My photo
I been a professional photographer since I worked for the US Government documenting Test and Evaluation of Research and Development projects for the US Army and US Navy in the later half of the 1980s. I came home to Maine to finish my Marketing Degree at USM and began to work full time in Market Research and Marketing for many years while documenting weddings and occasional photojournalist and commercial jobs on the weekends. In 2001 I again returned to photography as a full time trade and have never been a happier man. I love working with creative individuals, couples, small businesses and select Non-Profits and can’t imagine working in any other trade. In 1987 I was lucky enough to wed my high school sweetheart and we now live in a cozy little solar powered, recycled bungalow a mile deep in our woods in the Western Hills of Maine with our two brilliant home-schooled teenage daughters and our three cats.

In Bloom, ForCynthia

When my mom was little my Nana used to tell her that Forcythia was "For Cynthia."
That has given me an extra smile while I've been enjoying these brilliant yellow expressions of New England waking up for a couple of weeks now.
Some of the other trees and bushes are also looking spectacular.

That's what I call them, too. My mother's name is Cynthia. You've probably noticed the big blooming Forcynthia in their driveway. :) Hooray for spring blooms!
