The Need for Peace

Hi everyone!
I've been insanely busy lately. I'm not complaining, but I just don't have enough time to blog about all the cool things I've been up to. The Free Press has me running around like crazy and I just finished up a couple of Vermont Life photo assignments for the summer issue. On Sunday I am off to a photography workshop in Cape Cod for a week. Too busy, I tell you. And wedding season hasn't even started yet!
So here I am, finally blogging about a war protest in Burlington that I covered on March 22nd...

















Peace!

Happy Spring !?!

When I think of spring I think of daffodils and green grass. I don't think of snow boots, winter parkas and frozen fingers. But living in Vermont, that is our reality. Love it or leave it. So when Easter morning arrives, we don't pout about it, we just don our winter gear, do a quick egg hunt and run inside to thaw out and eat yummy food. The funny thing is, my kids didn't grow up with the spring memories that I did, so they don't really know any other way.
I hope you had a happy Easter day!

Our family egg hunt...



Baxter is thinking...all right already, can we go inside and eat jelly beans now?

Later in the morning, our friends came over and we had a second egg hunt...

Yeti loved the hunt!



Sugar and spice and everything nice...
and you know the rest...

Summer caught in the act of sneaking goodies...

Frost-Freelance

As a freelance photojournalist, I get a wide range of assignments: from sports to profiles to press conferences to fires. But after many years of working for the Free Press, the assignments that I still have a hard time believing I am getting paid to do are "stand-alones". I am literally paid to drive around and find pretty pictures that don't go along with a story. Hence the name.

Since people are my all time favorite subject, I particularly love the slice-of-life photographs, which typically consist of folks out in the environment doing something or anything of interest. Even when I'm not on assignment I find myself scanning the scenery for these. It's a sickness really.

So here are a few of my favorite winter drive-by images...
