holiday weekend...

I hope everyone had a great holiday this past week. It was a nice long weekend with crazy temperature swings!!

I had an outdoor portrait session on Friday. Below are some of my favorites. It was a little chilly outside but everyone did great and we had a nice time.

And for everyone that went shopping this weekend....I hope you all lived to tell about it. I went by a few stores like Best Buy and Circuit City with lines out the door. Crazy stuff. The things you do for a 36" flat screen T.V., or a portable DVD player, or a new computer or...well, you get the idea!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!!

Enjoy the day...don't eat too much!!

Redbox...

So lately I've been fascinated with 'Redbox'. For those that don't know, this is the dvd rental machines that they have at places such as Stop & Shop, Shaw's, etc... It gets its name because its, well....a big Red Box.

Its the easiest way to rent a dvd ever and it only costs a buck! Just one dollar. Compare that with $4.50 for Tommy K's or Blockbuster! They hold hundreds of dvds; new releases and all. Plus its extremely convenient to grab a movie after picking up stuff to make dinner any night.

So the next time you see the big Red Box, check it out!

vacation images part 2....

Due to the prompting of my buddy Ben Chrisman, here are a few more pics from our vacation last week.
There's a few from Cayman and some of the hotel we stayed at in Florida.
Hope you like 'em.

Home Sweet Home...

We finally got back home from vacation this past week and are slowly trying to get acclimated back to the cold New England weather. The day we flew home was 83 degrees in Florida and when we stepped off the plane here, it was into 44 degrees of cold, wet New England weather. All in all though, its always nice to come home.

The day we flew down was raining pretty hard, and I always love flying in the rain because once you take off and pop above the clouds, the sun is shining and everything looks amazing. I took a lot of pictures of the clouds and below are some of my favorites.

The Caribbean was awesome; We started in Key West, then Grand Cayman, Cozumel and finally the Bahamas. It was nice to see my best friend Kyle who works, sings, eats and sleeps on the ship and has been for the past 9 months. There is a picture of us below in Key West.

Anyone that has ever been on a cruise before knows how good the food is. You can order as much as you want!!!! I ordered two dinners every night and one of each dessert as well. Talk about stuffed!!

I'll be returning emails/calls over the next few days. Good to be home. Talk to you all soon!!!!

vacation...

My wife and I are off to Florida and the Caribbean for the rest of this month and the first week of November to celebrate our first anniversary. I can easily say this has been the best year of my life; she is the most amazing woman ever and I couldn't be any happier or luckier.

Its been a crazy and busy summer and I'm looking forward to some beach time and relaxation. I am also stoked to see my best friend Kyle who has been on the cruise ship for the past 9 months acting/singing/performing. More like my brother, I can't wait to see him. Oh, the stories we could tell from our old 'band days'.

I'll be returning all calls/emails when we get back, and I'll be sure to post some images when we return.

Until then, be well and enjoy the Autumn air for me...

Breaking news on Tico Torres...

I met with Jimnah and Chet this afternoon to deliver a wedding DVD and go over post wedding stuff with them and had a great talk. Truly good people and I am delighted to know them and have been able to shoot their wedding. Looking forward to having them down for dinner in lovely old Wallingford soon.

An interesting update on the Tico Torres bit first reported on after Jimnah and Chet's wedding... It seems that the guy who I was referring to, does in fact seem to know and be friends/neighbors with Bon Jovi's drummer in Florida. I do apologize to 'Uncle Louie' for the razzing I sent his way two blog posts ago. But, come on I've heard bigger stories than that at a wedding, so one can only wonder!!

However, I do plan on bringing all 75 of those guests to his house for Thanksgiving whom he invited from the wedding. We'll be flying down on Southwest airlines (Chet's favorite) for turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Hope Uncle Louie and Florida are ready for all of us!!!

On a more serious note though Uncle Louie...how about an autographed picture from Tico himself to prove the matter once and for all??!! What do you think??

'To Gregg at Oceanview Photography '
'From Tico Torres'

That would look great on my wall!!

But I think I need some help to convince Uncle Louie...So leave a comment on this post below and lets try to persuade him! I appreciate it!!

And Uncle Louie...I love you buddy!!!
