We finally setup the show yesterday and had a great opening reception with live music, great food and wine. I got a chance to show and discuss my work with a few executives and lots of very interested and supportive employees. Many thanks to Mariana from ArtVue Inc for making this happen in a very professional and high quality manner. It was great to meet Chip Forelli as well, and his black and white photography was both inspiring and impressive.

Bubble Pond Light, Acadia
I will be one of two photographers featured in a new exhibition opening tomorrow at the Bayer Healthcare Corporate offices in Montville and Wayne, New Jersey. Titled “Serenity” and sponsored by ArtVue Inc., it will include 23 large framed color prints by yours truly, and 23 prints by black and white photographer Chip Forelli. The show will be on display for 3 months, and you can view the curators statement here. The image above was chosen for all of the promotional materials, and it’s one I’m very fond of.
This exhibition was in the making for 3 months, and I’m really excited about the opening and the opportunity to display my work in a new setting, and answering questions about my love and passion for landscape photography.

“Silent Trees” was photographed recently on a local hike in Dennings Point, a peninsula on the Hudson River.
There are many types of landscape photographs, encompassing the wide range of subjects available at any given location. I’m partial to the â€grand vista“ where a wide angle lens allows for great depth and the eye is lead from near to far, traveling over the many details like a symphony building to a grand crescendo. I certainly enjoy them the most, and I think they represent our natural way of seeing the world around us.
However, the â€intimate landscape“ or the extraction of a greater scene is one that I have always found challenging, yet rewarding in many different ways. This image is one that I immediately visualized while finishing a photo shoot that had not been particularly productive. It happened so quickly that had I not been ready, I would have probably missed the warm subdued light that gave the branches their wonderful texture and dimensionality. You never know what you’ll come across if you allow yourself to see – another reason I never put my camera away until I’m back home.
