Butterflies dancing- Photo by Kris J. Murante

I’ve been working on a project for a few weeks with a jewelry artist that gathers inspiration and ideas from the beauty and nature of her property in Honeoye Falls. I saw a butterfly dancing from Echinacea flower to flower. Following behind, from flower to another, was a second butterfly. While the project is very much about the beauty of the outdoors, I followed them for a few minutes and just thought it made a pretty image.

Another year covering the Warped Tour stop at Darien Lake. Each year seems to get hotter and more humid! This is Tyson Ritter, lead singer of All American Rejects, who probably had the biggest crowd of the day.

Six days old - 7/13/2010 - Photo by Annette Lein

I love photographing animals, sometimes more than people, so I was thrilled to be given the assignment to shoot the Labs of Love kids camp in Spencerport.  The camp helps socialize both the kids,dogs and puppies at breeder Lauren Erlichman’s home kennel.  Puppies are handled soon after birth. This little guy resting on one of the kids laps is only six days old.

While shooting the Weezer concert at CMAC, lead singer Rivers Cuomo grabbed my camera to hold himself up on the railing, and made this shot.

Dunk - 07/05/2010 - photo by Will Yurman

I was photographing at Camp Northpoint in Hilton this morning. Because of the heat the kids were in the pool. I saw a few boys playing basketball in the water, and the possibility for an unusual angle - I’m not usually tall enough to stand over a basket.  Michael Scranton’s intensity as he dunked the ball was a lucky break for me.

Mother Chambers - 06/29/10 - photo by Jen Rynda

This assignment was so sweet.  Nona Patterson Chambers of Rochester celebrated her 100th birthday.   Everyone at the party took turns speaking about their relationship with Nona and all referred to her as Mother Chambers.  One young man that spoke told Mother Chambers that he chose his wife because she reminded him of her. I thought that was just so cute.
