos in a gallery on the Concord Monitor's site if you would like to see more.

Farnum Hill Cider

I shot a day in the life story on an apple orchard here in New Hampshire that also makes hard cider for National Public Radio. I think the story turned out well. Here are some of the photos but there are more on NPR's site along with the story by Avishay Artsy. Check it out!

Hip Surgery

I shot a hip surgery a couple of weeks ago and it was cool and disgusting at the same time. The blood and wound didn't bother me at all but the noises did. The drilling, dislocating, the shifting, the breaking, and other sounds of the like. It was gross. It was a good experience none the less. The episode of Seinfeld where a Junior Mint is dropped in during the surgery constantly popped in my head throughout the surgery.
