And Now For Something Entirely Different

I have been working on many new projects as of late.  When I say that, I really just mean I've been spending more of my "photography time" trying to make money off of my work versus creating more of it.  Though monetary profit is never my end-goal, it sure is a great perk to something that is nothing more than a hobby.  So yeah, I've been doing a bunch of craft fairs (the summer is great for that) and more galleries (both on and offline) trying to get my work out there and noticed.

But I have also been trying some other photographic ventures.  I have been doing more with videography and the stitching of individual photos into one video (time-lapse photography/videography).  It allows me to create a photographic timeline of sorts and is almost more journalistic in its final format.

So I guess what I'm really saying is...go check out my new photographic ventures on youtube.  Both of them...

one of them

and the other

Gone Boatin'

We took our boat out for the first time this year.  We like to go to Raystown Lake, which is in Huntingdon County, PA, but that's a bit far for days when you are only able to leave at noon.  We instead went to the Susquehanna River, only about an hour away, and rode around on the river, tubed, water skied, and rope ...swung? ...it was a quite enjoyable day.

Riding the Wake

Rather capable on the snow covered mountains, my brother attempted water skiing.  Once he got up he did quite well.  The shot isn't that great because I was frightened about the possibility of getting my wife's new camera wet...I wanted to get the picture as quickly as possible and return the camera to the waterproof bag.

Citrus Model

This is that same brother of mine.  Words are not necessary for this photo.

The Fall

This was where we were rope swinging.  Creating this image was fun, but I wish I got the whole process, not just the part where the swinger reached the end of the arc and fell.
