Monarch Butterfly at San Juan Capistrano Mission in southern California. A little patience and timing was needed to capture the butterfly flying.

On a recent run up to the Adirondacks, I stopped under this 765 kV transmission line. It was raining and there was quite a buzz and crackling going on. My ticker was feeling a little quicker. I took two photos and got back in my rubber-wheeled vehicle as my hair stood on end. The image was processed later.

Windmills -- Wyoming County, NY, originally uploaded by rochpaul5.

Just finished putting up the grades for the summer session of Environmental Chemistry. Warsaw and Arcade. The schedule
this summer gave me a chance to see the vast investment in
wind power in Western NY. There were at least three major
developments with 60+ windmill each. I saw no dead birds

Democrat and Chronicle is promoting the Capture Rochester Photobook at Barnes and Noble in Greece tomorrow at 2pm. It's on my route, and they asked if I'd stop in for the book signing. Not really wanting to deface any of the great photos in the book, I'll sign on the title page if asked.

Checking out a car today w/ KT

Wilson Photo Club made its first field trip of the season to Genesee Country Village, Mumford yesterday. Here are few of the images that I took. The four students in my group shot over 10 rolls of Tri-X film ... developing and printing come next.

ts'ben a too long time ...

2008-09-18T20:23:00.000-04:00

... since I updated and I'm feeling a bit the slacker for it. Prevailing excuses are the many new job assignments coming my way in photography, a couple of art shows this summer / fall and a new semester for chemistry and photolabs at MCC and RIT. Least I could do is boink up a few photos though. They're coming soon.

Falling Waters

2008-07-20T10:45:00.000-04:00

One great thing about this part of the world is the abundant water, in the Great Lakes, in the Finger Lakes, in the thousands of lakes and ponds of the Adirondacks. Here's some waterfalls photos from the past month.

Capture Rochester is a new project that I've gotten into this week. The ice was on the porch window this past winter and the this fat cat is charging up his static electricity batteries and catching some rays. Make your votes and check out the book project.

2008-04-21T11:08:00.001-04:00

This past weekend was the 2008 U.S. Orienteering Championship Meet hosted by the Rochester Orienteering Club. It was a two day event in Letchworth State Park and Mendon Ponds. Participants from the Northeast U.S. and Canada ran courses that were set out to challenge their map-reading and navigation skills. The weather was summer-like and it was a great weekend. Photo/slideshow soon.

When we crossed the bridge this morning we saw the ice-fishermen were out on the bay. They'll be there until the bitter end of winter. Fixing pipes and running out of time. Seeds need to get started and I need to find a cure for the drips.

Cyanotype is a very old iron-based photographic process. The formulas are quite simple and safe to use. I'm teaching another cyanotype workshop in early May and will put a few more up in the blog.

Happy St. Patrick's Day !! Winter is winding down -- at least I think it is. This was taken last week on a swirly, snowy, sunny, windy day. I has three students for tutoring that day. It was quite a mix, AP Physics, basic math aimed at passing the US Army entrance exam and the dreaded fractions for fourth graders.

Slide Show ! I was just introduced to this application. Look for more of these in future

Shocking ..... absolutely shocking

2007-11-20T09:38:00.000-05:00

I certainly don't provide all of the energy, but at times it sure seems that way
Busy working on sports photo jobs, some Sr. pictures and the digital cinema and chemistry classes this fall, but as Thanksgiving week comes around, I've taken some time to look over some additional photos from this summer and fall.

Over and Done

2007-10-09T19:20:00.000-04:00

It happened after several delays. But it happened ...
last Saturday at dawn. Kodak Buildings 65 and 69
were demolished by dynamite (imploded). Here's one image of the decisive moment. More later. The news or Goo-tube have the whole video.

Artists' Row

2007-09-27T09:18:00.000-04:00

Well, For a long time I've been thinking to put some prints together for display/sale at art shows and I just had my debut at Rochester Public Market Artists' Row. This one was among the first to sell. This Saturday, I'll be at the North Winton Art Show, corner of Winton and Browncroft ... outdoors.

Marathon Day

2007-09-16T06:39:00.001-04:00

Droplets of rain on leaves and flowers will dissipate,
evaporate as the day and the runners warm-up.
This is another big day, runners on your marks ... set ...

See you at the turnaround in Fairport and return along the canal.

Think of Three

This Foggy Morning

Row of Maple Trees at Dawn as the Sun tries to Burn the Fog off

This foggy morning was the start to a very exciting day.
Excitement poured out from new students in uniform.
Posed and propped, the teams' looked good -- smile this way.
Then pack the flash and cards away, stow the lens -- more to learn.

Look 'em in the Eye

Meerkat at Cheyenne Mtn. Zoo, Colorado Springs, (2007)

Well, I've been a blogger for Kodak for about a year on some photography topics and it's high-time I spin my own yarn. I'm thinking to post photos and only few words. The title Snowflakes in Summer may mean something as this blog unfolds. For now it's just a name that I don't have the right words to explain. School starts next week. So I've been working up my classes and prepping for labs. Day one: get introduced, talk about the class and labs but most of all ... look 'em in the eye. And we'll take it from there. Materials and technology for Digital cinema freshman and Chem 100 for medical technology and nursing students.
