Alyssa's First Soccer game

This past weekend was Alyssa's first soccer game. Can't wait for the weather to completely break as she has been practicing in the living room the past month.


Look Mom, one arm

Wait, let me show you how I can balance the ball on my toe

C'mon, don't make me run all the way back - I'm open

Family Session in the Rain

We used the arch to shield us from the light rain we had while doing the session. The rain wasn't bad - it only seemed to be raining in Valley Forge, the wind was the killer. The wind wouldn't blow until I put my camera to my eye. Here are a few shots...

Infrared Monday

Last Monday the girls had off from school. Morgan went with her friends to the movies so Alyssa and I decided to walk High Street and take some pictures. I took my digital infrared camera and Alyssa had the trusty vacation digital. I have been shooting B/W infrared since high school when my photo teacher gave me a roll. The images were awesome, very dream like. Kodak recently discontinued the film but for the past few years I've been using a digital converted IR camera. It was simple, take it apart and remove the IR block filter, attach a IR filter on the lens and you are in business. I will be sharing more of the IR images in the future as the spring/summer foliage returns.
Most of the shots here are Alyssa's. I just had fun walking around with my daughter and seeing what she saw.

Happy Birthday Evelyn

My BEAUTIFUL wife is having a Big Birthday today. I have a surprise for her today and I can write it here because she never looks here. Well, maybe, just incase she does - I'll post it later after I bring it home. I hope the kids will help take care of it.
Happy Birthday Baby.



Ev's brother came in from Phoenix for her birthday. It was fun, but I couldn't share my secret with my best friend. Even when his plane was late and she was getting ticked off.

Shooting Cars

I've been shooting some EXTREMELY nice automobiles this week. Here are a few detail shots.

Finally

My website has been updated.  The original site took a total of 25 minutes to do one afternoon five years ago and it hasn't been touched since.  A good friend of mine who works in the high tech computer industry showed me a few small things to get what was online out there on the World Wide Web.  So it was a freebee and it showed.  Take a look...

www.dlutzphoto.com

I am very happy with it.  I wanted something simple, quick to load and easy to navigate.  I see many sites that have so much that it takes a while to view.  Or there is music that will blast through the viewer's speakers.  That could be a problem for a bride that may be checking out a photographer's work during company time.  

Anyway, check it out.

Goblins Hockey

Here is my hockey team the Goblins. Since the rink finally put in some new lights, the old ones were ten years old and spaced to far apart creating dark spots in between the fixtures - I was able to bring my camera to the game and get a few shots of the guys between shifts. These are from tonight's - or I should say this mornings game.

Team shot thanks to Mr. Stauffer.  Left to right standing Dillon Schlesman, me, Shane Wronowski, Brad Okoniewski, Jeff Stauffer, Jay Young, Fred Neumann, Dustin Sechrist, Dil Schlesman, Ron Neilson.  Bottom row - Terry McCarrick, Brandon Zanan, Gene Thomas, Tiffany Neumann.  Missing - Tony Dorsogne, Sean McGinley, John Haibach, Brian Baker, Tom Quinn, Bill McCarrick, and Brett Marquardt.

Fred cutting to the slot.

I have a lot of fun playing with these guys.  Even though sometimes the scoreboard doesn't show it - we play hard and support each other - no I in TEAM.
