The Awbury Arboretum has a tent, which is good because it rained all day and tents are waterproof…

…they also have a waterproof house, The Francis Cope House, which is essentially a large, organized pile of Wissahickon schist (in other words, it is made of stone).

2012 – personal reflection + a collection of my favorite work

self portrait with Mamiya 645 Pro captured on Tri-X and self developed

Up to Now

2012 has indeed been exciting. I’ve spent much time this year redefining my artistic vision, exploring a vast array of different topics of study in the sciences as well as the arts, self-developing over thirty rolls of film, and in the latter part of the year, deciding how to begin to add high quality cinematography services to the package lineup.

On August 18, we had the opportunity to photograph the beautiful wedding of Matt and Sarah in the town of Franklin, Pennsylvania. While there, I fell in love with the look of town and long to go back someday! We were blessed with absolutely perfect weather: blue skies, fair weather clouds, and 72 degrees!

Here is another teaser from their big day! More to come!
