As many of you are aware, I do have a “day job,” which is the only reason I can afford to take photographs at all. Sometimes I am called upon to flex my photographic muscle at the office, but only occasionally.

I brought my brand new Canon EOS-5D in for a little candid photo session to pad some of our marketing stuff and wound up with a few semi-interesting shots that I want to share.

Welcome to the New and Improved Single-Serving Photo! This is my first real article post since I rolled out this whole new design, and I’m really happy to welcome you all who may be reading it!

Lately, I’ve been reading an awful lot on the subject of photography, both in “dead tree” format as well as digital. I want to take this opportunity as I welcome everyone to what I hope will grow to be yet another useful resource in the field to call out to some of the people, sites, and other sources that have kept me going and inspired me during the transition.

I picked up and I moved to New London, CT, The Whaling City. I can’t say that I’m a huge fan of fishing and whaling, but I am a huge fan of the waterfront. I finally got a chance to take my camera out and walk along the pier by the train station last night and I want to share these with you all.

Here we are at the beginning of September already, and I haven’t even posted these photos from July! These were taken at Mill Pond Park in Newington, CT during their “Mill Pond Park Extravaganza,” which happened to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Newington’s Parks and Rec. Department. There were fireworks, there was fried dough, there were heaps of people… Some of them were waving glowing toys around.

This weekend I had a wonderful, experimental photo shoot with miss Ilva. I really wanted to give this roll of orange paper a go, and try some things with my fan (which I did in another recent shoot and I thought that went pretty well).

Here are just three to whet your palate!

There will be lots more up on my gallery soon, so don’t forget about that link on the right that says “Aaron’s Gallery!”
