During a recent vacation to Salam, my lady and I stumbled upon The Witchside Tavern, and it turned out to be a delightful find! This charming little spot perfectly complements the whimsical vibe of the surrounding attractions, and the food is delicious. I ordered the jalapeno burger, which had a balance of heat and savory flavors. My lady chose the chicken pesto panini, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be […]
On our way to the Old North Church, my lady and I stumbled upon Table Mercato, and, being unable to resist anything Italian, she couldn’t help but step in for some grocery shopping. While she browsed for hot sauce and olive oil, I decided to sample one of their specialty sandwiches. I ordered The Roman, and it was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients truly set it apart. Although the prices are on the higher side, making it a bit […]
Birthdays are always special, but this year, my stepdaughter, Morgan, went above and beyond to give me a gift that’s truly one of a kind. She surprised me with a custom-made Funko Pop—and when I say custom, I mean it’s me in miniature form. The attention to detail is incredible. The Pop has a bag of popcorn in one hand (my all-time favorite snack) and a camera in the other (my favorite hobby). To top it off, it’s decked out […]
Last week, Chase and I shared a night full of laughs at the Impractical Jokers live show. Watching Sal, Q, and Murr bring their off-the-wall humor to the stage was an experience unlike any other. Their jokes landed perfectly, and hearing them share behind-the-scenes stories about the TV show gave us a deeper appreciation for how much fun (and chaos!) goes into creating each episode. What made the evening even more special was that Chase, who typically prefers staying home […]
Had some time to shoot Morgan at Thatcher Park. This girl is so much fun to shoot and her photos always come out great, I love it.
Growing up, our trips to Minerva Lake in the Adirondacks became a staple, and one of the landmarks that signaled we were getting close a the dam along the way. As a kid, I’d look forward to seeing the water cascading over it, wondering about its purpose. Last year, during a solo outing back to Minerva Lake with the dogs, I made it a point to revisit that memory, stopping to take in the waterfall I once looked forward to […]
I recently revisited my childhood camp with Chloe and Larry, capturing photos of familiar spots and reflecting on how things have evolved over the years.
Nate was cool enough to let me get some portrait experience to compliment his senior pictures. He’s a handsome kid.
Had a really fun time walking around Saratoga Comic Con last week. You really have to appreciate those who put so much work into their cosplay. I didn’t take as many photos as I would have liked to, but I’m pleased with the shots I did get.
Had a great time with Britney and Riley during a couples shoot amidst the backdrop Renssleaville Falls. The brisk weather somewhat expedited our original timeline, but it didn’t matter. I don’t think anything could have kept them from smiling.
