I’ll be at the White Plains Outdoor Art Festival tomorrow, May 30th and Sunday June 1st. This will be my second year at this show, and I’m looking forward to returning to this dynamic city. It takes place in a Tibbits Park in the busy downtown district of White Plains, which makes it a challenge to setup since there is a limited amount of time that cars are allowed to park on the street. Getting everything out of the trailer and setup in the right order is something I’ve learned through trial and error, but it’s fairly routine now.
Preparation is key and I always have everything ready to go days in advance. Of course, I’m usually up the night before making last minute prints, or matting and framing ones that I want to debut or exhibit in a different size. Keeping supplies in stock, such as paper, inks, mats, frames, notecards, and various other materials is always a challenge, but my assistant (and wife) does a great job of keeping everything organized. She truly is my biggest supporter and best friend.
I’ll have a show report on Monday …
I also spent some time down at Constitution Marsh Sanctuary last week, and was able to complete a new 360 panorama which you can view here. This was one of the most challenging panos I’ve attempted because of the constantly changing cloud formations that day, but the result really captures one of the most dramatic skies I’ve seen on the Hudson. Let em know what you think…

Just want to thank everyone who visited my booth during the long Memorial Day weekend at the New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair and a very special thanks to those who purchased prints and notecards. Thanks also to the show promoters Quail Hollow Events, who do a great job for all of the exhibitors. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone who recognized many of my favorite landscape locations, as well as chatting with those of you who are interested in taking a workshop to improve your photography and technology skills. I will have a whole range of workshop offerings on the webite very soon, and will email everyone who signed up to notify them of the classes.
I’m especially excited to have sold a custom size 60″ wide panorama of “Storm Clouds Over Mohonk” in the ColorBox mounting and I will be delivering and installing this print personally. I have never printed an image this large, so it should look really amazing and I will have photos and more info when I finally have it printed and installed over the customer’s fireplace.
The next show is this coming weekend at the White Plains Outdoor Art Festival, a great location in downtown White Plains that I always enjoy visiting. More info in a few days…
PS- This is my 100th post – and I thought I would never get past five…thanks for reading!

The spring edition of the New Paltz Art and Crafts Fair begins tomorrow for the long Memorial Day weekend, and I spent the morning today preparing my booth and getting ready for the usual large crowds expected. Located at the Ulster County Fairgrounds, it is one of easiest shows for setting up, with a very relaxed environment and the beautiful scenery of the Shawangunk Mountains in the background. The weather looks to be fantastic, and the show promoters always do a good job promoting the event, so I’m looking forward to an enjoyable weekend. No doubt a three day show is hard work, and I’m generally exhausted at the end of each day, but I wouldn’t trade it for any other job in the world.
