We left Wednesday morning around 8 AM. We didn't hit any traffic until we hit NYC, which is to be expected. It started raining right as we hit Mass and dumped about 4 inches in an hour with some severe lightning. We made a wrong turn and actually saw a car get stuck in an underpass because of all the rain. Thank god for the 4x4 Jeep, which made us tall enough to pass through. It pretty much didnt stop raining until the next day. Thursday brought on and off rain, but it was in long enough spurts that we were able to do some things, like check out a few covered bridges, one of which was the longest covered bridge in Vermont.

Friday it was really cloudy and foggy, but the rain held off, so we drove about an hour up into Vermont and went to Mount Ascutney. I believe the mountains highest peak was about 3144 feet in the air. We drove most of the way up, then hiked about the last mile up, which was quite a workout. It was certainly worth it though, as the top of the peak presented a 360 degree view of pretty much everything. That night, since it was July 1st, also the first friday of the month, the town has a "First Friday" much like that of ours here in Philly, so me and Kris walked around there at all the open studios and galleries, etc. We went into this Antique/Thrift shop, and inside was the owner, a hippie whom was jamming to some old school punk rock. It was most definitely the highlight of the day, and I also picked up this awesome vintage shift dress with anchors on the pockets. It needs a new zipper, and we're gonna take it in a little bit, then I plan on using it for some Pinup/Retro shots.

Saturday it finally cleared up, and I got to make use of the Polarizer. Man, I'm not really sure how I ever survived without that thing, its a friggin GODSEND. I had a shoot with a girl up there named Isabel, and we shot all over. And we got some awesome shots, we shot about 4-5 outfits, then we headed to the waterfalls and shot some nude work. The shots are amazing, and I'll have some samples posted hopefully by the end of the week. I have close to about 500 photos to review, I wanted to shoot more but the weather limited that.

Comments very welcome!

What you got so far looks great. Can't wait to see the rest. Vermont has some beautiful country to it. If you don't might my asking, what is the name of the falls that you shot at? It looks great and I might just travel that way for a shoot sometime. Kind of a bummer about the weather, but then again, I've gotten some of my favorite landscapes either before or after the rain. Anyway, good work!

Good stuff Jeremy. Like others have already said, you're getting better and better. I left a few comments.

I like it. Did you know this girl or was it a random girl you found there and got her to pose nude for you?
