As I said in the last post, we have been working very hard on getting our new blog/site and everything up and looking awesome. We have 3 engagement sessions that we will be sharing with you once our new blog/site is up. In the meantime, I thought we would share a few random photos from Vegas.
Today we decided to take a day trip out to Sedona to get away from all the craziness of the conference and enjoy the only really warm day of our trip. It was really wonderful to get to experience a completely different landscape than what we are used to at home. The mountains and valleys as well as the red rocks were simply beautiful and in most cases breathtaking. We spent a lot of time just shooting for ourselves and trying to take it all in.
Here are just some of the many photos that Kathleen and I took today.
As some of you already know from following us on Twitter, we are in Phoenix for the ImagingUSA Conference put on by PPA. We will however have plenty of access to e-mail so if you need anything please do not hesitate to let us know. We thought we would share just a few photos with you. Hope everyone back home is having a great weekend, we hear it is quite snowy. Stay warm and we will talk to you all soon!!
By the way if anyone that we don’t already know of is also out here, please let us know. We would love to meet up!!
To celebrate the New Year, we decided to post a video from our best New Year’s Eve ever.
Dublin, December 31, 2005
We arrived in Ireland a couple of days after Christmas. For the first couple of days we explored the city. In our explorations we discovered a very cool pub. It was a three-story building along one of the cobblestone streets in the Temple Bar area of Dublin. On the first floor was a traditional bar, similar to one you’d find in New York or Boston, with a cover band playing a lot of American hits. The second floor was an adorable restaurant serving that felt like the kind of place you’d find in a country inn. The top floor was our favorite – it was a true Irish pub filled with locals and a traditional Irish band. As soon as we discovered this place we knew it was where we wanted to celebrate the New Year.
New Year’s Eve day we had dinner at the restaurant on the second floor, surrounded by people from all over Europe. It was such a cool experience – the couple next to us was from France, the group to the other side of us were from Australia. Walking through the tables you could hear several different languages being spoken but there was one common thread, everyone seemed so happy. After dinner we headed upstairs to the pub to celebrate for the couple of hours till the New Year. The band was in full force and the room was packed – so much so the floor was bouncing. Rob and I looked at each other almost in disbelief that we had found such a cool place to be for the last few hours of 2005. After hours of classic Irish songs, the band leader let us know midnight was just a few minutes away. To mark the moment, he pulled out a poem by William Butler Yeats, “The Fiddler of Dooney,” and read it to the crowd. Definitely a once in a lifetime expereince – where else in the world could you hear a poem read in a bar before the New Year? I have to say hearing them play Auld Lang Syne and giving Rob a big kiss at midnight, I think we both knew 2006 was going to be a great year. And it was.
While we were in NYC for the PDN Expo a couple weeks back, Kathleen an I spent the day with some fellow CT Photographers also in the city for the expo. Here is some of the craziness from that day!!
Last Thursday Kathleen and I met up with a bunch of fellow photographers at the W Hotel in Times Square. It was a great time, we got to meet some really great new people and hang out with some of the west coast photographers of came out such as [b]ecker, David Jay and Gene Higa. The Bui Brothers were also there, what a fun night!
Check back in a day or so when we will be posting the sweet engagement session that we did with Sarah & Scott while we were in the city. Also for all of you CT PUG people that we hung out with on Friday (you know who you are) we will be posting some of those crazy pics soon!!
Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know that Kathleen and I are in the city until Friday night. We are staying with our awesome friends (and loyal blog stalkers), Andrea & Christina at their apartment, which totally beats a hotel! Today we are off to photograph an engagement session and then tomorrow we are going to PDN PhotoPlus Expo. Hope to meet up with a bunch of photographers so leave a comment or shoot us an e-mail if you are going to be there. We are also going to catch up with [b]ecker and some fellow [b] School Members tomorrow night and then our CT Pug Group on Friday.
Check back soon, we will try to get a couple previews up. We will also have some previews from Deb & Tim’s Wedding as well as Marissa & Donald’s Engagement Session up soon so keep checking :).
Hope everyone is having a great week!!
