In early September, I got a chance to work with Jaimielynn Cooper of County Lines Magazine to shoot the October cover at Wolff’s Apple House in Media, PA.
After an hour or so of looking around at the various fruits and vegetables that were available to us, Jaimielynn & I put together various scenes, took a couple of cell phone shots, and sent them back to the editors for review.
I thought to my self how much things had changed.
Gone are the days of shooting a test shot with a Polaroid…
The image slowly came together, and we captured this –
In the days leading up to the October release date, there were a few magazine sightings!
So check your news stands to get your copy!!
Thanks again to Jaimielynn Cooper and the other wonderful folks over at County Lines Magazine for this opportunity!

Here it is, some 50 years later…
Once again, it did rain, so with that in mind, the kids and I decided to play in the studio…
Still can’t believe I am really that old!

It is that time of the year again for fireworks!!
For those of you in Chester County PA area, here is a guide to local events that my friends of at County Line Magazine put together!
Where to Find Fireworks? (PDF)
My fellow photographer friend, Dan Potter, also put together a nice list of do’s and don’t when photographing fireworks!
I do take issue with his Bulb settings (#2) comment.
Looking back into my collection…
What my data suggests, that you might be referring to an older analog film based camera, and if memory serves me correctly, Nikon did the SAME THING on their line during that time!
In both cases (Canon vs Nikon), it was the nature of analog film cameras to have the Speeds on the Upper Dial and the Aperture on the Lens itself.
These days, both are done via the various digital modes, one being (M)anual.
Dan also makes a good point to “know your location” and to be able to “adjust quickly”. (#4)
In the various years that I have photographed the Good Neighbor Fireworks, their launch area does seem to be a moving target from year to year!
In any case, enjoy the tips and have a GREAT 4th of July Weekend!!
