GONE

The banner image of an old knitting mill reflected what was left of the abandoned factory.  Today, all is gone but the water tower.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Photography is temporarily Suspended 
T00 many factors could cause undesired schedule changes...and I today(1-1-2020) had surgery to free nerves in right forearm.  Several undetermined weeks are needed for the 4 surgery areas to heal* and hopefully full function to return.

Odds are, our photo work is *forced to end..Why?  Surgery healed with perhaps 75% success ...but, rheumatoid arthritis is much worse, balance and walking gait has deteriorated. MOBILE working with a camera almost becomes a circus act and is better not attempted.  We might keep doing "studio" style imaging with camera supports and lights..not sure just yet. Giving it up is difficult but when quality of the product goes down...we simply will not tolerate that.

We are Specializing our Services ..this post clarifies the changes

See this page first... if you have any interest in using our photo services.

Photographers are biting the dust. Studios are closing.  We want to keep doing the high quality photography we have been doing but to keep it going, there is a real need to limit our services...meaning we are now more specialized. Our photography is focused primarily on:

·       "Business Office Photography”

·       “Business Office with Head shots Emphasis” 
               Thanks to Pioneer Financial Services, Kingston and their  staff shown here. Business Staff                                              

·       Specialized Product Close Up,  Full Focus End to End        2nd Full Focus Sample

·       Specialty Animal and Property Photography(Click link at top of this post.)

That is the emphasis of our commercial photography.  If you have some other photography need, contact us and we will talk it over with you.  We have the experience and skills to do many types of photography but are totally backing off from the jobs where possible clients are shopping bargain basement or are happy with point and shoot and media device photography.  We spend a lot of time with photo sessions and even more time at the editing screen.  Images are supplied in the forms most applicable for your business use.  Our pricing is quite competitive for the types of work we do.

Feel free to mail us (contact at right) with any questions about photography..or the photos on the page link above.  

An Extraordinary 2 Days in Alabama Look at top of pages list on right column.

I am writing a brief but telling recollection of a bus ride and two days in Alabama.  We visited several places involved deeply with the desegregation efforts there, including the church where Dr. King had his office across the street and a few short blocks from the state capitol building.  We also met and spoke with a dignified elderly man, Fred Gray.  Attorneys know that name. Fred Gray was the attorney and adviser for Rosa Parks, the black lady who would not give up her seat on the bus to a white man.  Mr. Gray still practices law and runs the Tuskegee Human Civil Rights and Multicultural Center in Tuskegee, Alabama.

So, that is the intro to what I hope will be an interesting tour 

of text and many photographs.

By doing this, you see more of our capability

and learn more about me, the man behind 

the camera in journalistic style photography. 
One image from the trip is below in a previous blog post:

• 16th Street Baptist Church, Birmingham, where 4 young girls were killed by a dynamite blast
• Montgomery, where in the shadow of the capitol building Martin Luther King was pastor of the Dexter Ave. Church
• Tuskegee, Home of famous Tuskegee University and the infamous Syphilis Experiment
• Fred Gray, Esteemed civil rights attorney, lawyer for Rosa Parks
• Home of Booker T. Washington
• Moton Field Museum to the Tuskegee Airmen who trained there

So this remains an intact article and not be bumped down by upcoming blog posts, the story and photos are going into a blog page format. See listing of pages on the right side column of this blog.

Architectural beauty...images worthy

This is a quite famous landmark in Birmingham, Alabama.  The 16th Street Baptist Church became will known for a part it played in the turmoil of events during desegregation efforts by Dr. Martin Luther King and others, such as Rosa Parks, in a segregated Alabama.
This post is not about those events but about producing fine photographs for clients.  This old brick building is a fine example of the Romanesque style and here we show an excellent and tasteful image of the church using  high dynamic range photography. The result is an excellent look at the  church.  High dynamic range combines several photographs each taken with different exposures.  These multiple images contain the deepest shadow and the bright highlights not possible to contain in a single exposure.Combining with discretion and good judgment  produces a photo as shown here.  The detail overall is impressive. Too often the case  with HDR treatment is an overdone image  stepping beyond the added realism of highlight and shadow producing an often surreal image and one not best suited for marketing something which is in fact, quite real.

Contact us for quality photographic images for your business, whether property, people, pets, machines and devices or food served with visual richness.

a few picked the pockets of all convenient to them

A few conflicts reach a level of great historical significance and books are written and movies made in attempt to tell the story as it was. We try but still do not understand the "being there". Some who were there followed deluded thoughts of glory and righteousness; some, like sheep, moved and swayed and fell with little understanding of higher purpose, a few picked the pockets of all convenient to them. Misunderstood most of all was the why and

where does it go from here. Those who knew truthful answers found remarkably few ears to listen. This represents what you see it to be.

That is what we do.

New Price Sheet on Animal and Pet Photography

Contact Us and ask for new .pdf files of pet photo pricing for personal or private sessions and how we generally set-up for in-store pet photo work.  

NOTE:  We do not sell digital files*(via DVD or other means).  A few photographers work on the lower end of quality and price by practicing "shoot and burn", simply defined as images straight from the camera, burned to CD or DVD and sold to the client. This process skips right by the vital editing work needed to produce professional grade photos of the quality to make you quite happy.  S&B process is quick and dirty in quality. We will not do it.  We spend a average of 3 hours at our editing computers for each hour spent in actual photo shooting.  The resulting images show it is very much worth going this truly professional direction with anything we intend to associate with our name and provide to our clients.

*The exception is specially created and produced imaging for businesses when a definite need exist.  This includes a license for use and limitations of usage areas within a specific time period. These images are edited to suit the marketing purpose and licensed  for a fee.
