I was approached about a week ago by a friend who works for the non-profit Lift about filming an quick interview with a musician. The musician, two time grammy winner Ben Harper, would be playing the Life is Good Festival and they needed a videographer. I referred them to my former roommate Joe Gaetani who runs Burlington, VT based Rightside Productions for the job.Meeting up this past Saturday

There are a lot of things that I love about Cape Cod. Warm water, white sand, good weather and sunshine. It's made all the more better when you have good people to share it with. Today (Saturday) was no different as I was asked to photograph the joyous union of Erin Sullivan & Andrew Kirk on the shores of Buzzards Bay in West Falmouth. What a blast! Here's a few images:They're definitely related.

I had the pleasure of attending the 1st Annual Hummingbird Music & Arts Festival which took place Wednesday at the Showcase Live in Patriot's Place next to Gillette Stadium. The festival, which showcased local musicians & artists, was in memory of Elizabeth Giordano, who passed away in May of last year from a car accident in Vermont.

Early this spring, I received an assignment to shoot Barre, Vermont for Mountain Bike Magazine for a feature they were doing on "Blue Collar Towns" in their July issue. Since the issue has been on newstands for the better part of this month, I thought I'd share some of the other photos that didn't run. All photos were taken around the Millstone Quarry.

While sorting through photos from this past season's work and seeing the amount of fun my friends and I had during the numerous trips, it's easy to forget that being a professional in the industry does require a large amount of work.

With two days of rest and catching up on emails after my trip to Reno, I headed back on the road to Loon Mountain this past weekend to shoot for their brochure and website. Despite the 2:00 a.m. wake up & departure from Cape Cod, I was pretty excited for most of the 3 hr 20 min drive to get up to my home resort and shoot the sunrise atop North Peak.

It was my first time to both Nevada (it took me all seven days to say it correctly) and California and I shot probably 20 gbs of photos.

After spending nearly a month on the road which took me from Massachusetts to Quebec to Colorado for the SIA tradeshow in Denver and the XGames in Aspen, I spent the weekend "decompressing" at my family's house in Lincoln, NH. It was good to spend some time in a familiar location, and even better to make some turns at my home resort of Loon Mtn.

I've added another camera body to my inventory of photo equipment. I'm now the (very) proud owner of a Canon 5D MKII. While I've been away from my iMac and had little chance to work with the files, the limited time that I have had to bring them up in Photoshop on a large screen has been awesome. Oh yeah, it shoots video. F'n awesome!Shot by Joe Gaetani and myself. Edited by Joe Gaetani. Check out

I got lost on the way back to Burlington from the 2nd stop of the Winter Dew Tour at Mount Snow. Sometimes it's good to find your way on a dirt road in the mid of the Winter season. Here's a shot from that drive that I've recently made into a 12x18 print.untitled

While checking out a friend's blog & artwork here, I stumbled upon this video of a flash mob's tribute to Michael Jackson. While not a fan of him or his music, this is still pretty impressive. That, and it's fun to recognize a place you've been to in a foreign country.

Recently I've been updating my library of images. It's a process to say the least and I'm finding that I wish I had done things differently at the start (read: add keywords!). However, it has presented me the chance to take a look back at the photos I've shot in the past and see how much I've (hopefully) grown as a photographer. In doing so, I've stumbled across one of the first shots that I

I've returned from a relaxing weekend on Nantucket despite the hectic nature of Figawi. For my second trip to the island, both of which were during the Figawi yacht race, it was nice to slip away from the crowds in the center of town and explore the periphery; enjoying a more even pace of surfing (despite the lack of waves) and skateboarding (despite my non-skateboarding) and great food &

From Newschoolers.com"Tonight is a very special night at the Jon Olsson Super Sessions in Åre, Sweden. Out of all the crazy parties that go down in this town during JOSS, the most anticipated is always the infamous rocker party (last year's was the sweetest party I've personally ever been to, being that I'm a huge 80's metal head), and tonight's installment will surely be no exception.

I survived the first night out at a Euro Club with everyone. There was a lot of techno, expensive drinks and faux hawks galore. We're on a weather hold (as far as we can tell) so I'm taking the time to update email, twitter, facebook, newschoolers and keep my family & friends informed. No pics as of yet but I'm sure they'll be more coming later as I hit the town to shop for the 80's Rocker Party

I departed Newark at 5:30 p.m. after spending the morning with my girlfriend and her family running small errands (read: getting "happy flying pills" at CVS) for the trip and taking a brief walk in the woods with their dogs.

As a kid, my passion was Legos. I loved Legos. I used to spend hours constructing cities out of little plastic blocks from Denmark. Now my passion is photography. Here, I've found the two have been combined by photographer Mike Stimpson who has recreated some of the most iconic photography of the last century. Check out his flickr page here for other images.

Perhaps I was suffering from the Winter doldrums but I felt the need to try a self portrait. Here's the result:I shouldn't have to wait long to actually get out and shoot outside of my house as I'll be heading to Nectars tomorrow night to see my good friend Kelly Ravin begin his Wednesday night residency. I'd encourage anyone to check him out; show starts @ 10 p.m. Nectars has been one of my

I've just launched my website for 2009. Kapitol Photography dot com is finally launched and features a more coherent example of my work. You can view it here. I've also designed and have had my business cards printed.Also, a good friend of mine, Joshua David, has released the first of three EPs from his new work: Mr. Adaptation; free and worth checking out. In other news, I'll be heading down

Burlington, VT is a pretty sight to see during the holiday season. Add the recent snowfall we've had and the lights really shine, reflecting on the snow. Here's a few long exposures (both well over 2 minutes) captured on Church St last night resulting in some shots and frozen toes.Enjoy.

I was very excited to get a copy of the January issue of SKI Magazine. You'll find within the East section that they've published a photo of mine (the very 1st publication in a Ski Magazine for me) of Jeff Curry in Le Massif, QC. You can find out more about the trip I went on with Meathead Films last year, as well as more photos, at:Journey to Le MassifHere's a scan image of the magazine with

I was in Boston recently and found myself viewing the city from the 8th floor at the corner of Beacon and Mass. Ave. Here's what I saw:

After a little hiatus from my photo blog, I've decided to get back on the wagon and begin posting again with some of my favorite and/or current work. Also, the permanent website may have taken a back seat as winter's approached and with that comes the ski season. Speaking of the ski season, it officially started for me at Jay Peak, VT with friends for their opening day on November 22. Here's a

After another big move (I'm now located in downtown Burlington) I'm beginning to settle in for the upcoming fall and winter seasons. Check back soon for the launch of the new KapitolPhotography.com.

Day 1After a small hiccup @ Logan (arriving at the airport as our flight took off), I find myself finally in Beijing after about 14 hours of travel. The flight was smooth and it certainly was an experience to fly over the Artic Ocean through Siberia to arrive in the city on, what I was told, a fantastically clear day. No smog.My father and I hit the ground running, only having a few minutes to

Finally after a year of not having a website, I've just begun to lay the groundwork for a new site that I'm hoping to have launched come the end of September.Stay tuned.

After an extended break without shooting much, I'm back with a bunch of new images. Just tonight, I was down at Higher Ground in South Burlington shooting My American Heart's set of the Stay Classy Tour that featured Rookie of the Year, The Graduate, PlayRadioPlay and Secondhand Serenade. It's late and I'm tired but I figured I'd post a few pictures.Enjoy!I was able to borrow a friend's Canon 5D.

I was on Cape Cod for the 4th and was asked to photograph my adorable cousins. Here's a quick preview, more to come later.
