Professional Shooting and Amateur Hunting

Starting out the week attending the Marie Piscopo workshop (www.mpiscopo.com) put on by Tri-C and www.asmp-onc our local ASMP professional photography group. Interesting and enlightening. Jumped in to shooting some senior portraits both
on location and in the studio. Always fun.



Studio shots are even more challenging in that I have to come up with interesting angles and niches to pull out the best photos.

I received a copy of the new menu Rick Shaffer (www.shafferdesign.com ) and I had worked on in New York city. The piece turned out fantastic.

Towards the middle of the week we did some good old fashion Industrial Photography with sparks and all. Cleveland is still
loaded with plenty of manufacturing businesses that need quality photography.

This time of year I'm off as often as possible to follow another shooting love. Bird hunting.



I went back to New York State for
some pheasant, grouse and duck hunting for a long four day hunt.
We were very successfull starting out with 75 degree days
and turning into some of the worst rain storms I've seen this early in the season.

The last day the winds changed around and we had our limit of ducks in record time. Great Hunt.

The whole time I was out playing I had Jim Baron and Amy Weiser covering the Battle of the Corporate Bands at a place
I've shot endless photos from days gone pass. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They did an excellent job of covering
the event.

Executive portraits, headshots and fish.

The weekend started out strong with Jim Baron and I shooting hundreds of portraits, some trade show exhibits, brand awareness openers and cocktail parties at the Cleveland Renaissance Hotel and the old arcade.

After several days of shooting it was time for me to take one of my vacations. This time it was a trip up to Canada for their
second day of duck season. We did quite well and the morning was over before I knew it and it was time to head back to
Ohio.


I wasn't disappointed though - I knew my fly fishing club was on the way home - www.sunnybrooktroutclub.com.
After catching a couple of rainbows for dinner I was able to land a beautiful brown before the sun set.







Back to reality for the rest of the week shooting some construction shots for an architectural client.



We finished up the week shooting plaques in the studio and some additional meetings and group shots.




Every week brings something different.
