I took a group photo of Medway’s class of 2019 today, while there I took some drone photos for fun, including this 360 panoramic. Might try again in a coule weeks with more color in the trees.

Spent some time this evening taking photos with Elizabeth, a senior at Medway High class of 2019. One of the many seniors I have been lucky to photograph this season. Many who I have known for years through the town, sports, or in Elizabeth’s case dance with my daughter and school with my son. The world is in good hands with these young adults.

the dailypic 3294 yr9 007 Ram Island Ledge Light
A trip north to loom at some lighthouses. Started in New Castle Island, NH and made it to Portland, ME. Only saw a handful, it was more about getting away for a day. Might had seen more but we took the dogs with us, and that is a huge ordeal, we are stopped every 10 feet with requests to pat, talk with, take photos of the dogs. “the tall one is female, Josie, 93lbs, 2.5 years old, the ‘little’ one isArgus, he is a puppy, 6.5 months old… no really, yes a puppy. Yes, we are aware he will only get bigger, no it is not her puppy, they are half-siblings, yes they do eat a lot, yes their crap is enormous, yup… they shed, really you knew someone who had one and it died, they do get along, it does look like they are smiling…” move 10 feet, repeat… not complaining at all, they bring joy to everyone who sees them. I let my wife do most the talking, and I send the drone off to get photos, like the one above. That is Ram Island Ledge Light is a lighthouse in Casco Bay, Maine, and favorite of mine that you can see from Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. We also saw Whale-back Light, Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse, Bug Light, Nubble Light but it was under construction and a few other stops on some beaches.

the dailypic 3288 yr9 001 Orbit
Today is my 16,437th day on the planet, save your fingers, I will do the math, it’s my 45th birthday. I enjoy birthdays, for the simple fact that they are a privilege, not a right and I hope to collect them all. Now this one seemed to come with more work than others, but I feel better than I have at the last few. Lighter physically and mentally, less limpy, more focused, more entertained, less serious, but on the other side of the coin, I feel more mortal than ever, more aware of time, and even more cautious of others. Since my last trip around the sun, I added a dog who is nothing more than a smile with fur, I’ve watched both my kids take the reins of their future and become the adults I had hoped, and seen my business grow. We all have our stories, all tied to the same mortality, each with a birthday that marks it off in smaller chunks. I celebrate my days between with this project. It is part of my process and how I like to contribute. It helps keep me moving forward to the next. Like I said I like birthdays, and I have many plans between this one and the next orbit. 45 will take me to Cuba, add a huge new chapter in my business (that will be announced very soon), I will see my son graduate High School, completing my families residency at Medway High and many more milestones I am not even aware of, all I can promise they will be caught on camera. Happy Birthday to us all, no matter your day.

the dailypic 3287 yr9 365 Day #3287
Nine years ago tomorrow (Oct 1) I started taking a photo every day for a month. Thirty-one images posted on my Facebook page, get back into the swing of photography after a break between film and digital. Since then it has been 3287 days of photos, not bad for a month long project. Most years around this time I debate stopping the project, ending it on the year complete. If it were to end it would end on a year-end, but if that is the case why would I stop at nine if ten is right around the corner. So, tomorrow there will be another photo, with at least 364 to follow. Each year since the end of year two I have incorporated numbers in the picture, so below you have the last day of years two to eight. I asked social media for some suggestions on how to show 3287. Many of the ideas had been used before, but Stacey on my Facebook page suggested McCourty to Gronkowski. We had hoped for her kids to be wearing the jerseys, but it did not work out, so a quick trip to the Pro Shop and I got it. Thank you for all the suggestions. Feel free to send 3652 ideas for a year from now. Thank you for looking.

the dailypic 3285 yr9 363 Nicole & Andrew
Tonight I had the honor of photographing Nicole and Andrews wedding. Barn weddings are my favorite and Blissful Meadows Country Club in Uxbridge, MA is a perfect place for one. For a day that started with down pouring rain and stayed cloudy most the day, it was amazing as the sun came out as the couple exchanged rings. I wish them both nothing but happiness, and it was a privilege to be part of their day. Here is just a small sample of the photos and fun we had.
