Another shot from Plymouth Plantation

We visited Plymouth Plantation this last weekend and got some interesting shots.

La Salette Shrine

Went to La Salette shrine last night to capture some Christmas lights. La Salette is known for it's Christmas lighting however we found it a bit over the top. Not a lot of unique shots so we made the best of it by experementing with shutter drag with zoom effect.

Washboard Man

Trumpeter

Decided to try artistic rendering of some of the New Orleans pictures. Let us know what you think.
Other ones will follow.

Craig Tracy - photography

When we visited New Orleans, we had the chance to visit one of my favorite photographers. He is actually a body painter and knows how to translate his work well into the photography medium. Check out his work at www.craigtracy.com.

Find copyright infractions ...and stolen cameras.

Hey all you fellow photographers. Have you ever wondered if your art/photos have been stolen and used on the Internet? Here is a site to check out. I haven't tried it yet but give it a try and let us know what you find. This could be one of the best thing for professional photographers since the digital camera. http://www.stolencamerafinder.com/

Micro Rose from mom

This is the rose Alissa's mom gave her the other day. Just for you Barb....

Happy Thanksgiving to all

Steve found a new site to show pictures on

Steve was looking around for new marketing channels and found www.fineartamerica.com . He signed up and posted his information and a few initial favorites to test the waters. While on the site he found his brother Ken Eis is on it already. Now he has to get Alissa on it too.

Welcome to our blog

This our first blog entry for Coolwaterstudios.

We did our second art showing this past Friday. It was at St. Luke's school in Bristol RI.
Setup was much easier since having been through it once already. We continue to learn and refine our display and we hope it will be even better next time.
Some specific areas we need to address is how to make sure the pictures hang level and get the sign to look better. See our display here...

We didn't sell much but there was a lot of interest and admiring passers-by. We did however, get some leads for a high-end consignment job and a couple of wedding possibilities.
Our next show is this December 4th. Details are posted on our web site www.coolwaterstudios.com
