Boston Red Sox Victory Parade - 2007 World Series Champions

I took my son to the victory parade for the Red Sox yesterday right in front of my work on Boylston Street in Boston. Here is a shot of Manny Ramirez and "Big Papi" David Ortiz. I have about 180 shots of the parade on my website.

Congratulations to the 2007 World Series Champion Boston Red Sox. Now all we have to do is resign Mike Lowell! I think Curt knows he's not going to be playing for the Red Sox already.

My favorite images - 500 Boylston Street, Boston

This is a different look than you get from most shots of this building. This is under the main arch out in front. Looking almost straight up. I chose this shot today as it's not far from Fenway Park where the Boston Red Sox are leading the Colorado Rockies two games to none in the 2007 World Series.

The Zipper - Favorite Image

This is a night shot, one of my first shots shooting long exposures. This is the Zipper ride at the 2007 Hillsborough Hot Air Balloon Festival in Hillsborough, NH.

This was about a 6 second exposure at f/22, ISO 200 using the Nikon D50 and the 18-55 DX II Nikkor lens. I really like how this turned out I like the texture to the orange and red neon of the ride intertwining.

Thanks for looking!

My favorite images - Butterfly

Another one of my favorite images. This one is a butterfly feeding on nectar. I do not own a true macro lens, this was taken with the Nikkor 70-300mm VR lens at York's Wild Animal Kingdom in York, Maine.

My Favorite Jet - F/A-22 Raptor

Ok so here are a couple of shots of my favorite jet on the planet. This is the Lockheed|Martin F/A-22 Raptor. This is "THE" next generation warplane. It's super sleek lines and it's invisibility to radar makes it one sexy bird.

These shots were taken at the 2007 Rhode Island - Air National Guard Open House and Air Show at Quonset Point, Rhode Island.

My first sale

This was the first image that I sold from my website. It was taken at the Pittsfield Balloon Festival in Pittsfield, NH. I woke up that morning at 3:30AM to make sure I was in a good spot for taking pictures for a 6AM mass ascension.

This was only my second balloon festival and it was a great event put on by the Pittsfield Rotary.

This image was taken at York's Wild Animal Kingdom in York, ME.

I love the way this little monkey, I'm not even sure what kind of primate it is, is staring intently at something.
