As a new contributor to the Saratoga Snapshots Blog I thought I should introduce myself.<\/p>\n

\"thumbnail<\/p>\n

that’s me on the left and mr. peabody on the right<\/div>\n

I’ve been an architectural photographer for 25 or so years, making a living photographing houses all over the county.<\/p>\n

I’ve also had much of my work featured in national magazines, books, and in local
\ngalleries.<\/p>\n

\"26.<\/p>\n

our renovated farmhouse<\/p>\n

I live on a small farm, in a 220 year old Farmhouse on the Hudson River<\/a> (we just finished the renovation), just outside Saratoga Springs, with
\nmy lovely wife Lu, and our 2 horses, Mr. Peabody & Leroy, and Jerry the
\nGoat.<\/p>\n

Here are the official portraits of all of us. Yup,
\nOFFICIAL! More about “official portraits” somewhere down
\nthe road.<\/p>\n

mr. peabody<\/p>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

leroy & jerry the goat
\n“where’s mr. peabody?”<\/div>\n

I’ll be sharing with you, on a regular basis, some of my
\nphotographs, and thoughts, and might even throw in a photo lesson every now and
\nthen.<\/p>\n

Mr. P and I will be scouring the land, making some interesting
\nphotos to share with you.<\/p>\n

\"post<\/p>\n

my little slice of the hudson river<\/p>\n

Let me know if you have anything specific you’d like to see, and feel
\nfree to comment (good or bad!).<\/p>\n

See you next week!<\/p>\n
