“Where there’s Smoke, there’s Fire”
I’ve been busier than hell the past few days with the beginning of a week long portrait shooting session of ALL the Members of the Horseheads Fire Department…my buddies across the street from my 211 Studio. Having formerly been both a Horseheads, and a Town & Country Fireman myself, this shoot provided me with the chance to greet and catch up with many old friends, as well as to meet and get to know a bit, many of the newer members that have joined the ranks in recent years. Speaking of old friends, this afternoon I had the privilege to shoot my lifelong old buddy, HFD Chief Artie Sullivan, along with his two nephews, Kevin & Patrick, both of whom I have known since they were little boys. In my opinion, this is one of my all time favorite, meaningful, family portraits.
“Slick” Seidel
During Elmira games all season long while shooting Jackals Forward Mike Seidel, he keeps reminding me of RANGERS forward Mats Zuccarello….same build, gritty determination and hustle, same long dark hair. Especially so tonight right after I shot Mats Z on Friday Night up in Buffalo. Anyway…..Mike put on one hell of a move tonight right in front of me during the second period that made me once again think of the similarities of these two players! Check it out! Poor ole Greenville Defenseman Sam Noreau #8, he didn’t know whether to shit or wind his watch!!!
My NHL Debut! (From Camera #2) 02/20/15
Great Arena shots, the section near where my assigned shooting hole was located, & the fun gang of mostly RANGERS fans that surrounded me there. And the one thing I truly loved? I didn’t even have to clean my own windows because they have GLASS GIRLS! Even Ladies with Hockey Sticks on the Restroom Signs!………..HELLO BIG LEAGUES!…..LOL!
It was nice to visit & hopefully I can do it all again next season, and till then I’ll be back to cover OUR Elmira Jackals on Wednesday night!

On the same night that NY RANGERS Rookie Goaltender Mackenzie Skapski made his NHL Debut, so did I! Thanks to my Elmira Jackals friends in higher places, they pulled some strings and got me here tonight! Nate, Tom, Shona & Jared, I hope I made you proud and thus deserving with my work & professional representation of the Jackals organization on this fun and exciting night! And My RANGERS won too! 3-1
Here are my final selections from the night!

My Moments with Matt
Had the pleasure today to shoot formal Portraits for my good friend, now Deacon Matt Jones, who is making the long journey towards becoming a Roman Catholic Priest. We had a lot of fun doing this shoot. I’m hoping/betting that this is my “Get into Heaven Free” card!!! Put in a good word for me Padre’!
