knocking the winter salt off.
I was finally able to get out with my AD100II's and get them dialed in for some amazing shoots & events coming up! Small, portable and powerful for such a small light!

camera dump from bts at the & from the perspective of a camera operator for broadcast.
(CampSnap camera is a camera that would be similar to a disposable film camera (just not disposable after you use it). You only see what you get once you plus it into your computer).
I try to capture not only the essence of the events at the for the fans in house but also for the fans that can't make it to events. The opportunity that I have, I'm blessed & enjoy it. Sharing the views & experiences of doing a dream job, allows me to show the human factor that contributes to the immense skills that the players, refs, coaches, ice crew, production crew all put into making these event happen!

Here's my Veterans Day Post...
To have walked in the footsteps of the greatest Generation's Veterans, still doesn't feel like I was there. The feelings of being in such a humbling location, I reflected back upon my military career. The plethora of historic/iconic/first of a kind missions/operations/weapon systems/but most of all, the people I worked with made my time the best.

There was no race, creed, or religious differences. We all volunteringly signed the dotted line and committed to the Oath to protect those who were unable to. We did this in such a manner that we became family! The brotherly bond extends generationally.

Every Veterans Affairs facility has the Annual Arts Competition. If you place in the top 3 of a category, your work is sent (via photo) to compete at the national level in Indianapolis, Indiana. There are numerous categories but if you make it, in any form, there's a category for it.

Art is an amazing way for Veterans to channel the things we've seen, did or a apart of. It's a great therapeutic way to help guide our minds & hearts from said things in which only we truly feel & see. Using art as a form of therapy is by far one of the best ways I've made it through the things I have been through. Take that drive, discipline, love, pain and put it towards what you love. Be your own advocate for your well being, health, mental health & therapeutic ways. Ypu know what you need, explain it & fight for it. No one else is going to do it for you.

Stay strong & continue to find your way. The path may not always be black and white, but sometimes when things are out of focus, B&W makes things look better.

Every year, there are such amazing entries. Paintings to the scroll saw work and everything in between were all stunning!

Thank you to the following for the opportunity & locations that im able to share what I see. Sharing it with others who will never have the opportunity to experience these locations. CNY

Peace Amongst the Chaos
Statue of Freedom, US Capitol Building
Washington DC

The 19foot 6inch tall statue on top of our fine Country's Capitol Building. Finished in 1863, right in the middle of the Civil War. Think of the conflict in our Country at that time. E Pluribus Unum, which is inscribed on the base, is not only fitting for during that time, but from the start of our country till now. From many, One. We are ALL Americans who have a socially constructed torment between us for the power of the few whom think they control us, but in reality, work for us! Think for yourself and don't just follow/believe someone because they offer something for free.

"You're not valued by what you're given, you're given value by what you earn!"

Infrared Tree at National American Cemetery, Omaha Beach, Normandy France. 4 June 2024
Nikon D3200, 720nm Near Infrared conversion.
127mm, f/6.3, 1/640sec, ISO200

Over the years of my life, I've always tried to learn how to share the experiences and places I've been given the amazing opportunities to visit. Being able to be on such hallowed ground to pay respects to those whom fought for Freedoms of those in which it was stripped. That sacrifice will never be forgotten. As every Solider that is buried at this cemetery has his own story/life he gave, I tried to show that as each headstone is uniquely different from the next.

In the near infrared spectrum, some things stand out more or have different contrasts from which our eyes see. I framed this shot as I saw the sunspot from the opening in the clouds raking across the freshly cut grass. Once it reached the trees, it was Angelic through the LCD on the back of my camera, as the tree illuminated the top edges of the headstones. Like the names on the other side of the headstones, the patterns make each headstone unique and memorable.

46th Boilermaker 15K
It's great to see things finally coming back to normal after the low numbers from the 'pandemic.'

Central New York State never ceases to impress with how we lead the way witg doing right by our communities and give them a show. The respect we share, is showcased by the examples of extraordinary feats (such as the Boilermaker Afterparty & flyover).

Thank you, Runners, volunteers, fans & family along the course, Commitee members, sponsors, local politicians, police, fire, EMTs, military, and the community for such an amazing weekend.

American history is based on people doing and leading the way, not just by what is written. From George Washington crossing the Delaware to present day, during military operations, the American Flag is flown on the shoulders of those on the ground/tail flash of air and space craft/over ships & usually on persons during clandestine operations.
This Flag is my American and military history. It started off flying on a U-2 in the Republic of Korea, then it traveled with me around the World & flew on almost every aircraft I worked with. F-15E, F-15C, C-17, C-130, MQ-1B, Blackhawk, KC-135, CV-22, EA-6B, F-18, A-10, F-16. It's been flown over Camp Cropper Prison, it's been used for Reenlistments and has been to places where I forgot to fly it (unfortunately), it's been to the Queen of England's Birthday Parade (2007).
During the 80th Anniversary of D-Day, I brought my Flag with me. I'm honored & the Flag respected to be flown in what was a N**i gun turret at Point Du Hoc, by a Brother, Mentor, Leader, Innovator, Operator, Father, Husband and all around a decent human being. Working with Fran has reopened by eyes to how great the World is and its leaders developing leaders! Thank you for flying Old Glory over the victory of a symbol of a regime of socialist tyranny.
