Gallery: Merrill Peiffer at Rochester Performance and Arts Center

A gallery of images from my coverage of the fabulous Merrill Peiffer at Rochester Performance & Arts Center.

I recently started working with the Rochester Opera House and it's affiliate, the Rochester Performance & Arts Center (RPAC). A couple weeks ago I was offered the opportunity to photograph the fantastically talented Merrill Peiffer during her third and final performance of her solo show, "Merrill Sings," at RPAC. It was a really cool and challenging change of pace to what I usually shoot. 

Rochester Performance and Arts Center is located at 32 North Main St, Rochester, New Hampshire. For event calendar and booking information visit their website

Lakes Region Ice Racing Club

Winter. I hate winter!! I don't ski, I don't snowshoe, I don't really like being out in the cold. But in the last couple of years I have found that being outside in sub-freezing temperatures isn't so bad if I also get to photograph race cars. 

The sprint cars take the green flag for their heat race.

Last winter I found the Lakes Region Ice Racing Club (LRIRC) on facebook and, on a whim one morning, made the hour long drive to Moultonborough to check out what they do. I loved it so much that I knew that I wanted to get up there at least once this winter. Well, Last Sunday (Feb 4) I finally found some time to spend the day "trackside" on Lee's Pond. 

Right after the New Year we were hit with a long stretch of days with sub-zero temperatures. I knew at that time that the LRIRC would be racing once the ice got thick enough on the ponds. The LRIRC races every Sunday (and some Saturdays) from January to March, or as long as the ice is safe.

On the mornings of race days the organizers check the condition of the ice and then broadcast out online whether or not the racing is on for that day. So, if you want to check out the LRIRC I would recommend following their facebook page to stay in the know.
