I set these bottles up and snapped a photo with my D70 while down in Sea Isle. I enjoy the colors and the message behind it: we have way too much Windex (but very clean windows).

Photography is about timing. And I’m not talking about shutter speed (although it is very important as well). No, I’m talking about capturing a moment. To do so sometimes takes perfect timing. Well, here it is. You can die happily knowing you’ve witness a wonderful moment captured in time thanks to the power of photography. That’s right, here we have Team Who’s the Boss raining blows on Team Drama in what appears to be two dudes kicking the crap out of two helpless girls in the wreck room of my senior year college apartment. In reality, the guy on the right is trying to shake off the girl he appears to be stomping on and the other guy was really having trouble breaking away from his dark haired diva. I’m proud of this one because I think I got the angle right and the timing (with my Coolpix, mind you) is just perfect. Cheers to another comedic moment in photography history.

Shot from the small single (and very slow) boats in Disney World. I think it was the Polynesian Resort. Alessio and I went to the Boardwalk and then over to this hotel where we jumped aboard these little cruiser boats for a half hour and a small fee. Like I said, they were really slow but it was something different and I snapped some nice pictures with my Coolpix. The sky looks like this today so here’s a little blue sky loveliness for ya.

I always enjoyed the aesthetics of this church on Ocean Avenue in Long Branch, NJ but I don’t really know much else about it. It’s red. This is one of the shots I took when I went camera happy just days after I started using my D70. The semi-wide angle of it works well with the tall portrait style of the photo, in my opinion. The sky is blown out but the red of the bricks comes through nicely.

Shot with my D70 just on Sunday at my dad's house on the "outskirts" of my hometown, Marlton, NJ. I'm pretty sure this guy was not too happy with my sticking a camera all up in his grill, hence showing off the guns... I mean, uhh, wings.

The back roads to Long Beach Island in the middle of South Jersey. I happened to have my D70 in the car so I pulled over and thought it'd be nice to snap a few photos of this little lake in the Pine Barrens. A bee stung me on the face as I shot this one. Yeah... thanks bee. I shot a couple more than drove off thinking three things: a) it's a good thing I'm not allergic to bees. b) at least it'll make for a good caption and c) my face hurts.

A cloudy day provided great lighting for this magnificent piece of the Monmouth University landscape. Some great pictures came out that day. Shot with my old Coolpix.

Sometimes you just know when you’ve snapped a winner. I knew I liked this picture the second I shot it back in January of 2005 in Long Branch, NJ. It snowed at least six inches the night before, forcing us to attempt to push each other along the snowy Cedar Avenue in a shopping cart. As far as the movement, there wasn’t much, except for Jim taking a dive into a pile of plowed snow. The moment created a priceless photo, maybe I’ll put it up here someday. Our intimate snow celebration that night was one of the best night’s we had in those apartments. The next day we did what all kids do… we went sledding. The only twist was the rocky banks of the Atlantic Ocean. No one made it all the way to the water because – surprisingly enough – sand doesn’t make for very good sledding, I don’t care if you’re “The Flying Tomato.” Jim stripped down to his PJs while standing on a covered lifeguard stand. Another great picture. It was a great couple days and I thank MU for being wimpy enough to cancel classes. This picture brings back all those memories, and more.
