This is my Mom and Dad not long after they started dating. They're so young and carefree. And both of them were gorgeous.

These shots are from my folks honeymoon in Miami.

Gotta love that hat. She looks like a pin up gal.

Like a couple of glamorous movie stars.

I love this shot of my Mom. She must have been 16 or 17 years old. She was always very beautiful, but this also shows the inner light that made her so special.

Civil War reenactment.

I found myself on Governor's Island this past weekend where an encampment of Civil War re-enactors were teaching us all about the Civil War. They were all wonderful models, and I had a great time afterward working on the post processing of the image. I did research on Matthew Brady, who was a famous photographer of the period, and worked hard to come up with an approach that looked authentic to the period. If these folks went to so much trouble to dress and act authentically to the period, it was the least I could do.
