Free Canvas Print!

Hey gang.  My apologies to my fans who have been missing my blog. I promise*, that if the Mayan end of world prophecy on the 21st turns out to be a bunch of hooey, that I'll be back in full swing in 2013!
It's been a busy month, with the Gilford craft fair on the 1st, and the Belknap Mill Artisans Bazaar today and 2 hours a day commuting to and from work. What a drag. It's cutting into my shooting and blogging time.
Anyway, I've been busy promoting things on the EmerysIsland facebook fan page. Once I get to 100 LIKES, I'll be holding a drawing for a FREE 16 x 20 Canvas print of my work (winners choice). And I need to get to 100 by the end of the year, so please Like it and Share if you could. I'd certainly appreciate it.
*Also if I get to 100 likes, I'll be blogging actively next year. So, if you want to hear more of my ramblings and see more of my work....Spread the word!
And now I'm home, pooped from a long day on my feet, but it was a good day! Met some really cool people. Fellow photographers and other talented crafters with some really awesome stuff.
Here's some shots from the mill area.

“Beauty in Everything”

Bandstand at Rotary Park, Laconia NH

  “What started out as a hobby, learned from years of taking pictures of my kids, and then years of admiring their artistic talents, has turned into an all-consuming passion. I seem to find beauty in everything, and enjoy sharing that with others. I get the biggest personal satisfaction from seeing people look at my work and smile. Or listen to them reminisce about going to some of the places in my pictures. I love the stories, and get so charged up when I see that my work has touched someone.”

    "Emery is a resident of Gilford, and a founding member of the Gilford Clickers Photography Club. The club meets at the Gilford Public Library on the first Tuesday of every month. You can see more of his work at www.EmerysIsland.com."

And on Saturday, Dec 1st, Emery will be at the Gilford HS craft Fair from 9-3. Hope to see you there!

Busy Boy...

So, what's been happening lately? For the last week, I must admit that I haven't had much time to use my camera. "What?, Emery-say it ain't so!" It's true. Some friends here at the campground bought a new trailer and moved to a new site. And they offered me their 40' deck if I could take it apart and move it in 2 days. Well, not one to miss out out some demo and building opportunities, I jumped at the chance. I had it taken down in pieces and moved 1/2 mile in 8 hours.

And then the fun begins. putting it back together...Which is not as quick as taking it down. Had 1/2 of it back up at our place in a day and a half. And my back is feeling it. I'll take my time here on in and try to finish it in the next couple of weeks.

1/2 way there!

Less than 4 more weeks to go before we move back home for the season. Boo! Really enjoyed the campground lifestyle. Met some really nice people and made lots of really good friends.

Also, what else has been happening? I redesigned my website with help from the guys at MyProPhoto .Thought it needed a fresher look. Check it out at EmerysIsland.Com. Let me know what you think!

And now I'm waiting for the print of the Covered bridge I took for a client last week. That will be in by Friday, and then it's over to Kevin at U-Frame, We-Frame in Laconia for, no, not framing..., but mounting. They do a great job of mounting on laminated wood. Love it!

And thought I was done....nope....client wants another Covered bridge...So this weekend, Sue and I are on a road trip. I printed off a list of the covered bridges in NH, and this weekend I'll try and build up a bigger portfolio of them. We'll start close to home. There are 3 more within 20 miles of us.

As a parting shot for today, here's the covered bridge over the Contoocook River in Henniker, NH

Stay dry my friends. There's some nasty rain and wind happening outside...
