Master Lighter - Dave Quinn with El Ten Eleven

Turns out Dave Quinn is a lighting design master. He has taken his show on the road with El Ten Eleven, and I was lucky enough to catch up with the tour at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. Incredible set by an incredible group of guys, thanks for having me.

Start up Portland - The Top Gun Showcase

The start up community here in Portland is strong and getting stronger. Much respect for all those blazing their own trails.

Below is a link to an article on Nerdwallet that speaks to entrepreneurs in Portland, and a 'pitch competition' I photographed last month.  The Top Gun Showcase is organized by Maine Center for Entrepreneurial Development and took place June 3rd in Hannaford Hall on the USM campus. Congratulations to Rapport for the big win!

A Day Like Today - Wolfe's Neck Engagement Sesh with Allison & Andrew

This was just one of those days; like today. Bluebird skies with nary a cloud in sight, upper 70s, light sea breeze. Strong rain storms the night before had flushed particulates out of the air leaving behind zero humidity, and infinite visibility with a particular sharpness.

WinterKids 'It's a Wrap' Party at The Rack in Sugarloaf

WinterKids end of year party was a blast and a success. With both silent and live auctions, all manner of items were up for bid, including rounds of golf, Red Sox Skis, and a Winterstick snowboard. For the throngs of snow enthusiasts descending on The Rack last Saturday, the highlight of the night was almost certainly the opportunity for kiddos (and adults) to meet and hang out with Olympian and two time gold medalist in the snowboard cross, Seth Wescott.

I've been lucky enough to be involved with WinterKids for several years now, a cause I highly believe in. Though as much as I love winter sports, and despite popular opinion on Home Box Office, I am ecstatic that...  Spring is Coming!

See you next year WinterKids...

Winter sports fans rejoice in this snowy season! I had the chance to volunteer and contribute some photos to the incredible organization WinterKids at their great Welcome to Winter event last month.

One of the highlights was meeting L.L. Bear.

Shooting more food - Outliers Eatery

To say it was all delicious would be a vast understatement. Two of my favorites were the scallop and the duck. Incredible work by John and his team.
