Hangin’ by a thread
A few months back I put out a casting call that I was looking for some dancers to collaborate with on some kickass photo ideas I had stewing about in me’head (did that sound British? Jess and I watched “Sweeney Todd” last night and I’ve had Johnny Depp speaking in British in my head all [...]
A quick look through the archives
While pulling images from my archive in preparation for next weekend’s Get Lit workshop, I thought it might be cool to share a few images that have yet to see the light of day. Just a short post today, heavy on images. Many of these are from shoots I’ve already blogged, but for whatever reason, [...]
Where did all the art go?
View Gallery
For those of you who have known me and been following my work for a while, you know that I first fell in love with photography shooting sunrises and sunsets while umpiring in the Florida State League in 2006. Since then, both my printed and online portfolios have been made up of both a [...]
Website outage
Just a quick post tonight. My Web site will be down for upgrades on two nights in the upcoming weeks. Friday Dec. 11, from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. and on Wednesday Dec. 16, from 10 p.m. to 1 a.m. My blog will still be online though, so if you’re up surfing at 4 a.m., [...]

I just wanted to share a few quick images from yesterday’s amazing wedding of Lindsay and Matt. I’m getting ready to hop a plane back to Boston, and there are many, many more images to come, but these area few of my favorite. [...]
St. Louis: The Gateway Arch

I’m in St. Louis for tomorrow’s wedding of Lindsay and Matt, but I had a few hours free this afternoon, so I took a ride downtown to the famous Gateway Arch. (Can’t come here and not see the Arch right?) I wish I [...]
Welcome to the new dougblogs.com
Before I get down to some serious blogging action (I have at least 4 posts backlogged that were waiting for me to put the finishing touches on this site), I wanted to write a quick introduction to my new blog.
First off, this blog would not have been possible (well, not this year anyway, it would [...]
Photos are up at Barnes and Noble
Hopefully many of you saw my Drinks are on Me! post last week and will be joining us on Monday over at Barnes and Noble in Walpole from 6-9. Today being the first day of October, the photos were hung this morning.
Don’t be surprised if I um, move my office to one of those tables [...]
The Drinks Are On Me!
So here’s the story…a few months back I was hanging out in my local Barnes & Noble when I noticed some pretty sweet art hanging in their Starbucks. It didn’t seem like your typical “corporate art” – you know, the generic watercolors you often see hanging in hotels – so the gears in my brain [...]
Quick Post: Syracuse Farmer’s Market
Just a quick post today. Jess and I took a ride over to the Syracuse Farmer’s Market before heading over to campus for lunch. I shot this playing with my new 24-70 and my closeup filter.

Eastern Market: Washington D.C.
Spent the weekend in Annapolis, and took a short train ride into Washington for lunch with my sister. She was even nice enough to put up with my pointing my camera at her, well, a lot.
I think this first photo is proof that even little sisters can look like grownups, you know, once in a [...]
Harrisburg: Cityscapes
I’m trying to force myself to get out and shoot more, and to that end, I went for a walk yesterday in downtown Harrisburg. I really wish the postal truck wasn’t in the first image (I know I could clone it out, but then it would seem less genuine), but overall, I like both of [...]
Gettysburg: History Visited
I’m in Harrisburg (home of my homies Ed and Bill), enjoying a day off so we headed over to Gettysburg for a few hours. Thankfully the rain held off as we took the guided audio tour of the historic battlefield, cemetery and visitors center.
On a more technical note, I shot almost wide open all day, [...]
Miami: One from the Road
Just a quick post today, as I’m running out the door here, but I wanted to share this image from last night. We took a crew roadtrip to Miami for dinner, and I snapped the above image at a traffic light near downtown.
In the majority of my work, I strive for tack sharp images, but [...]
Spring is on the way
With spring training just two and a half weeks away, I stumbled across this image from extended spring training a few years back and thought I’d share.

Blingfactor: I’m a Chump?
Today, I bring you something a little new and different, and totally un-photographically related. Before I get to that though, I wanted to share one image from Saturday’s shoot of Cody and Jude with my friends over at MKD (that’s Jude above).
More to come from that shoot later this week when I get home and, [...]
A new way to follow DLP
Yeah, DLP (no, not the HD TV technology, douglaslevyphotography) – I’m taking a quick break from Get It Off! prep to let you know that I’ve added a link to the upper right (lookie, lookie), that now allows you to subscribe to my blog via e-mail. For those of you who might not do RSS, [...]
Taking its toll on us all
I hate to compare myself to ballplayers (wince), really really hate to, but my dad sent me this and I had to post a quick link. Maybe that $27/day I get isn’t so bad after all. No, wait, it still sucks.

A Polaroid Bleepin’ Moment!
One of my resolutions when I got home this year was to really make an effort to expand the shots in my Boston gallery. Having lived here my whole life and having (at the time), a half dozen images in my portfolio was inexcusable.
So yesterday, with no Patriots playoff game to watch (wince), and it [...]
Walter: Happy Birthday
My great uncle Walter turned 89 yesterday. We’ve shared birthday’s for as long as I can remember (tonight he told me, “You’ve only got 61 more years until you catch me. For some reason I don’t think I’m gaining on him.)
Walter and my great aunt Ruth, (hmmm, should that be Great Aunt? As in Awesome [...]
Some great gear needs a new home.
What can I say, D700 lust has set in hardcore.
To fund it, I’m parting with my D200 and 17-55 2.8 zoom lens. (Please pardon my horrific attempt at product photography above.)
I bought it in March of 2007 and I’m asking $825 for the D200. It has 41,975 shutter clicks (it’s rated for 100k), and other [...]
Sonya: Borderland State Park
Sonya contacted me last week through my Model Mayhem page asking about some new headshots for her portfolio. By the end of our session Wednesday at Borderland State Park she said, “I feel like we were just two friends hanging out talking.”
Unfortunately it was more like two friends talking about how my brand new 60″ [...]
I Shot My Sister, but I Swear it was in Self Defense
With my pirate sister in town for the holidays, I dragged her in front of the camera for a few quick portraits (Mark stop reading here). (The second to last one is my personal fav., but hey that’s the big brother in me).

Kessa: South Boston
Yesterday I got together with my pals Tony, and Kate & Mike to shoot with Kessa down at one of my favorite locations in Boston.
I already posted one shot – of Kessa channeling her inner Eskimo – but here are a few more of my favorites from the day.
I think the black and white one [...]
