Abandoned Resort
«« prev | next »»
Another shot from the 4-wheelin' tour we did on the honeymoon. More photos here
Here is the back story:
The Sandy Village Beach Resort opened in 2000 or so. It was one of the first resorts in the Punta Cana area. Unfortunately the beach was lousy. Small and full of sharp coral. Word began to spread about how bad it was. People with reservations started cancelling. People stopped coming altogether. The bank foreclosed on the resort. The owner skipped town. The staff, (unpaid in 2 months), got wind of this. They showed up to work like any other day, but then proceeded to loot the place. They took everything they could. Once people in the 2 nearby villages saw people walking up the streets with toilets, sinks, mattresses etc, you can only imagine what happened next. Every thing was ransacked. What was left, got destroyed by Hurricane Ivan. Now it sits abandoned. It was going to become a paintball spot, but rumor now is that the bank will someday try and reopen it.

Northern Wish
Neil sitting in again while the happy couple is away. This was shot on our way home from Manitoulin Island this summer. Shot from the A.Y. Jackson lookout near Sudbury. In 1953, A.Y. Jackson, founding member of the Group of Seven, painted "Spring on the Onaping River" from this vantage point. Beautiful spot and a cool Canadian moment.

Ol' Tyme Photos
«« prev | next »»
We haven't been out shooting lately. We are in the final crunch before the wedding. The only photoshop work we have been doing is restoring wedding photos for us to display. The set will be black & white, but this photo had a natural sepia to it that punched out nicely with some contrast. Thought we would share a bit with you. These are Melissa's grandparents on her Mom's side; Joffre Bruno and Jeanne D'arc.

In The Movies
«« prev | next »»
Some kids have all the luck. Imagine hangin' out with dad on a friday night driving around in his old Ford as part of a movie. These cars were heading back to the studio after an afternoon of shooting some stuff for "Flash of Genius." A little soft on the focus but I barely had time to even pull my camera outta the bag as they zoomed past. -shot by Ryan
