Art I’ve Been Making

The Art I Puked Up in 2016

2016 was a difficult year. This was the first time in my life that politics had any kind of real emotional impact.  It was also the first time in my life that I nailed down some bad habits that have haunted me forever. So it was a mixed bag, but personally, a net...

Taking to the Skies in November

A drone is a purchase I’ve been dancing around for the better part of a year now, and in November, I decided to take the plunge. My interest in drones is twofold. First, as a photographer I crave new vantage points and new ways to capture the images in my head. From...

I Spent October Shooting My First Roll of Film in 15 Years

I’ve been a professional photographer for about 10 years. I’m sorry, I should clarify, I’ve been a professional digital photographer for about 10 years. Maybe going on 12 years now. I’m losing track.  Before I was a photographer, I was a kid with a variety of cameras....

Childhood Technology in June

When I was growing up, the Petruzzo Family were not technology aficionados. We didn’t have a TV, our car didn’t have a cassette player, and we didn’t have camcorders capturing our lifelike movements for our future selves to be embarrassed about. It...

Keep On Trying; or Music from May

    The last two months have been a whirlwind. Petruzzo Photography has been traveling and booking like crazy recently, which is a very good thing, but it’s also taken some time away from my personal artistic pursuits; These things ebb and flow though....

Stitching Images Up Through April

Around February this year, I began working with a photo stitching technique. It’s known as the Brenizer method and its a way of taking a series of images captured with a longer lens, and stitching them together to make a wider angle photo. Creating images with...
