Jedediah Hawkins is a timeless, classic beauty-the perfect backdrop for an intimate winter wedding. I thank Sharon and Andrew for inviting me to capture their memories. Here is a first look at some of my own favorites from their celebration..jpg "The Bride")

We are excited to be updating the website and blog to improve your user experience-especially those who find us through mobile devices. You may find some odd layouts, unfinished posts, and photos that are not up to our usual fine quality. Rest assured this is only temporary. When we are finished, Vivid Visions Photo and Vivid Visions Pix will be better than ever! no comments Over the weekend, the Mister and I had the good fortune to lead a tour to Block Island. Dropping anchor in the favorite summer retreat was a first for us both, and we were so pleased to have the opportunity on behalf of the Southold Town Recreation Department. Of course I brought the camera, and I was quite pleased with the photo opportunities this seaside enclave offered-foggy morning notwithstanding. We were a bit concerned initially, as the weather forecast was calling for showers-imagine a boat full of nearly 70 people trying to keep dry in a cabin built for 50! I had visions of the SS Minnow (Gilligan’s Island for those of you who need the trivia book), but despite a very foggy morning, we enjoyed dry weather, and a fabulous sunset over Greenport Harbor. A rainbow at the pier welcomed us. How grand! Here are some of my favorite images from my first visit to Block Island.

Mo, I”m so glad you like them! Thank you for your kind comments. A September wedding on the beach is always a good plan, and today, Theresa and Peter hit the jackpot with a beautiful sunset, blue water and happy guests! Congratulations! no comments This last week allowed me to cross two big items off my bucket list-photographically and in the game of life. First, many who know me also know that I can be a bit of a nag during the full/new moon cycle in May and June and I am reading tide tables, watching the weather and trying to figure out which beach will be the most promising for sighting horseshoe crab spawning. This is an annual phenomenon when horseshoe crabs travel from the deep blue ocean to lay their eggs in the high tide sands. As one fellow photog who has a way with words put it: Primordial Porn. A name that is apt, given the many male crabs that attempt the attach themselves to the female as she is burrowing to lay her eggs. I have witnessed this activity before, but never with a camera, and it has been a life’s goal to capture this for us to appreciate, and hopefully treat them with care. Unfortunately, the baymen, who also must make a living I grant you, use this time to patrol the beaches and just fill their buckets with them. No, horseshoe crabs are not a delicacy in some far off nation’s cuisine. Instead, they are bait for a delicacy here on eastern Long Island-eels. It is the eggs of the horseshoe crabs that are most appealing, so the baymen gather up what they can. During spawning, it is like shooting ducks in a barrel. So while it was heartbreaking to see the buckets full, it was wonderful to see the hundred or so crabs furiously working to continue the species. See the collage board below. But first, let me also share with you the other life’s goal I accomplished this week-a ride in a helicopter. When I tell you that I have been trying to accomplish this since I was a teen, I am not exaggerating. But, for one reason or another-weather, timing, cost-I just never made it off the ground. Well this time around, my photographic skills were needed to assist in the Southold Relay for Life, by way of an aerial photo of the event. So, just before sunset, I climbed aboard a crop duster type chopper, strapped myself in, and got ready to shoot. It was one of the best 10 minutes I have ever been airborne! I have also included a collage board of some of that, too.
