New Images December 5, 2005 Evelyn and Shar

Eveyln and Shar were married in the beautiful Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York. Although it was the first week in Nov, we were lucky to still have some nice color on the trees. These new reprints from their wedding of several years ago are now being printed on the Epson 4800 (see studio tools). I was curious to see how with a new printer, inks and a new fine at paper how they might look. I am very happy with the results.

I spoke with them recently and they just had a baby! Now what I have to start doing is photographing the children of couples I have captured as bride and groom.

My studio tools - Epson Printers December 4, 2005

I lot of my clients ask me about my fine art wedding prints and album creations. They want to know a bit about how I make them and what printers are used. So, here they are! I have been a user of Epson printers for nearly 20 years. When I first worked for Apple Computer, I began to explore printers beyond what Apple had been offering and fell in love with the Epson products.

My studio has four Epson Printers, all used for different tasks. For daily printouts, mostly BW letters and such is the Epson Stylus 2000P. For contact sheets and some limited color projects I use the Epson Stylus Photo 2200.

My most recent purchases are the top of the line Epson 4800 and Epson 7800 wide format archival printers. These are the real workhorses in the studio. Both use the new Ultrachrome archival ink sets for not only the best color, but the longest lasting prints.

The prints from these Epson printers will easily last a lifetime. I use mostly Epson archival fine art papers presented in acid free archival albums.

These studio printers look like the above images starting with the 7800, 4800, 2200 and at the bottom 2000P.

Several of my fine art images are now on display in a great new gallery here in the Albany , New York area. The new gallery is called "Exposed - Gallery of Art Photography" and is located in Delmar, NY, just minutes from my office/studio in Glenmont.

This first major show is called Lens Gumbo redux and runs through January 3, 2006. It is a terrific mix of images from over 30 fine art photographers, many from the Upstate New York area. They are located on the 2nd Floor at 318 Delaware Avenue in Delmar. They can be reached at 518.475.1853.

Here are a few of my fine art images.

Joe Buissink Workshop - November 14, 2005

The PPSNY Professional Photgraphers Society of New York hosted a great one day wedding photography workshop with celebrity wedding photographer Joe Buissink on November 14th 2005.

I attended this workshop and was very impressed not only with Joe's wonderful images, but his ease and willingness to share with all of the nearly 100 participants.

Joe was very open and honest with all of us. This is not always the case with some of the top photographers in the business, it was very refreshing!
