Saucon Valley Barn Tour

Last month I attended the annual Saucon Valley Barn tour. This is the same organization I did the workshop with in spring. We had fabulous weather and a wonderful time. It is amazing to see some of the eclectic furnishings in some of the converted barns. The one home had huge sampling of Chinese art work (I wasn’t expecting to see that in a converted barn). The same home had a glass piece imbedded into the floor. It caught my eye and I included two images of the piece. When you look at the two images they are one in the same. One shot was taken from the first floor looking down towards the basement and the other taken from the basement looking up. I later learned the glass piece was used in sailing ships in the 1800’s to create light in the ship’s hull.

The 3 Jakes

On September 21st, I saw a friend/business associate perform at Bethlehem’s Godfrey Daniels. His name is Jim Gentile and his group is called The 3 Jakes. They are an eclectic folk rock band and this was there first appearance since 2003. The 3 Jakes last appearance in the U.S. was in 2000, when they opened for Little Feat at Allentown’s Crocodile Rock Café. As you can see they had the place rocking.

VIA Marathon

I was asked to photograph The Lehigh Valley Health Network VIA Marathon two weeks ago. It was an amazing experience, even though it required a 5:00 in morning start. Here are a few images from the day.

Faces of the Fair- A Black & White Perspective

This is a follow up to my last post. These images are all also from the Great Allentown Fair. However, these are all in black & white and as the title implies, they are faces.

The Great Allentown Fair

The fair and agricultural show is held at the Allentown Fairgrounds in Allentown PA. It is operated by the Lehigh County Agricultural Society. It is one of the oldest fairs in the United States and one of the largest in Pennsylvania. The first fair was held in 1852. There are so many photographic opportunities. It is sometimes difficult to decide where to point the camera. This is part one of two posts. These images are all in color. The next post will be all black & white.

Wheels of Time

Last weekend I photographed the 35th Annual Wheels of Time Rod & Custom Jamboree. The event is held every year on the weekend before Labor Day. The Wheels of Time Street Rod Association is a non-profit charitable organization dedicated to the art of street-rodding. The place is filled with amazing colors. During my visit, I was more focussed on some of the event’s activities and the components of the car, rather than the car itself.

Jazz Cabaret – Rob Stoneback Septet

I was recently asked by the Allentown Symphony Association (now Miller Symphony Hall) to be the Photographer of Record for their Jazz Cabaret Series. I was very honored to accept. Going forward my plan is to post a handful of images from each of the shows. If you enjoy jazz, as I do, they typically have an amazing lineup and it’s also an amazing venue with an incredible view of downtown Allentown. If you are interested in attending, the Jazz Cabaret Series are  typically held one Friday evening every month. Here is a link to their schedule: Click Here .

Here are a few of the images from my first shoot in June, 2013 with Rob Stoneback Septet.

Roasting Ears of Corn Festival 2013

I visited Pennsylvania’s oldest American Indian gathering last week at the Museum of Indian Culture on Fish Hatchery Road in Allentown, PA. There was Indian drumming, singing, dancing, food and more.
