A Graduation - UMASS Med - Worcester MA

My Son graduated from UMASS Medical School with a Master's degree in Nursing on June 7th. Here are a few images of the graduation and how in the end, everyone gives in to their little sister

The Gazebo - Norwood MA

The gazebo on the town common in Norwood, MA is the site of band concerts, the awards ceremony for the kids Fourth of July parade, zillions of prom pictures, and billions of get togethers. It comes alive after dark when the lights come on.

The Second 4th of July Parade 2009 Norwood MA

Later in the day, the main 4th of July parade takes place in Norwood. Led by fire trucks from every town near by, this is the highlight of the day.

This parade brings it all back, the history, the pride in country and the love of family. The country takes a break from the rush and hurry.

We see that family and friends really do matter

Fourthof July Kids Parade 2009 Norwood MA

The kids parade in Norwood is a lot of fun. The town basically closes down for a couple of hours so that hundreds of kids can come down the main street to the town common

They are dressed as famous people, the Statue of Liberty and flags are everywhere. It's a great day and the kids and everyone else just love it.

And I get to capture it all!

Snow White - Norwood High

I recently had the honor to photography Norwood High School's production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

I've seen most of these actors in many other productions. Their talent continues to amaze me, but what is most interesting is how accepting they are of the roles they are given. Big or small they jump right in and do a great job.

I too jump at the chance to capture all the action, drama and comedy .. both on and off the stage.

The Fourth of July Hat - Norwood MA

I know it's still a month away, but I'm the kind of person that can listen to a Christmas song in June ... which I did last night by the way, so it's time to get up and out your "Fourth of July Hats".

What? You don't have one? Show that Red White and Blue!

Like the other "one day holidays", the Fourth of July seems to stop time and helps us remember what is most important in our lives.

One of my favorite parts of the day is the Children's Parade in Norwood MA. The kids, or more likely, their parents dress the kids as little patriots and Presidents. Then literally hundreds of them come marching down the main street.

Everyone turns out to share in the event and to see those crazy Fourth of July hats. And I'm there capture it all. I can't wait to share this years images with you!

Graduation Day UMASS Medical

Today is graduation day for my Son at UMASS Medical.

He was certainly destined for greatness. A great ice hockey player, always loved working with kids (and still does) but what a surprise when after graduating from Quinnipiac University with a degree in Bio-Medical Science ... with a minor in Psychology he'd then head off to UMASS to get his Masters degree as a Nurse Practitioner?





I will be photographing again today. Just trying to capture another moment in time. This is a once in a life time experience, just like everyday.

I don't mind getting older, well, I mind a bit I guess. I think it's more that my kids are on their own now and I am too.

One day I'll look back on this day with pride, but I know that I had nothing to do with it.

Water Fire - Fire Water - Busler Captures it All

Each summer Providence RI presents an event called WaterFire. It's an artistic, romantic, warm, family-oriented ... thing.
The river that runs through Providence comes alive with outdoor bon fires lit in firepits that are spread out on the river. It was something to see for sure. But it was a lot to take in as well.
Millions of people, OK, thousands of people were there. Some sitting along the banks of the river, others walking, some there hanging with friends (as I was).
I heard that there were people dressed a statues and so we went in search of them.
We soon found these "statuesque" folks and I knew that they had to be photographed... actually with me Everything HAS to be photographed ...HA!

Pretty amazing, Huh?

The Wiz of OZ - Shot just for you

You might think that it's easy to put on a school play. A few rehearsals, some simple costumes and makeup ... what else is there?

I've had the opportunity to shoot thousands of images and every time I am amazed at the dedication and talent these actors put into the production.

Ursuline Academy (an all girls school) in Dedham, MA recently put on the Wiz of OZ. Since it's an all girls school, they have to "import" the boys for their plays. These lucky guys I should say. But this time it was all girls and one just one guy.

The video is a look at the production. I hope that you will enjoy it
