Manatees...

Well, it has been awhile since I have been posting regularly, but now that I am working back to good health and good spirits I am going to work on posting up more photos that have been cataloged and also new ones as I take them. Here are three photos taken of Manatees at a Manatee viewing center just south of Tampa run by the Tampa Electric Company. They also have a web cam if you'd like to check these guys out. Here's the link:

Thanks for checking out the blog. I hope to keep adding more posts with the intent of improving the quality of everything herein. I'm working on getting out and taking new photos with the D300 and also on working with what I have already taken to share some more travel photos and stories. Enjoy!

Marist versus Iona

Here are a few pictures from the game.

Marist beats Iona in Final Seconds....

Here are a few pictures from the end of friday night's Marist vs. Iona game. Marist won 51-50 after being behind 4 with 26 seconds left. Here's a couple shots from the last few moments. Goodwin made the winning field goal with about 4 seconds to go.

Thanksgiving in Tampa...

Well, I haven't posted in over a week. I've been on break from school in Tampa. Here are a few pix from Tampa. They're actually from last year, but I should have some coming from this break as soon as possible which could be a little while...

Edinburgh from Arthur's Seat

After finishing up Freshman year of college I went on a 10-day trip to Paris, London & Edinburgh. Edinburgh was the final city we visited and the most fun thing that we did was climb Arthur's seat, twice. Arthur's Seat is a mountain in the middle of Edinburgh and provides great views of the city and the sea. Here's my first picture from that trip...

Marist Men's Opener

Here are the first shots from the home opener versus Saint Bonaventure.

Basketball Opening Weekend...

Over the last few days I got my chance to shoot basketball for the first time. I shot the Marist Men's and Women's home openers Sunday and Monday nights. I have a ton of photos to go through and I'm also pretty busy with school work. For now, I'm just going to throw up some unedited photos of a dunk that I got during the first half of the Men's game versus Saint Bonaventure. It was overall an ugly affair and an ugly loss for the young team, but I was excited to get the chance to NCAA basketball. Here's the dunk, off the D300 unedited.

Recreating Masterpieces...

On my last visit to the Louvre I saw something I had never seen before. Contemporary artists painting copies of works in the Louvre. Here are two shots I got, more to come in this vein. Enjoy.

Eiffel by Night

Paris... quite probably my favorite city in Europe. I've been there three times and I'd go back anytime. On my last trip the first night I got there we got some food and a bottle of wine and sat beneath the Eiffel Tower watching the lights dance across it's surface and illuminate the "City of Light". Enjoy...

View from the Top

Ahh, Firenze... how I miss thee. Here's a couple shots from the top of the Duomo I took in May. Enjoy.

Irish Countryside...

Here are a few pictures from the Irish countryside in County Wicklow.

End of Istanbul

I'll end Istanbul with one of my favorite things. The Turkish tea which they drink constantly in strong, small servings. Very, very good. Also, there were flags everywhere hanging from buildings. That's it from Istanbul for now. Enjoy.

Istanbul...

More Istanbul...

Istanbul...

Well, here are a variety of random shots from Istanbul. This is from the very beginning of my shooting days before things like RAW and CS3. I did use a few artistic liberties with some of these in post-production. Enjoy...
