In May of 2008, Alison White, our office manager at Gondola Adventures Inc. here in Newport, shot this of me rowing off with a bride and groom. Moments after the photo was taken, we lashed the gondola to a buoy in the bay and I performed their wedding ceremony. Yes, I’m a very dangerous man – I can get you in all kinds of trouble.

The day after Valentine’s Day of 2009, John Kerschbaum and I took out a ten passenger flotilla. I shot this photo of the bow of John’s boat, while rowing mine.
The photo was nice in color, but when I dropped it down to monochrome it really “popped”.

8/17 – Ina Logo
This began as a photo taken of Ina Mierig in Hamburg, Germany.
After she sent it to me, I played around with it and ended up with what you see here.
This rendering has also been used on embroidered shirts given to friends of the Gondola Society of America.

This is one of my favorite blog headers. It was shot at the second Sunset Gondola “Pilgrimage” I attended on September 3rd, 2008.

Many photos depict places you’d like to be. Once in a while a photo makes you wish you were part of the action – that’s what this photo did to me. I saw it and immediately said to myself, “wow, I wish I’d been there for that experience”.

I shot this on December 30th of last year by putting the camera on a tripod, setting the camera for a long exposure, and firing with a remote trigger. If you spin the boat and hold still, you can get some cool images.
