    Rinker Buck and Piper Cub for Flight Training Magazine / 08.05.13

    A few months ago, we headed up to the Berkshires on a beautiful night to photograph Rinker Buck for Flight Training Magazine. Buck’s a writer and adventure junkie, who achieved fame back in 1966 by flying a Piper Cub plane across the US with older brother Kern when they were only 15 and 17.  Yikes!

    Buck’s book Flight of Passage is an intimate story of this cross country adventure.  They had no radio and no lights.  They just headed west following rivers and landmarks all the way from New Jersey down to Texas and over the mountains west into southern California.  Later on they found out they were the youngest ever to fly across the US.  Our son Sebbie is reading Rinker’s book now…note to Sebbie (and Jude): don’t even think about it!

    We photographed Rinker next to a classic yellow Piper Cub in Great Barrington MA up the road from Buck’s home in Norfolk CT.  Rinker’s a great writer and storyteller…he wrote for the Hartford Courant for many years.  And he’s a really nice guy.  Rinker’s latest adventure was traversing the Oregon Trail from my home town of Kansas City to Oregon in a covered wagon pulled by mules…look out for that book coming soon!

    Reinvention: Amanda / 06.24.13
    I have three very, very good photography girlfriends who started getting together to talk shop a few years ago.  Breakfast once a month quickly became happy hour.  Last year though, one of us left to move to Vermont…which we knew was going to happen eventually since Amanda’s been talking about for years!  When I realized how different her lifestyle is now, I thought she’d be a great Reinvention subject…my project on women who reinvent themselves mid-life.  I asked Amanda a few questions that I’ll let her answer:
    –Why Vermont?
    Although I was born in Vermont I’ve never lived here full time. For at least the last ten years I’ve known that I wanted to settle in Vermont to raise my family. I love so many things about the state – the feeling and energy of the people who choose to live here, the amazing natural beauty, the wide open spaces, and the fact that so much of my family is here. All of these things were pulling me to move back here and throughout the last few years I’ve kept that desire and intention at the forefront of my mind.
    –How life is different now?
    Life just feels much more settled. When I lived elsewhere I was always looking ahead to the next thing knowing that Vermont was on the horizon. Now that I’m here I just have this inner peace and this feeling that things are right and as they should be. We bought our first house when we moved and I also think that owning instead of renting has given me a feeling of permanence and roots that I haven’t had in a long time – it feels great.
    –Was it was a risk for you and/or did you have any fears and how did you overcame them?

    The puzzle for us was always my Husband’s job as the work opportunities up here aren’t quite as diverse and plentiful as in Connecticut.  I wouldn’t take no for an answer and just kept believing it would work out, and eventually when he approached his boss about moving he was offered the opportunity to work from home – perfect! It’s been a bit of a transition for my business to still try and work with clients in Connecticut but it’s worth the extra logistics to be up here without a doubt.

    Well we miss you a lot but looking forward to more weekends away together!  You can check out Amanda’s business, Orchard Cove Photography, here.

    reStore: Dan “The Fix-It Man” Mahoney /

    When it comes to West Hartford Center, RLMCo are the local experts by far.  Richard Mahoney ran the commercial real estate management company until he passed away in 2011, and this tribute in the Hartford Courant shows how much he helped make West Hartford Center a better, more vibrant place over the past decades.  Today RLMCo is run by Richard’s son Mike, and his other son Dan is the property manager or “Mr. Fix-it” as he described the pitch his dad and brother made to bring him into the family business.  Dan’s  recently put in a thermopaned window to bring lots more light into the space…thanks Dan!  Love your beard by the way!  Dan’s hobbies include woodworking and raising labs (close to our heart…wonderful family dogs!)…you can check out Dan and his wife’s non-profit at labrescuect.com.  RLMCo is located at 10 North Main Street in West Hartford Center.

    reStore: John Bollash Wallpaper / 03.06.13

    If it’s Tuesday afternoon then John Bollash is getting his Zen on, wallpapering to the New Age sounds of WWUH (91.3 FM), the University of Hartford’s college station.

    We met John a few years back when he wallpapered our dining room and bathroom.  For the new studio, Shelley, our designer, pitched the idea of papering the ceiling with a big patterned Anthropologie wallpaper.  We almost passed on it…but at the last minute went for it, got John on the phone and he got it done.  So here’s reStore #2:  John of John Bollash Wallpapering in Manchester (phone 860.645.9343).  Thanks John, love the wallpaper!
