New Webcam Shot, New Update!
2 min read
That was taken Easter, decided to dress up! Not too shabby huh?
What else is new? Work, work and more work! Did I mention work?
I HAVE gotten to chase, although nothing signifigant. Some hopefully amazing lightning shots coming your way!
Had a round of severe weather come thru NYC, NJ, MD, DC all around there, nothing in CT though. Would of loved to have gotten to be in NYC and taken some shots. I believe en EF2 or EF3 tornado did touch down in upstate NY or maybe PA, I don't remember. It's all a matter of time before CT fires up. Usually, it'll happen late May early June, then I will have some more amazing shots for you guys! Hopefully. I don't know how I am ever going to out do myself, but it will be fun trying!
I DO apologize and I am grateful for anyone who has not removed me from their watch or friends list.
I promise I wont disappoint.
Had a lot going on this past year, but I am deff on the right track now and hopefully a successful one.
Life hands you certian cards to play, not always the best but you have to make due with what you have!
Excited to share the new shots with you!!
Hopefully in the next couple weeks, when the storms kick up, I will have enough to upgrade and get this show on the road for you all!
Love and miss every single one of you!
Michael
PS don't I look spiffy?!

My Beautiful Minons!!

and I mean that in the most flattering way! I can't even begin to tell you what happened today!!! soulessrobin it finally stormed! 
MG: About 7:00 am EST, I woke up to this low peril rumble and I perked up and went "Holy Shit! it's thundering!" Naturally, I fell over a few things trying to grab for my phone, my camera and trying to get out of bed all at the same time, but unfortunally it was nothing signifigant to warrent pics. Few flashes, few rumbles and much like my sex life, it was over in an instant! (I am just kidding btw, I have no sex life!)
I feel renewed almost, I just sat on my porch and smoked my morning cig and just watched the rain. It was so extremly foggy out that I really regert not snapping off a few pix of the fog, because it was just something out of a spooky movie and I have woods in my back yard, lots of creepy dark and desolate woods, I should of gotten a few pix, damn it! Anyway, I am sure there will be many more oppertunities to come. This I am sure of. I think because it finally thundered, I actually feel like it's spring and that in it's self is very motivating.
I do plan on taking pix of other things in the world, not just the weather, although, the weather is what I am so passionate about. However, some of my best sellers on here aren't of the elements, but of random things in said elements. A Rose, frost, fungi on tree, droplets, things like that, so I know I shouldn't limit myself to just weather photography!! I know I am more talented then just that!
Anyway, I just had to come on here and brag so to speak! I know soulessrobin and I have been gazing at the skies with gapped mouths open, retarted looks on our faces saying to ourselves that we're not crazy, we are in fact weather enthusists (SP)! :LOL: So, naturally I had to kinda stick it to her in a fun way that I heard the thunder first! HA!
And now I go run and hide!!

Chase Fever?!

Yes, I have it and the days tick tick tick away ever so slowly...
Who else is looking foward to storm season? I know there's a few of you that watch me that are fellow weather junkies like myself!
I REALLY want to upgrade, because I miss having all the bells and whistles; however, I don't want to waste any time on the upgrade. So I decided not to upgrade until I get my first shot! That way I will be good and ready to go!
I know last year, according to you all; I put out some pretty amazing stuffs. I was really lucky and fortunate. The pressure of trying to top those photo's lingers in the back of my mind. I won't let any of you down I promise!!
I just wanted to let everyone know that St. Judes Children Hospital recieved a check for $245.00! This is all from my photography sales! I NEVER thought I'd sell even ONE, let alone $245.00 worth of photography! I can only hope to match or double that this year!
A lot of purchases have been from off site users, or people who aren't members. There has been a handful of member purchases as well, so thank you for that! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing it felt to mail that check in! I am giving by nature, so it was just a really grounding expierance. I know because of my photography and the people that bought my prints, that the $245.00 I donated will go toward helping these kids fight cancer, helping the hospital fund it's research, and perhaps help a family that couldn't pay.
In my eyes, everyone deserves a tomorrow; ESPECIALLY these kids. I know my photography is geared toward a very small fanbase, but I do try my best to put the best out there. I can't thank you all enough for buying my product. For whatever reason you had, it made a HUGE difference in not only my life, but these kid's lives too!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I hope to see more purchases in the future!!

Untouched and Unaltered!

I just wanted to bring to everyones attention that my photography is not enhanced or edited in any way! I am SO very thankful for all the favs that I get, but I have noticed that a few people have put them in their personal favs as "photo manipulations". I can assure you that they are not. Other then my frame work, watermark and minor adjustments to correct camera distortion; my photography is untouched and unaltered. I believe editing a photo (my photos) really compromises the integrity of the photo and naturally takes away the natural beauty.
I am beyond grateful for every fan, fav or purchase of my photography, so please don't let this clarification deturr you from further faving my work. All that I ask is that you please do not assume anything of mine is photo manipulated. If you have happened to put one of my photos in your personal "photo manip" favs folder; I ask kindly that you remove it from that specific folder and perhaps find a better home for it. I DON'T mean to come off as an asshole or arrogant, but I really don't want people getting the wrong idea about my photography.
Once again, I apologize for any inconvienance this may cause you, I hope you all have a wonderful day! Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Spring Fever!!
3 min read
Ok, so I have it! Spring and Chase fever!
Can't believe it's getting warner out, I am so stoked! Of course then, it snows, typical Connecticut weather. Well, actually it rained, but the air still had a bite to it.
So I decided to upload a new pic of me to my "webcam"! Since you all are probably sick of looking at the same one over and over again! This was taken about 5 or 6 days ago on a lunch date. Smoozing some clients! *coughs*
Anyway, I really want to apologize to everyone for my lack of uploads and or activity during the last 6 or 7 months. A lot of crap has happened and I really had to just deal with it. Everything from work, to ex girlfriends, to money, to taking on two jobs, it's just been really hard to not only get out and shoot, but to get on here peroid.
Been helping a buddy of mine who owns a bar, bartending on the weekends. I LOVE it, great people, great money, but it wipes my slate clean. I just can't function and that's after a normal work night, never mind when I don't come home! LMAO!!!
I finally decided to go on medication for my depression. I found myself in some really dark places lately and that has a lot to do with my personal life. People, or mainly a person, in and out of my life, just not a steady thing and I need that stability. I know we all have our demons and shit to battle, but if someone's going to be a part of my life, I think I'm worth more then just a half assed effort. It just screwed with me, my heart, my emotions, so having this medication I am sure will get me out of that "rut" I've been in for a while now.
You know when you find true happiness, there's nothing that can compare to it. No drug can duplicate that high. However, when you lose that happiness or the factor that contributed to said happiness; it guts you..deep..
So, I look foward to getting back on here again, doing what I love to do. I just can't friggin wait!! Spring and chase fever is creeping up my spine and I can hardly control myself!! Got my camera ready and I am waiting to go!!
Thanks to everyone for sticking by me and not giving up on me or my photography! You all mean the world to me and I hope I can impress you all like I did last year! Let's set the bar and go for it! Love and miss you all!
