Syracuse in November

I took these pictures in Syracuse, Tuesday evening.

Tis' The Season

The city of Syracuse's Christmas Tree was brought to life Friday evening.

Up until now, it's been sitting in Clinton Square with no lights on. I took some pictures of it, after the lighting. They didn't come out too well, because it was a little snowy. My apologies.

Snow!!!

I took these pictures in Sidney, New York (Delaware County) over the weekend.

Photography

I really enjoy photography. It's one of my favorite hobbies. I started shooting when I was 20 years old. Eventually I got pretty darn' good at it. In 2006, the Associated Press named me 'Photographer of the Year' (Small Market) in New York State.

In the last few months, I've been teaching myself how to shoot "still" photos. Most of the time I use video cameras at work, so I'm used to motion. Back in March I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX07 digital camera.

Here are some pictures I took with it:

The Great Out Doors!

More than anything, I really enjoy the outdoors. As far back as I can remember, I've always been fascinated with nature.

I was fortunate enough to grow up 25 minutes outside the Adirondacks. My family and I would spend most of our weekends in the Old Forge/Big Moose area. Oddly enough, I never saw any moose...hmmm...

I've climbed a number of mountains in the Adirondacks. Although, I still have yet to accomplish Mount Marcy. Mount Marcy, as some of you know, is the largest mountain in New York State. It's more than 5,300 feet - Which is pretty big compared to some mountains in the North East.

My friends and I are thinking about driving to Kingston this weekend. If we don't end up going to Canada, I'm going to suggest we climb Blue Mountain. Blue Mountain is a decent-sized hike. My mom climbed it in about 2 hours. Which means I'll finish it in 3.
