Went to Manhattan for the day. From the ridiculous to the sublime, here are two shots from that set.

Lancaster’s Long’s Park is host to the fourth largest Art & Craft festival in the United States. For the last few year the one person responsible for making it happen, for making it work smoothly and making it successful is Amy Marberger. I met Amy through the Sertoma club two years ago and since I already had a good catalog of festival shots, when I went there this year, I shot Amy. Here are three of my favorites from that set.

Since I took the time to update here. I’ve been so busy and then when I have something I’ve been tossing up on the Facebook site.
Which is no excuse.
I’ve added no less than 51 new shoots to the gallery since my last post. Here is a briefly overview of some of them. If you want to see them, click here, to visit a page with all my sets in chronological order (most recent to earliest).
I’ve had this weird fetish for clouds lately.
I want to take a moment to welcome Millersville University as a new client. I am proud to have been selected to do some of their work. My images will primarily appear in their “Review” Magazine but they will also pop up all over the place.
Below is a recent Millersville graduate, Daniel Kravatz. Daniel is an honors math graduate and most recently was in the news when he was called upon to devise the most efficient method of distributing communion during the last Papal visit to the US (there were 40,000 communicants involved). The formula for his solution is on the computer screen in front of him.
Yes, more clouds.
Catalog shots for the Veleska Jewelry fall collection. There were about 30 of these color samplers as well as some bracelets, rings and pendants.
The Chromatics performing at Lancaster Art & Glass during August’s Music Friday.
I also want to welcome the Lancaster Museum of Art as a new client. Another wonderful organization that I am honored to work with. Here is one shot from their annual Art In The Park event.
I have a bunch of work for the JSID Annual Report. Here is one shot of the Bed & Bath Affair in College Row.
Iron Hill Bewery for the JSID Annual Report.
Lancaster Square for the JSID. We wanted some reference shots of the square as demolition of the pedestrian bridge, stairway and some of the parapets begins in mid-October.
Convention Center progress for the JSID.
A shot of one LCSC security camera for a Millersville University article on security cam effectiveness.
New remodeling work for Kiely Construction.
Evening at the Prince Street Cafe for the JSID.
The second annual Rosa Rosa Italian Festival just for fun.
And finally, just for the heck of it, a hot air balloon drifts over downtown at sunrise earlier this week.
And that’s just some of what I’ve been doing.
Thanks for stopping by.

UPDATE:Here’s the YouTube video made from my shots…
I just finished chronicling the work of Theater of the Seventh Sister Associate Artistic Director, Lydia Brubaker during her annual Shakespeare Camp at F&M. Every summer Lydia directs a group of young men and women (from ages 13-18) through an intensive theater workshop that produces one Shakespeare play. This year’s offering was The Taming of the Shrew.
One of the most interesting parts of the workshop, at least for me, was the gender distribution of the students and how that affected the play. The students, some dozen or more young women and three young men, because of the make to female ratio, all played cross-gender roles. Put simply, all the guys played women on stage and woman played the male roles. So not only were they learning and working with the process of acting but they had the double hurdle of playing against their own gender. In a time of life when we all formed our adult identities, these students were not only working it out in real life but on stage.
I can’t say how impressed I was with the group’s passion, involvement and their performances. It’s simply amazing to watch Lydia work with the campers and them work for her. The students (and Lydia) do everything from working the theater itself to costuming their roles. I saw the final dress rehearsal today and I thought they did an admirable job with the play. It was very entertaining.
Below you find a few samples from today’s dress rehearsal and you can view the other images I shot throughout the workshop at the links below.

This year’s JSID annual report will feature of lot of my work. I’m honored that they would use stuff and to add a little icing to the top, I get to do the cover. We’ve been working on concepts all week and while this one won’t make it to the cover, I really love it.
This is the Convention Center at night. The light below the Convention Center is Annie Bailey’s back patio and the weird green glow below that is, well I have no idea. I suppose it’s some nasty florescents in the parking area below the patio. Generally I hate florescents but this time, I’m really glad they’re there.
If you want to see the entire evening’s shots, you can. Just click here to visit the gallery.
If you like the shot do click on it and then select a higher res version at the Flickr site. It’s a nice shot with more pixels.
