Home, Sweet Home....

NOT REALLY :) 

Well we are back from Florida and I cant say that I missed good old snowy New England that much. I am hoping to put together a whole bunch of pictures from the trip on a slideshow but for now just a sneak peak of how our trip went. Everything was great, the weather, the hotel, and BC WON THE CHAMP SPORTS BOWL! I have a lot of great shots to put on here so stay tuned and I will post them as soon as I get time to go through all these. 

We have arrived!

We got to Orlando today... these are the times when you don't miss that New England weather with close to a foot of snow on the ground. We are staying in the Orlando World Center Marriot, the hotel and everything is great :)

The Final Gathering

Hey everyone, I wanted to put a post up here because I feel like I haven't done this in forever. Well last weekend sadly was the 2007 Knights 8th grade team banquet which means that's it. They had a great season and finished 9-0-1 and are the official Cape Ann Youth Football League Superbowl Champions. Congratulations guys! The banquet was great, the team got to get together one last time, have a pizza eating contest and of course hear some funny stories from Coach Walsh, about the season and got to watch my slideshow that I put together for them from all the pictures I took throughout season. Heres their final team picture (everyone with their trophies).

Thanks for a great season guys it was a lot of fun and best of luck next year at the high school :)

*Also any parents that would like to purchase the team picture or copies of the team slideshow please email me at jmccoy1413@gmail.com

Thanksgiving on Bitter Sweet Farm

Hey all,
Well Thanksgiving has finally come and gone and we are on to get ready for the Holidays. We spent our Thanksgiving at my Aunt Lisa's farm in Ipswitch and we all had an amazing day. Below is a shot that I took right before dinner and you can see a few of my favorites by clicking the link to see them in a flickr slideshow.
I would like to thank all of my friends and family for making my dream a reality by checking back here regularly and by giving me feedback on my work. I would not be where I am today if it weren't for all of you and since this is probably the most appropriate time to thank all of you, I want you all to know how much this means to me and thank you for your support.

Thanksgiving

Scott Kelby=A whole new life

Hello All
I honestly am not sure how to explain my day. Can I first off just say that I skipped school to go to a Photoshop Seminar! IT WAS AMAZING!! I went with my cousin Keri from Sweet Whispers Photography,we both walked out of there completely amazed-- Thanks again Keri for taking me!! The amount that you could possible learn from him in one was unbelievable. There really isn't much else to say about that, although I could go on and on about what we learned but no one really wants to read about that so heres the deal.... you can see what I learned by checking here lol .From now I will be using just about every single technique I learned. Hope to show you some stuff soon!

Halloween Session

Interesting Shoot

Hey All
Just wanted to share something with you guys that was a really...different experience for me. Last night I went to the Center For New Age Photography studio in Lawrence for a very interesting opportunity. I got there and registered and everything and they explained to me what was going on: apparently there is a halloween costume store that needed pictures for their website so this studio volunteered for us to do the shoot. "A picture tells a thousand words" so why don't you just check this shot out. Pretty much sums up the night :) There should be more to come soon
