Montauk On The Green - This Weekend!

The 22nd Annual Montauk Juried Fine Art Show on the Green returns to downtown Montauk on August 19-21, 2016.

Join us as the Green becomes an outdoor gallery of extraordinary original fine art and craft by artists from Long Island and across America. The event is Friday August 19th thru Sunday August 21st, 2016.

As you walk the Green you will encounter incredible art creations in painting, sculpting, jewelry, photography, glass, ceramics, fiber and wearable art, mixed-media, woodworking and more. Meet the artists, learn how they came to their art forms and understand how your specific pieces were created. If you do not see exactly what you sought, commission a unique piece of art made specifically for you! 

Realize many of these artisans are represented in the nation’s most prestigious private art collections and public institutions. This interaction with and knowledge gained from your discussions with the artists adds inestimable value to your purchases. 

The festival opens Friday August 19 from noon until 6 p.m. Both Saturday and Sunday the art festival is open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission is free. 

Located on the Montauk Green in the heart of downtown Montauk, the Montauk Show on the Green is directed by the not-for-profit Montauk Artists’ Association.

My Week Through my lens... 6/6/16 - 6/12/16

Through my lens... 6/6/16 - 6/12/16

I have been selling Hooded Sweatshirts and T-Shirts for some time now at my shows, but I haven't had the time to shoot them for my website and list them for sale. Today I have finally listed the sweatshirts online and they are now available in my etsy store! Im so excited to finally begin this part of my etsy shop, because I have been requested for years to make clothing, but It was never the right time. My dear friend Tiffany came to visit me this past friday and we raced to the ocean and she quickly modeled the mens and women sizes for me. I now have images that I can share! Now that I have some momentum going and the listing work is layed out on-line I can get the kids back down to the beach together (because T was in school) to photograph more Youth sizes! Stay tuned for more, and tell me what images and colors you like best!

I apologize for skipping the past few weeks, I haven't forgotten about my new subscribers! Instead of new images, I have been focusing my attention on new projects! Along with having the last few weeks of school filled with activities with the boys, I have managed to get quite a bit accomplished in my last month before school gets out. Stay tuned! 

This past week my Good friend Amy Kirwin called, and asked me If I could take the time to snap a few pics of her for an upcoming article in the local newspaper about her new Job. So I happily went right over to where she works, One of the most beautiful places in Southampton village, The Southampton Arts Center.

Congratulations Amy!

Early Lilac's 

This week has had its ups and down, weather wise. I can feel spring coming, or do I feel summer coming this weekend? I can't tell anymore... 

Anyway I couldn't wait for my Lilacs to bloom so I picked off this small amount and brought it inside during the rain. I am quite pleased with how it turned out. With little practice I might consider more indoor shoots this coming winter...

Cherry Blossom

I captured this shot at Downs Family Park in Southampton, waiting for my sons baseball game to start. They have many Cherry Trees there. The park looks so pretty this time of year!

Peach Tree

This image of a peach tree branch was taken on my windowsill in my kitchen. This is one of my favorite spots to take still life photos inside.

Azalea bushes can be so beautiful!!! This one just happened to have this shelf, As the viewer you feel as though you are flying through it.

Dandelion

I have never taken a dandelion photo before and I have never tried to make a background black before either. For some reason, I finally just did it. Another step in the right direction for my indoor winter photography projects.

Old Cat

What Caterpillar this was, I don't recall. But it was beautifully rusted! I just love the gold and orange color combination.

Decaying Beauty

I believe this is an old irrigation system, but I will have to look into that more. It just looked so pretty in the field with all the flowers growing around it. The patina on this was also amazing!

Ford 

I wish I could remember what this was exactly. I think it was from a tractor, but I'm  not sure at all. I just love the look of the old rust. I was very distracted, too many rusty machines to look at.

Village Charm

 This may be one of the most charming photographs I have ever taken. I am simply in love with this image! I walked by this house one day and stopped and snapped a picture with my cell phone, and it came out terrible! So I returned the next day with my Canon DSLR with my 85mm 1.8 lens. It was worth the extra weight I had to carry around that day. With the gray skies still weighing us down this spring. I just go back to this image to remember it is still spring... not fall.
All of these Photos were taken on Elm Street in Southampton Village. A photo essay of some sort, I guess. Not intentional at all.
