TRACY WEISS PHOTOGRAPHY

Snowy, Icy Narnia Snow Palace Back Porch Photography

2011-01-27T18:47:00.000-05:00

Holy lots of snow, Batman! As of 6:42 pm my driveway still is not plowed. The snowbanks separating Willimantic sidewalks and roads are neck-high, and the ice is dripping off of gutters everywhere, creating sculptural formations...and I LOVE it!

I took advantage of a work cancellation this morning to do a short photo essay illustrating the winter wonderland that is my fire escape. Beware: there are adorable cat photos in this album! You may be overwhelmed by cuteness.

Check it out on my Facebook fanpage. And if you have the gumption, while you're there, toss a "like" my way!

Stay safe and warm...whether walking, or driving...and enjoy the snow!

Social Networking...necessary yet distracting

2011-01-26T22:43:00.000-05:00

Oy vey! I have been hard at work trying to make Tracy Weiss Photography a strong internet presence. As it turns out, there is another Tracy Weiss Photography...in California. Maybe we can trade places? I prefer warm climates!

The business is growing as I have some excellent new business cards designed by the fabulous Cat Olson, soon (fingers crossed) to become a contributing blogger on this site. I won't show you the cards just yet...I'll let Cat tell you about them.

I also have a very cool advert. that was made by the most efficient and impressive graphic designer, Dana Haddad. The ad is currently being featured in the program for "The Day Boy and the Night Girl," a brand new musical at The Spirit of Broadway Theater in Norwich, CT. My promotional photographs for this show have so far been featured in the Norwich Bulletin.

To sum up, the past two weeks have been a whirlwind of stress and excitement!

More of Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers

2009-09-17T13:14:00.003-04:00

I've been doing some more editing for Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers. They have some new recordings in the making, a website coming soon, and possibly a very good manager...keep an eye out for their upcoming album!

Portraits of Scott. Shot at Waterford Beach and Harkness Park yesterday.

Self Portrait in Scott's glasses.

This is my favorite shot.

The Self Portrait Sessions

2009-07-02T19:56:00.004-04:00

Today I took some self-portraits. I'm pretty pleased with how they came out, and I have some new ideas for my photo shoot with Maggie in October. I have been getting really into mirrors and Christmas lights. I need to move away from this as I end up very sweaty (too many lights producing heat).

Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers...Take 2

2009-06-28T23:51:00.005-04:00

The Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers photo-shoot series continues...
Today we strung up even more lights and added more continuous lighting with umbrellas. I shot these standing on a chair, trying to navigate umbrellas, in a very confined space. Very precarious, but very worth it. They are coming back for an outdoor photo-shoot next week. Send me your ideas! I'll be hitting the sketchbooks tomorrow.

The Farrel Goldberg Wedding

2009-06-28T14:18:00.003-04:00

Here are a few select shots (from hundreds!) of the wedding of Sarah Goldberg and Mark Farrel. It was such a beautiful wedding, and I wish both of them happiness in their marriage!

Sarah looking ethereal amongst the trees.

My favorite shot!

Groomsmen.

Beautiful Jocelyn

2009-06-28T13:03:00.004-04:00

I dug up some old photographs from a photo-shoot I did, exploring some new lighting equipment. Here is a beauty shot of Jocelyn. I love the lighting here, and I hope to be able to recreate this with Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers (the band I am working with now). I will have to train them to "work the camera"!

Billy Keane and the Lonely Soldiers

2009-06-28T12:49:00.005-04:00

I am doing a photo-shoot for the up-and-coming band, Billy Keene and the Lonely Soldiers. Their website forthcoming, but hopefully I will be able to post some links to their music in the next few weeks. I will be doing three photo-shoots with them with three different set-ups of my design. This is a very exciting project for me, and I have been madly sketching and testing lights and flashes.

This first photo-shoot called for a LOT of lights, and some good times taping, overloading electrical circuits, and trying to pose the guys in a very confined space! These are a few of the test shots. Today we'll be setting up even more lights, and hopefully getting some better shots.

This shot came out pretty grainy, but I like the idea of the futuristic black and white shot with lots of lights and reflective surfaces. The boys actually like the grainy, under-produced look, so maybe I will try to recreate this look in the official photo-shoot. Check back soon!

Dear Visitors,

In an effort to not consider myself a serious photographer anymore, I have moved back to blogger. This may or may not have anything to do with my losing the login information for my website. So should desire to learn about my photographic endeavors, come here instead of there.

Most Sincerely,

The Committee for Posting of Photographs of Maggie Colburn on the Internet
