As I delve into my creativeness behind the lens, I even find more satisfaction and depth in the editing process as well.  I have been going back through older photos and re editing them with the creative knowledge I have absorbed in the past year.  So I hope you enjoy these great edits as much as I have enjoyed capturing and creating them…  From Watertown to Boston and on  Cape  Cod as well I bring you to these places as I tell stories with my work…

Watertown Massachusetts Image of the day 1/15/12

Well I hadn’t tried night photography before and it was a little or really  pretty chilly out tonight but i thought why not…

got the new tripod I got from my brother Rick out and put on a sweatshirt  skull cap and my winter jacket oh yeah some thick gloves too and set out to the Arsenal Street Panera where I actually work days right now as a delivery driver m-f.  Had a little food and coffee before I set out up onto the top level of the parking garage to get a few shots.  I got maybe 4 good shot s as I wasn’t sure what f stop would be best, I shot most at f22 but I am pretty sure somewhere in the middle would have given me better clarity and light.

This capture made me very happy, nice trail lights on a 30 second exposure and a fun little bit of editing in lightroom 3.6.  I love the editing part as much as the capturing part, it is always fun to experiment with different presets and see how the lights and darks work together to become an amazing edit.

Everyday I am learning and absorbing more information and creative ways to share my soul with you, so I truly hope you enjoy my work and my blog..  As I grow and my work grows I shall open my creative voice to you..  I hope you share this with others and become an active commenter as well.

Good evening or good morning as it is and God bless you in everything you choose to do…

~Make today a great day…

So what’s next for me, what is going to make you come knock down my door to have me capture your inner self  with my camera and keep you coming back for any and every need you have for photographs.  I am asking myself that same question right now, what is the marketing scheme or networking device that will help us build a relationship where you feel comfortable and trusting in me enough to say  ” hey Alan are you available to shoot me and my family this weekend at Craigville Beach?”

I have been learning, adapting and absorbing everything I need to build a solid foundation within myself to be more than adequately able to meet and exceed your needs as a photographer.  So in the next few weeks and months I would enjoy it if you had any ideas or comments that could help me along the way please don’t hesitate to leave comments and perhaps we could build a fun group of bloggers who help each other move forward together.

he can't open the door for you, but he will lead you to it...

What is this life for?  What does it mean to you?  These are important questions on the road of life to lead you where you are going, and it is ok if you’re not knowing right now…  Your path is set, the building blocks are there to build your soul to a  state that  brings your heart to see all the beauty that lies inside it.  The despair you may feel inside is only to cause confusion because if you knew how important you are then Satan would have no power and no reason to be there…  So lift up your spirit and the strength of your voice, for every road you travel down you always have the choice, so see a brighter present and the future too all you need to realize is that it is all within you!  The door lies right in front of you put your hand upon the knob and with no fear to fool you open it to your life and show others to as well.  For we are not here to be alone but to be together otherwise life’s no fun. And please as your walking slow your pace for the race is not worth winning, so stop every chance you can to smell the roses and watch  the sun as it rises and sets for those are the reasons to enjoy yourself and smile as you do.  ” God loves you and it’s time you do to”

Timing…….

by Alan Peter Scherer

Life would be better if you would let me be,
somewhere close through everything.
I would help you achieve
the desires of your heart.
Wander through life helping you see
how truely wonderful you are.
I want to caress your spirit help it shine,
see your smile as the moments pass by.
Our togetherness doesn’t need try.
Sharing each experience as life flys by.
Keep you close to my soul,
Hold your hand deep in mine

YOU have my TIME.

Cape Cod is know for it's great fishing..

Wellfleet is among the most picturesque villages on Cape Cod. Its rich history weaves a tale of sailors and boatbuilders, travelers and artists, and even ghosts and pirates. Here, in the pages of Wellfleet, trace the story of this fascinating village, from the old Congregational church steeple, which still tolls the hours according to ships’ bells, to Billingsgate, the lost island whose lighthouse and village were swallowed by the sea. Wellfleet’s history is undeniably tied to the sea. Of the many shipwrecks off Wellfleet’s shores, the most famous is the wreck of the Whydah—the pirate ship captained by “Black Sam” Bellamy. It sank in a storm in 1717, and artifacts from the ship now form a museum. Ruins of Marconi’s wireless station, where the first transatlantic communication was made, are still visible on the dunes of Marconi Beach. The fishing boats still leave the harbor every morning as their predecessors did, and the remains of the old wharves, the shipbuilders’ shops, the customs house, and the lighthouse can still be seen today in a town transformed into a thriving artists’ community.

Woke up to the thought of warmer than usual weather and no idea how I was going to use it.  Then as I was looking at the news feed on my facebook page I came across my brother Rick’s status that stated”going to the Cape to check on Nana P. at CC Hospital”.  So I knew how I was going to enjoy this day, at the hospital visiting one of the strongest women I have ever had the grace to know..  She is 84 as of last Dec 17th and still smiles her best smiles and loves like it’s going out of style, and her laugh is to priceless for silver or gold.

I was glad to have had the opportunity to be part of the day with my sister Alison and her friend Deb, my little brother Rick and Auntie Pattie who is the youngest daughter of Jim and Mary Piersall.  One of 9 amazing children,aunts and uncles,mothers and fathers as well as just great friends to all of us grandkids.  I am the oldest of the 21 Piersall grandchildren, life is just starting to be what I have always dreamed so can’t wait to see what the Lord Jesus has in store for us next.  There are 15 great grandkids as well the oldest of which is my daughter Isabella who turned 11 last November and the newest angel who belongs to my lovely cousin Lisa and her husband of just over a year Jeremiah.  We are a family like every other, with lots of ups and downs, peaks and valleys to but to tell you the truth with out each and every one of us we wouldn’t be where we are today.  And that is a “FAMILY”
