Here's a gallery of pictures I took over two days this past January with my Canon G10 point and shoot at Jay Peak VT. Looking forward to doing some more riding/shooting this winter...

Baby Olivia

Here are some pictures I took today of my friends' Kayla and Eddy's new baby Olivia. She's a week old, has a full head of hair and is a welcome addition to the James' Gang..

Origin of the Slatr

During my freshman year at Babson College I lived in a hallway where there were about 5 different John's. It would get quite confusing, especially at a small school when you we in classes with the same people. I usually wrote my name as John EC as my last name is hyphenated Edward-Corbett. My friend Henry came up with EC Slatr as a nicknname referencing AC Slater from the popular television show Saved by the Bell. The name seemed to stick with my friends and I began introducing myself as Slatr. When I was thinking up a way to do a photo/lifestyle blog, I thought using Slatr, much like Dr. Hunter S. Thompson used Dr. Gonzo for his perspective in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, would be an interesting approach. So this blog will follow my pseudonym's adventures with images and detailed posts..

Mantis

Toad

I found this little toad when I was cutting the grass under our grape vine. I ended up taking him over to the garden and took a couple shots of him on a big wooden bench. There's also a couple shots of a praying mantis I took last summer. I saw a baby mantis today in the garden and I'm hoping to get some shots of it.
