It's been far too long. And for that, my friends, I'm sorry. I'm trying to get back on this thing. A series of misfortunes have laid themselves at my feet one after the other. I'll spare you all the details but suffice to say I've been trying to replace camera gear for the last couple months, my health has been failing me and now to add to the fun, my color profiles and my monitor for the iMac are all messed up.

When it rains... It pours... But... I'm here. Still fighting. Still wandering down a long and winding path. Those of you still with me. Thank you. Those of you who have been waiting for my return, I thank you the most for your patience and understanding.

That being said, I love you all. This world while wild, challenging and unpredictable is amazing, curious and rewarding. I'm going to keep updating this blog. As soon as my equipment and my health catches up with my fire inside, I'll start posting photos again. I miss my muse, photography. Until then, I'm still here wandering down that winding road.

Stay happy and healthy friends.
And remember...

...be good to one another.



Brody.


I leave you with this:




Well, the rain keeps on coming down
It feels like a flood in my head
And that road keeps on calling me
Screaming to everything lying ahead

And it's a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
I still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
I still have hope
I'm gonna find my way home

And I can see a little house
On top of the hill
And I can smell the ocean
The salt in the air
And I can see you
You're standing there
And you're washing your car
And I can see California sun in your hair

And its a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
Still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
I'm gonna find my way home

All these dreams took me so far
And I felt I just couldn't go on
And I want to hang
Out the window of your car
And see just how good this baby can run

'Cause it's a winding road
I've been walking for a long time
And I still don't know
Where it goes
And it's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
We're gonna find our way home

It's a winding road
Still have hope
One day we'll find our way home
It's a long way home
I've been searching for a long time
Still have hope
We're gonna find our way home

It's a long way home
It's a long way home

A Glimpse of Tiffany & Travis: Stonewall Farm, Keene, NH

Two weeks ago I was lucky enough to shoot Tiffany & Travis Dustin's wedding at the amazing Stonewall Farm in Keene, NH. What a day it was! The love these two share just made my job so easy. Without further ado, here's a glimpse of their amazing day.


T&T: The Glimpse

This *might* be my favorite shot of the whole thing. I found this train bridge right near the event and I just HAD to get these two out there under this thing. The funny part was, it was on a pretty well traveled road so in order to take this photograph I had to employ one of the bridesmaids and christen at either end of the tunnel to warn us of approaching cars. It was like mixing wedding photography and that scene of street hockey from Wayne's World. "Game on! Car! Game off! Game on!" Luckily for me, Tiff & Trav are THE PERFECT CLIENTS and they didn't even flinch when I proposed such a preposterous idea.



Rockin' the ceremony, both of them kept their composure as the event approached it's crescendo:



The happy couple as they are introduced to the crowd:



The groomsmen, keepin' it gangsta! How freakin' dapper do these cats look:



The first dance:



Tiffany is always ready to throw down and have some fun! Even in a wedding dress! Check out her hooping skills:


More to come soon! Check back in!
Hope you're staying happy and healthy,
Brody.

The 603 in Full Effect

So for those of you who don't know my history, I grew up in the woods of New Hampshire (henceforth the 603). I love that freakin' state and nothing besides photography puts me in such a place of inner peace as the 603. Well, two weekends ago I had the honor of shooting Tiffany and Travis Dustin's wedding in Keene, NH and while I was back in my home state I snagged a couple of frames out in the woods of a few local features.


This is the view from the fire tower on the peak of Pack Monadnock Mountain (It is said that Pack is local Native American dialect for small or little.) out to the great White Mountains many miles off to the north.:




If you climb to the bottom of the fire tower and turn 180 degrees this is the other view that greets you. This is the north terminus of the Wapack Trail. From here you can hike over 20 miles south into Massachusetts:




At the bottom of Pack Monadnock Mountain is NH Route 101. If you follow 101 west back towards Keene you eventually are greeted by the sight of the majestic Keystone Arch Bridge:


This bridge was once the largest stone arch in New England and it was built in the 1860's as a trestle to carry trains northbound from Massachusetts to destinations in New Hampshire.


I hope you enjoy the shots.
Stay happy and healthy,
Brody.

Two Frames in Passing

It's no secret that I freakin' love graffiti. Here in New Haven we're lucky enough to have several spots that are filled with colorful art but my favorite spot as of late has been the legal graff wall.

The other day when I was passing with christen, I was compelled to stop and shoot a couple frames.

Here's some fresh new paint from New Haven artist REO:



And another one of REO's pieces with Christen chillin' in front:



Hope you're all staying happy and healthy,
Brody

Jeremy and Allison: Preview

Three weeks ago I was lucky enough to second shoot Jeremy and Allison's wedding at the beautiful Harkness Park in New London, CT for my good friend Carrie Roseman of Carrie Roseman Photography. The following is a couple previews from that AWESOME day. There's more to come soon!


Here's one from the ceremony:



Here's one from just after the ceremony. I love the expressions here. You can tell they're just basking in wedded bliss:



One from the reception. Allison was rockin' that epic smile all day long too!



And finally, one for fun!




Thank you so much to Carrie and to Jeremy and Allison for having me on such a great day. The weather was perfect. The smiles were plentiful. And I definitely had an amazing time!

More photos to come!
Stay happy and healthy,
Brody.

A Long Time in the Making

Hey there folks,

Sorry I kind of dropped off the face of the blogosphere lately. Been crazy busy with projects and other life things and I haven't had a chance to update. Later today I'll have a preview or two up and ready to roll. In the coming week I'll have 2 full posts ready to roll and there are more photos coming in by the day.

Before I bore you all by running my mouth any more, I'll leave you with a recent photograph.



Old Nailworks Dam on the West River in Shelton, CT built sometime in the early 1800's

I hope you're all staying happy and healthy.

The General Lee

Last weekend I got a call from my buddy Joe.
"I got a horse," he reports.
"What?" I said.
Now I've known Joe for quite a few years now but never once did I have him pegged for a closet cowboy. An animal lover, sure. Horse owner? Not so much.
"Yeah man, a horse. He's a former race horse. He's cool as hell," He proudly stated. "Want to come shoot some photos of him for me?" Joe asked.
Without pause but still a little caught in disbelief I said, "Sure! Let's do it!"

Without further ado.
The General Lee
Owners:
Deanna Kovac
Joe Cuzino

Come to find out, Joe wasn't lying. There was a horse! And what a horse he is. The General Lee was so great to work with. He was friendly and didn't take off (unless I was chasing him!) I hope to shoot more shots with him soon!
Thanks Joe and Deanna!

Hope you're all staying happy and healthy!
