Andy Montroll for Mayor

Andy Montroll is just the  perfect person, with the best connections, the most passion, and a lawyer who will watch over city contracts, and protect Burlington from becoming what it is not. I do hope you will all vote for him for mayor of Burlington.  Here are some recent photos from Melanie's party. 

High School a la color!!

Ben and Forrest took over my camera and studio for a few days, Beth, Ms Sally and I got out the LED lights, and I, in photoshop,  added a bit of color.  

RUMFORD HOSPITAL ADDITION IS FABULOUS!!

Lucky me! I had the privilege to photograph this fabulous, colorful, great design of FFF, inc. of the addition to the Rumford Hospital.  

 Everyone found something to contribute to the new addition, which was "sans" furniture except for 2 hospital beds when I arrived.  John Welch, nurses, staff, doctors, pharmacists, PT, and especially Jane Bubar at the hospital, worked with Steve Mosman, Jesse Beck and Tonya West at FFF to follow my instructions for images. 

 The icu really shown with its new monitors, red cart, and patient's room, so the nurses brought everyone down to see it. They just loved it. Especially the stuffed animal that would sing and sing and sing and dance on the patient's bed to everyone's amusement (thank you Jane).  As the camera angle was hidden in a nearby closet, I got to listen to this song for 4 hours and I still can't remember what is sang.  Well, I am over 64! Does that count?  

Enjoy the photos.

"Being Eighty" published by Carolyn L. Bates Publishing

I just published my second book within a year.  It is all about:

Three days of festivities with my uncle's Nearest and Dearest. Elegant dinner at the Harvard Club on Friday night, grand tour of  THE garden lead by my uncle in his white spats, and a five star brunch by Chef Chava kept everyone laughing and eating for days.  My aunt Joanie was behind the scenes, including bringing in several surprise guests.

"Being Eighty", by Carolyn L. Bates  56 color photos on 40 pages.

Award Winning House by Daniel Johnson

A triangular 900 sq ft, fully accessible, house has just won a major award in the Vt AIA contest. This house has passive solar, with triple glazed windows in the international style. There is a high thermal mass in the floors and walls, with a low slope living roof that connects the house to the forest behind it. Congratulations to the team: Daniel Johnson, architect; Kevin O'Hara, contractor.
