Clean & Fluffy

Stella had her second haircut at Deborah's Dog Styles. She met a gigantic Goldendoodle. Stella looks like Quincy's Mini-Me. They even got matching bandanas & had a nice time playing with each other.

 

Of course we had to shoot some studio pix when we got home.

Fishing at Civil Twilight Day 2

Sunrise sandpiper looks for breakfast.

Rob can't decide whether to shoot or fish.

John can't decide whether to fish or shoot.

Rob's championship cast ...

... yields a BIG catch.

Hey let me go!

Pelicans

I could've spent all day shooting this rusty nut & bolt! Love it!

Fishing at Civil Twilight

John gets his rig ready.

This is the BIG one that got away! I'll bet it was a big shark!

Rob only caught seaweed ...

... but still had a great time.

Sand texture

Seafoam ... looks a little like South America.

The boys pack it up so they can go to work.

Last Day in NY

Amy brought Bailey over to my mom's house. He's Stella's brother & looks just like her. I got a great greeting. He really remembered me from his puppyhood.

Stephen invited us to his beach house for dinner on the way to the airport. London Broil, fresh Long Island corn-on-the-cob, string beans, Asian glass noodles & salad. It was fab!

Royal Pains

Royal Pains was back to film another episode at Catalina today. I got to watch them last year when they shot the pilot episode.

I missed some good shoots with great photographers this year .. Victoria Secret, Maxim & Allure.

The cafeteria

Cafeteria wall shot with iPhone 4 & processed in Photoshop Mobile.

They started building this set at 4am. It's supposed to be a fitness room at Ms. Newberg's oceanfront Hampton's mansion.

Sandy was on the phone giving orders while Larry & Wendy enjoy watching the big production shoot.

Dr Hank (Mark Feuerstein) told me he liked my camera as I was shooting this pic.

I was bummed this guy with the camera was blocking my shot of Dr Hank & then I realized it was The Fonz (Henry Winkler).

Members flanked the set on the beach to watch the filming.

Annual Family Beach Party

Over & under beach race.

The twins. Cal ...

... & Penny

Whoever didn't leave early got to be in the family photo at 5pm.

Dinner in the cafeteria ... Greek salad, fried calamari, rigatoni, fresh steamed veggies, corn-on-the-cob, chicken parmigiana, steak, shrimp & salmon.

Summer, summer, summertime ....

JAX-JFK-CBC

I took a 6am flight to JFK. The weather was beautiful so I went to Catalina with mom, Hank & Adam. I think I got the cabana boys in trouble when I asked Sandy where the flags were. She made a call & minutes later the flags were all up.

I never noticed this number carved in the door of one of the owner's cabanas. Shot with the iPhone 4 & processed in Photoshop Mobile.

Sandy hates that I amuse myself by shooting over 50 years of accumulated paint drips. I actually prefer peeling paint & rust but I'm trying to expand my horizons.

I'm not sure why I always like shooting these flags.

Sisters

Stella & I had special visitors today. Her sister Bretton came over with Barbara & Charlie. The pups look like 2 different breeds but they're both Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. Stella has an Irish coat & Bretton has an American coat. Eventually they'll both be the same light color.

Bretton is so fluffy & still has all her black tips!

Littermates

Charlie & Bretton ... so cute!
