Fairfield Men's Lacrosse

2011-03-15T18:46:00.000-04:00

I got the chance to watch my brother, Shawn Honovich, play against Vermont University so I brought my Canon 5d mkII with my 100mm f2.8 IS lens with me. Although this combination was quite slow while tracking it did a great job capturing some tack sharp images. They won by a score of 9-6.

Spent Some Time In Aruba...

2011-01-23T11:02:00.000-05:00

I spent some time in Aruba recently and although it was a not for business I managed to get some time to shoot. I used my Canon 5d MK II with 100mm f2.8L IS , 17-40mm f4.0L and 50mm f1.2L.

Xtreme Texas Offroad Hare Scramble @ BVORR 12/4-5/2010

2010-12-05T18:56:00.001-05:00

On Saturday I raced in the hare scramble held by Xtreme Texas Offroad but Sunday I was a bit too sore to race. So I decided to grab some pictures of the 1 hour and 2 hour races. Overall it was a great event and can't wait to race in another one!

I have not posted in a while because I have been very busy but I continue to shoot as much as I can! Today I went to the JETS Game and grabbed a few shots while at the game.

My new pup...Thor

2010-07-17T18:07:00.000-04:00

Meet Thor (first picture), my new 15 week old male American Bully. He has only been a part of my pack for a few days now but has already integrated well. At the moment he is living with Beans (second picture) and Niko (third picture) but Rex (fourth picture) will be joining us shortly.

MOROC Extreme Off Road Racing- Brazos Valley Off Road Ranch Event Coverage...

2010-04-26T16:43:00.001-04:00

I had the opportunity this past weekend to cover the MOROC Extreme Off Road Racing event being held at Brazos Valley Off Road Ranch in Bryan, Texas. The weather was perfect, the track was very technical and fast and the competition was fierce; I could not have asked for a better weekend of racing. There were a fair number of roll overs and lots of broken parts which kept things interesting. The race teams did all they could to keep their rigs finishing the event. A few teams even worked late into Saturday night to fix the damages from the day and to allow for them to be back on the track Sunday. All in all it was a great weekend and I wanted to thank MOROC for putting on the event. Most of the shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 100mm 2.8L IS Macro.

Nothing says spring in Texas like Bluebonnets...

2010-04-13T23:54:00.001-04:00

I decided to go out and grab some shots of the famous Bluebonnets here in Texas. Everywhere you look right now in Texas you will see a field of Bluebonnets. So I went out with my 1d mkIII and 100mm 2.8IS L and found this bee busy spreading the pollen and thought it was an interesting shot. I will be going out a few more times while I have some down time in my schedule and shooting some more macro shots.

Some macro shots with Canon 100mm 2.8 IS L

2010-04-10T00:40:00.000-04:00

It has been quite some time since I have had time to post up any updates to my blog. My current schedule has kept me very busy so I can't complain but I wanted to load some recent snap shots with my 1d mkIII and 100mm f2.8 IS L. These shots were taken without a tripod and the help of only 1 flash (580 ex II). I can not say a single bad thing about this lens besides that I regret not buying it sooner. I am going to be posting a lot more macro shots in the near future as I have rekindled my love of macro photography.

The Houston Zoo

2010-01-07T21:14:00.001-05:00

I recently took a visit to the Houston Zoo while I had some down time in my schedule. It was a rather cold day to go to the zoo but the animals didn't seem to mind as much as I did considering they were all out and fairly active. I brought my 1d mkIII and 50mm 1.2L and 100mm 2.8L IS Macro along with me to grab some snap shots of some of the animals. All in all I was happy with how they turned out given the overcast conditions I faced.

Brown Bear Getting Into The Christmas Spirit...

2009-12-20T19:03:00.000-05:00

Brown Bear was sporting a new jingle bell collar and I figured I would snap a few pictures with my 1d mkIII and 50 f1.2L.

St. Kitts- Banana Bay

2009-12-19T22:15:00.000-05:00

Well as my time in St. Kitts is coming to an end I realized I didn't have any photographs of one of my favorite beaches in St. Kitts; Banana Bay. The beach is located on the far end of the peninsula, off to the right of Cockleshell and Reggae Beach. The entrance to the beach is a bit hidden if you are driving straight to it but you can park at Cockleshell and walk to it. The water is as clear as can be with some great snorkeling just off the shoreline. One of my favorite parts of this beach is the fact that you are typically the only one there making it one of the most relaxing and calming places in St. Kitts. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 f4L.

Brown aka Kool-aid...

2009-12-10T14:00:00.002-05:00

We were lucky enough to have Brown become a pack member in late November 2009. He initially presented for what was thought to be TVT. After some testing was performed he was diagnosed with cutaneous hemangiosarcoma with metastasis present in his lungs. The preputial mass which had been slowly growing for nearly 9 months was finally removed yesterday (12-09-09) removed at ROSS university community practice. He will have a few days to heal and then chemotherapy will follow. Brown is one the best dogs I have ever had the chance to be around. He should really be called Mr. Freeze because he is so chill and calm. Right now we are going to give him the best chance to beat the cancer while maintaining a good quality of life. We hope he pulls through. These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 50mm 1.2L

WRX's Last Beach Day In St. Kitts...

2009-12-07T07:31:00.002-05:00

Last Wednesday Rex boarded American Airlines, with my brother, and made the trip from St. Kitts to New York where he will reside till I come back to New York in late December. Before he left I wanted to get a few more beach shots of Rex so we went to the beach and I brought the 1d mkIII and 70-200 f4L IS combo. The sun was starting to go down which made for some great natural lighting. All in all I got the shots I wanted and he had a blast playing with his buddies on the beach.

Booby Island Adventure

2009-10-11T15:29:00.004-04:00

We decided to go out in search of sharks in St. Kitts. Booby Island is located in the channel between St. Kitts and Nevis. It has been known to be inhabited by a wide array of sharks so that is where we decided to go. We used pig blood (pictured above using the canon G10 and underwater housing) and chum to attempt to lure some sharks close enough to the boat to photograph them. The pig blood was one of the most putrid smelling things on earth and if there were any sharks near they would have smelt it for sure. The entire boat nearly vomited when we dumped some out into the water. While we were waiting for the sharks to come we spent some time fishing and caught 7 gar as pictured above. Unfortunately we didn't get to see any sharks but we did have a great time hanging out and stopped on the way back to do swim for a bit.

St. Kitts- Cockleshell Beach

2009-09-06T14:09:00.002-04:00

Cockleshell Beach is one of the nicest beaches in St. Kitts. It is everything you picture when you think of a Caribbean beach with its blue water, white sand and palm tree filled beach. Lion's is a place to hang out and enjoy real Caribbean food and drinks while at Cockleshell and there is also Spice Mill which is a newer more classy place to do the same. Either way you can't go wrong. While relaxing on the beach you get to see St. Kitts sister federation, Nevis, off to the distance as pictured above. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

St. Kitts- North Friars Beach

2009-09-06T13:46:00.002-04:00

North Friars Beach is one of my favorite on St. Kitts even though its very few people go to it. In fact 99% of the time you will be the only person on this beach. This is due to the fact that the water is very rough and has a very strong rip tide which has claimed several lives. I often bring our pack of dogs here to let them run free. This beach is also a very popular sea turtle nesting site so you must tread lightly to keep from disturbing their nests. These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

My First Jeep

2009-08-29T12:54:00.004-04:00

Well I never liked jeeps much but I guess I never gave them a chance. I was always a fast car guy but when I came to St. Kitts for school (Ross University of Veterinary Medicine) I stumbled across a 1995 Jeep Wrangler 2.5l 5 speed. It took only a few weeks before I became a diehard Jeep nut and I recently purchased a 1987 Jeep Wrangler with a 4.0 HO swap, d44s and a bunch of other modifications for when I come back to the states. Needless to say I don't think I will ever be without atleast one Jeep in my garage. Although I will be adding another Mitsubishi Evolution to my garage but not until I am done with clinics. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

Young Blood

2009-08-29T09:52:00.003-04:00

Only in St. Kitts will you find a barber shop named Young Blood. Interesting choice for a name but none the less its a nice little shop. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

Some Aerial Shots Of St. Kitts

2009-08-28T19:38:00.003-04:00

A while back I went up in a helicopter to take some shots for Timothy Beach Resort. While up in the air I was able to get a couple shots of the St. Kitts peninsula for myself. It was my first time being up in a helicopter let alone taking taking pictures in one but I was able to get all the shots I needed and the client was more than happy with the final results. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

It's Working Or Is It???

2009-08-28T19:26:00.002-04:00

With elections here in St. Kitts nearing I figured I would post up some of the political signs that are scattered across the land. The PAM (People's Action Movement) party represent the yellow and are the party trying to take over the government while the red represents the Labour party that is currently in power. I try to stay out of politics but it will be interesting to see how the elections turn out whenever they are finally held. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

Rex showing off his skills...

2009-08-14T21:06:00.002-04:00

Rex was out playing and decided to grab a shot of him in action. He can jump quite high when he wants to, he can easily clear me in a vertical leap. These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

UPDATE: Wall E Squared AKA Gregory

2009-08-14T20:55:00.005-04:00

Well its been nearly a month since Wall E Squared aka Gregory found us so I wanted to give everyone a little update on how he is doing. He is now with a new family with a little boy that absolutely adores him. The little boy actually renamed him Rex. He has really filled in and is doing excellent. Last weekend he went on a hike for the first time and had a blast. In the near future he will be getting neutered now that he is in better health. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

Wall E Squared AKA Gregory

2009-07-17T20:04:00.003-04:00

Well today we got Wall E Squared AKA Gregory. He is from the same parents as Wall E and Panda but from an earlier litter. He is extremely thin and has a good share of ticks and other parasites but in time he will come back to full health. Before meeting our pack we dewormed him, gave him a bath, applied some tick/flea prevention and took him for a nice long walk and he quickly acclimated. These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 70-200 4L IS.

Classic EVO vs Corvette picture...

2009-07-13T20:22:00.005-04:00

Well after digging through some old photos on my computer I came across this image that quickly became an internet favorite. I still get a laugh out of this one every time I see it. The photo was a group effort between a couple of my friends back when I first was getting into photography. This shot was taken with my old XTi and 24mm 2.8.

Pandito got some new wheels...

2009-07-05T15:43:00.003-04:00

Well we finally decided to get a cart for Panda. His rehabilitation was stunted with our previous methods so we started to look into alternative methods and came across Pet Mobility Rehab Center (www.petmrc.com). After speaking with them on the phone we were sold on the idea and ordered one up. They even offered that if Panda outgrew his current cart we could exchange it for a bigger one. About a week later we recieved a nicely powdercoated blue canine cart. It had lots of adjustments to make it fit perfectly and it also has the ability to allow for Panda to still use his back legs. This was a really nice feature because hopefully he will be able to build up enough muscle to one day walk on his own. Until then he will be flying around in his new set of wheels and loving every minute of it. He is finally able to be a real dog! These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

A hike with the pack...

2009-06-28T17:20:00.005-04:00

Well I finally had some free time today so I did a hike. It was a mountain that has a pond filled with guppies at the peak. Its not very deep and its not very big but the dogs certainly love to cool down in it once they get there. These shots were taken with my Canon G10 because I didn't feel like lugging my 1d mkIII today.

St. Maarten Local Art...

2009-05-10T09:02:00.001-04:00

While walking through St. Maarten I came across this shop and just had to take a picture. The colors were just so vivid. The place was called Escargot and I believe it was restaurant but I didn't go inside so I could be wrong. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L (this combo was pretty much all I used the entire trip besides a few shots with my new canon G10.

St. Maarten Sunset...

2009-05-10T08:59:00.003-04:00

The sunsets were absolutely breathe taking in St. Maarten. Here was one of my favorite shots from the two sunsets I got to see. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

St. Maarten Nature Preserve...

2009-05-10T08:53:00.002-04:00

While cruising around the island we came across a nature preserve and it truly was an amazing place. It was very well kept and the wildlife was just wild to see. A tour guide showed us a lot of the local aquatic creatures that lived in the shallow waters as seen above. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

St. Maarten Sunset Bar & Grill...

2009-05-10T08:43:00.006-04:00

Well while I was in St. Maarten for the weekend I had to make a trip over to the famous Sunset Bar & Grill. It is located right before the landing strip at Princess Juliana International Airport. As planes come down they very very close to the beach. These shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L to give you an idea of just how close the planes fly here. In addition when they take off you can feel it from the beach and its so strong that it will nearly blow you off your feet.

Civic Si 4dr...

2009-05-04T20:20:00.003-04:00

Well I haven't done a HDR shot in a while so I grabbed one of my friends new civic Si 4dr. This was a 7 shot HDR taken with my 1d mkIII and 17-40 4L.

Wall E with the new G10...

2009-04-30T11:08:00.002-04:00

Well I sold my 40d and wanted to pick up a more compact back up camera. I decided on getting the new canon G10 and what a great decision that was. It truly is an awesome little camera and with only two days of shooting with it I know I made the right decision. Here is one of the first shots taken with it.

Lakeland Panas Varsity Boys Lacrosse

2009-04-30T01:02:00.004-04:00

Last stop was my younger brothers high school lacrosse game. Again the weather was terrible but the 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS held up perfectly and allowed me to grab the shots I needed.

Fairfield University Men's Lacrosse

2009-04-30T00:58:00.003-04:00

Then it was off to Fairfield University. The weather was terrible as it was quite gloomy and there was a constant drizzle. I was very glad I had the 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS as they are both very weather resistant and really proved it after almost 2 hours in the rain. All in all I was able to grab the shots I wanted and was glad I went.

Manhattanville University Men's Lacrosse

2009-04-30T00:52:00.003-04:00

Next up was Manhattanville University. Turned out to be a beautiful day to shoot and got some really great shots of the game. Again I used my 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8IS.

Lakeland Panas Varsity Girls Lacrosse

2009-04-30T00:46:00.005-04:00

Well last week I decided to take some time to shoot some sports as my family had games all week long. The first game I headed off to was my younger sisters high school lacrosse. I shot the whole game with my 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS. The weather was great and couldn't ask for any better of conditions.

2009-04-16T15:15:00.002-04:00

Well I came across some monkey's and was lucky enough to have my camera on hand and just shot away. These were two of my favorite of the bunch. All shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS with 1.4x II.

2009-04-16T15:13:00.003-04:00

WallE decided to go for an adventure and when he came back he was covered from head to tail in these black seeds. It was quite comical to see. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

Snapshots of the pups...

2009-04-10T20:50:00.002-04:00

Its been forever since I have taken pictures for personal use but today I decided to grab a few quick snapshots of my pups. These were taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

2009-03-24T18:08:00.002-04:00

Today we got to re-xray Panda and he is showing great improvement. The kyphosis is not nearly as bad as it had been but there is some scoliosis forming. Between the xrays and lack of pain in the area; the spondylitis looks to be ruled out. He has been going through lots of physical therapy and with each new day he gets that much better. 4 weeks ago he could not walk due to the paresis in the hindlimbs but he now can walk short distances.

WRX turns 1 year old...

2009-03-23T20:10:00.002-04:00

Today my baby boy turned 1. We threw a little party for him with the rest of our pack and he loved to wear his birthday hat.

Military Trail Hike

2009-03-02T21:06:00.003-05:00

Finally got some free time so I took the pack on a local rain forest hike. It was a blast and a nice change of pace from the usual daily grind. At the top of the trail I snapped a few shots with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L (my most common combo now-a-days).

Kyphosis puppy...

2009-03-01T21:42:00.005-05:00

This is a 5 week old mix breed that we are working with (and may add to our pack) because he has kyphosis of his spine in the thoraco-lumbar region. As a result has no feeling in the hind legs but does have motor reflexes and can move the limbs (although they are severely atrophied). He was unable to walk at first but after a few days of good nutrition and lots of stimulation he has begun to stand on his own and attempt to walk. We hope that in time he will be able to walk on his own. These shots was taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

EVO...

2009-02-07T21:43:00.003-05:00

I haven't had much time to shoot lately but grabbed a shot of my 1.5 year old APBT named EVO. This shot was taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

Wall E...

2009-01-29T15:58:00.003-05:00

Meet Wall E, named after the movie, he is the newest member of the pack. He lost his limb in a dog fight at the age of 4 mo and received no medical treatment until now (2 mo later). He will likely need to have at least part of whats left amputated otherwise the skin will never heal. Even though he has three limbs it certainly doesn't slow him down. He truly is a great dog and we are so lucky to have him. The shots were taken with my 1d mkIII and 50 1.2L.

RJ and Kristin

2009-01-24T17:13:00.007-05:00

Last weekend I got the chance to do RJ and Kristin's engagement photos. They were by far the easiest couple to work with. So natural and relaxed in front of the camera and it really showed in the photos. I wish all couples were this comfortable being photographed. I shot with my 1d mkIII and a variety of lenses from the 17-40L to the 50 1.2L to the 70-200 4L IS.

Mr. WRX aka Rex...

2009-01-16T18:28:00.003-05:00

Well I have been pretty busy lately with photography but haven't had much time for myself so while I was sitting in my house I grabbed a quick shot of my growing pup, Rex, who is a 9.5 mo old American Pitbull Terrier. He just got finished running on the treadmill and posed for me as I shot him with my 1d mkIII and brand new 50 1.2L.

2006 M z4 Coupe

2009-01-01T16:28:00.003-05:00

While I was back in NY for the holidays I set up a photoshoot with a 2006 M z4 coupe. The car was immaculate in and out. The rolling shots were taken with 1d mkIII and the 17-40L while the static shots were taken with the 1d mkIII and 70-200 4L IS.

Christmas Eve...

2009-01-01T00:30:00.006-05:00

Here is a random shot of our Christmas tree taken on Christmas Eve. I used my 1d mkIII and 17-40L for this shot.

NYC trip...

2008-12-30T00:56:00.008-05:00

I had the opportunity to take a trip down to NYC on the 19th of December. It turned out to be a wonderful but freezing winter day. I did some shopping in between my site seeing just to keep warm. I took all shots with my 1d mkIII and 17-40L.

Walter Panas vs Peekskill Varisty Girls Basketball

2008-12-19T01:34:00.005-05:00

Today I got the chance to shoot some high school basketball (my sister is on the team). My sisters team lost by 8 but made a nice come back in the last 5 minutes even though ultimately they couldn't pull off a win over Peekskill. From a photographers aspect, it was your typical poorly lite gym so I used my 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS for all the shots.

St. Kitts Landscape

2008-12-16T22:21:00.004-05:00

Here is a HDR shot of one of the views in St. Kitts. This shot was taken handheld with my 1d mkIII and 17-40L with 7 exposures.

Largest Full Moon In 15 Years...

2008-12-12T21:56:00.004-05:00

This was shot with my 1d mkIII and 70-200 2.8L IS with a 1.4x converter. I had to take advantage of the largest full moon in 15 years. I just wish I had one of my bigger lenses with me to get a little closer. I guess I will have to wait another 15 years.

Bill and Arielle

2008-12-09T17:11:00.004-05:00

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing an engagement session with Bill and Ariel; they were an absolute blast to work with. If all clients were this great to work with I would have a very easy job.

Green Vervet Monkey

2008-12-06T22:43:00.003-05:00

This shot was taken several weeks ago in a friends backyard. I was out taking pictures and saw this guy at a distance and was able to get a quick capture before he vanished into the trees.

Shipwrecks

2008-12-06T19:49:00.006-05:00

Here is a HDR shot of a local beach called "Shipwrecks" here in St. Kitts. This shot was taken handheld with my 1d mkIII and 17-40L with 7 exposures.

Welcome...

2008-12-06T15:17:00.002-05:00

This is my first of many posts to come on my new blog. I will be updating it as much as possible and trying to post pictures regularly as well. Above is a shot taken before my rugby game against Windsor in which we beat them 112 to 0. It wasn't a pretty game to say the least.
