A Glimpse of 2010!

Rick O — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 19:01:45 +0000

At the end of every year I try and put a slideshow together – - some photographers do a “Best of Year” presentation and I think that’s really cool, but I prefer to include the images of captured moments where the subject and myself were being goofy or silly. Herein you will see goofiness, seriousness, emotions, fun and even some bloopers so-to-speak!

I thank everyone who was a part of 2010! Out of over 12,000 images delivered, it was hard selecting 200 or so! Don’t blink or you might miss one!

Random 2009 Images!

What an incredible year this has been and it’s just the beginning!¬† I think I have met more people in the last 365 days then I have met in my lifetime, and it thrills me.¬†

I have a story for every¬†newborn, toddler, child¬†and couple I have met this year; many moments I will never forget and I am grateful for all of the individuals who have crossed my path this year.

I’m not a “picture perfect” photographer! What I mean by that is my goal is to capture “moments” as they unfold; to capture “personalities” of individuals¬†that depict “who” they “truly” are and to provide individuals and families with those moments that they can cherish forever.

I put together a slide-show that I feel depicts “personalities” if you will, of 2009!¬† After delivering 9,877 images this year and photographing a walloping 94 sessions, I went nuts cutting down on my initial image selection!¬† I had to toss out some really great images and choose “personality” over “picture perfect images!”

I would like to thank Robert Norman & Steve DePino for their never ending support, advice, feedback and constructive criticism they have given me this year.¬† It is so greatly appreciated and has been undeniably beneficial to me personally and professionally.¬† Thank you guys…

Hope everyone enjoys the 2 minutes of 2009!

Manners Matter

I feel like I always say on such and such a day bla bla bla… On Saturday I had the tremendous opportunity to head on down to the Burroughs Community Center in Bridgeport to shoot the Manners Matter 2009 class!

Manners Matter is a program which teaches our youth proper etiquette! I was amazed as the students were speaking how little I knew and that I ought to attend one of these classes myself. I never knew that your plate should be two fingers from the edge of the table!

It’s an awesome program – Shawna Ryan from Channel 12 News was also there covering the event!

The executive chef for the event!

A couple of the coaches!

One of the assistant chefs putting all the fixings’ out!

And this little girl was absolutely adorable!

Some of the incredible food that was prepared for the event!

Jared James' Book Signing at Borders

Jared’s Book “Enjoy Success Today” has been doing quite well, so much so, its on the best seller’s list. Yay Jared!

This afternoon I had the pleasure of covering his book signing event at Borders in the CT Post Mall.

Here are several of my favorites from the event

Prior to Jared getting seated in the big book signing chair, we went outside for a couple of minutes!

Had to definitely take a shot from behind Jared to show the crowd!

I really am diggin this shot of Jared, one thing I really noticed is that Jared really pays attention to people when they speak, he really has an interest in hearing people’s stories, which really shows who he is as a person and his character.

Jared, your book signing was a great success, as always I am wishing you the best!
