My New Website Drops Today!

You may be interested to know that I have a brand-new website, designed by Daniel Carter, that went live this afternoon. It features landscape work that was previously found on my main page, my wedding portfolio, a selection of portraits (including maybe of you!), various assorted projects, and a portfolio of heretofore unseen theater photography. It's all at www.robstrong.com. I hope you enjoy it, and that you spread word of it if you are so moved.

This blog will continue to be updated very infrequently.

Postcards for Sale!

Friends, followers, and countrymen: I am pleased to offer for public sale POST ROAD, a set of 12 color postcards depicting my cross-country travels. Contained in a hand-lettepressed (by me!) envelope, they are heavyweight, with ample space on the back for postage, message, and address.

They are for sale at my brand-new Etsy store (you can't miss them: there's only one product on offer). Their debut coincides with a new group show at the PhotoStop gallery in White River Junction, where, for the month of December, interested people of the Upper Valley can buy the cards singly or in sets, and purchase 11x14 prints of a mostly-overlapping selection of photographs.

Here are some images of the postcard set, and an installation view of the cards and prints at PhotoStop:

I went to the Dakotas

Sorry for the delay. I have put six new galleries on facebook, containing images from my summertime road trip to the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. They are organized into thematic categories. Click on the words at the end of this sentence to see more of: Road, Museum, Street, Food, Fair, Camp.

Below, a sample from each category.

Bigger Pictures

Monkeyed around with the layout of my website to give the pictures a little more room; this is about as big as they can get without exceeding people's MacBook display resolutions.

Thus: http://www.robstrong.com

Let me know if you have any problems, or if any of the images look funny to you.

Also, recently dug these two 4x5 frames out from hiding and had them processed. From last October's drive through Texas:

Remember Summer?

Sarah Overton is living it.

Omniblog

Patient readers, I'm sorry I have not had anything for you since November. Here's a megaupdate containing such things as might please you. (If you are a diligent follower of my facebooking, perhaps nothing here will be brand new to you. If it's any consolation, the photos below are displayed much larger than they are in the corresponding facebook albums.)

This past weekend, I took a snowy train ride to New York City to see friends, theater, and museums. Click to see an entire facebook album from this trip.






At the end of January, I dropped into Cambridge to see Gatz (again) with Tommy Dickie and the belowpictured Sarah Hughes. Facebook album.



Three and a half years ago I went to Turkey and Greece, and just now I got around to putting some of that stuff online. So it's a little old, but it will put you in mind of beaches during this dark time of year, and that's something. Click through to the album for a lot more action.





I had nothing to do with the production of the following video, but I was there, and I can confirm that the whole escapade was just as beautiful as this footage (especially the soundtrack) makes it seem.

If you've scrolled down this far, I have a prize for you: a legendary 2006 short film co-starring me as a Russian gangster. It has only recently come to the attention of the internet, and I could not be more pleased.

Coney Island

The beach in November. Click here to see many more, including ones with people jumping, and one with a dog jumping.

Dept. of Coincidence Dept.

See the groomsman escorting Jessica Talley up the aisle in Pennsylvania three weeks ago?


Turns out I had met him once before, shooting at a climbing wall for the Valley News in the spring of 2007:

Three more galleries

Here are three more collections of pictures from the last month. First, the road down (including the bike race). Second, the bachelor party and rehearsal dinner. Finally, the northbound return.

Mark and Annie Omnibus

Those of you who stalk this blog in anticipation of even more Mark and Annie content (or, for that matter, just more pictures of Joe Buglewicz getting beer poured on his head), your day has come. Go see this Facebook album for one hundred of my favorites.

And Other Birds

Nature Photography from the Driver's Seat

T-Bird

Championship trophy to Jessica for driving all 370 of today's miles and the last 100 of yesterday's. She's one day ahead of me on the hamfluenza agenda, so I hope to look and feel this good tomorrow:


She stood valiantly by with a flashlight (albeit pointed the wrong way) during Monday's blowout: (a million thanks to James for invaluable assistance)


The forests and farms of Pennsylvania stood no chance against her advances:

The Porcine Complaint

Lack of updates due to lack of pictures and lack of energy. Those two lacks due to condition of Swine flu in both Passenger and Driver. Satiate your content-lust at Dave Wanczyk's Dr. True's Soup and Read.

Joe Buglewicz

Many know him as one of America's top-10 photographers. Fewer know that he is also a top-25 photographic subject.







No Bugs were harmed during the making of this blog post.

UPDATE: I just looked at timestamps and realized that Sloan Breeden took the first picture with my camera while I was getting something from my car and told him to shoot for a while. Way to steal my thunder, buddy. I was pretty proud of myself for a while there.

The Mulligans

The wedding of a thousand photographers. And it was worth every one.

Rehearsal

Happy Bachelorday

Marfa

Even better in the sunshine.



Somehow even longstanding businesses in this town feel like they were designed by Donald Judd.

Pepsirise over White's City

Bunking down for the night in a near-deserted campground at the mouth of Carlsbad Caverns National Park. Deer are just all over the place.

Beeves

I drove this dirt road through central New Mexico for an hour today, and the only traffic I encountered in any direction were these two.
