What’s New

I would like to argue a point about Buffalo being the “Snow Capital”.  Seems to me that Washington, DC and Baltimore have much more snow than us this year.  So, maybe people outside of Buffalo should give us a break.

I am excited about the new pictures I just printed in the darkroom. I brought out three new images from my hot air balloon ride over Tuscany, Italy.  It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and the pictures make you feel like you were there standing next to me.   I love the new Irish landscapes.  They truly capture the green  landscape of Ireland.  From Greece I have three new sets: Greek Cafes; Greek Harbors; and dogs hanging out on Santorini.  Look these up on the New Shots From La Shot page.

Check out my Show Schedule to see the my spring lineup and come to the shows to see what’s new from the darkroom!!

Against all the odds, I am celebrating 26 years in business.  I can not say it feels like just yesterday when I started doing shows.  So many things have occurred over the last 25 years.  I married my wife Kristie, had two wonderful children, Kelsie & Jaryd, moved home and business twice, buried both parents, have done over 700 shows, traveled thousands of miles in 37 states and 7 European countries and have taken over 50,000 pictures.  At the shows I have survivied floods, tornados, 100 degree days and snow storms.

    Maybe it does not feel just like yesterday because I am turning 51 years old in February.   Wow, I have been doing shows for half of my life and have had the most amazing experiences.  I have two families, the one in Buffalo and the exhibitors on the show circuit are my family when I am away.  I found out early that you are never alone at an art show when you need help.  When you are sick, when a relative dies, when your booth is damaged by a storm, whether you are happy or sad, there is always somebody to help or talk to.  It is an amazing blessing!!!

    Last but not least I need to mention my customers.  I always say my customers are my friends and are the best.  They have been so loyal and kind over the years.  We have laughed and cried together.  We have put wonderful groupings together and so many of my "babies" have found happy homes.   I hope to share many of my greatest memories with you this year.

    Thank you for all those memories and I can not wait to create new ones with you this year.   My spring show schedule is up so let’s get together and share some good times and talk about the old.
