CM County Zoo

The other day Alicia and I went to the Cape May County Zoo. The Zoo is located on Route 9 in the Cape May County Park in Cape May Court House. We wanted to see the new baby Snow Leopards and the Albino American Alligator and were not disappointed. It was a beautiful day and the zoo was packed!

The albino alligator is only going to be at the zoo until the middle of September. If your in Cape May County looking for something to do make sure you visit the Cape May County Park and Zoo. The Zoo is open 10 am to 4:45 pm daily.

Hurricane Irene

So the big storm is here! Hurricane Irene is being billed as one of the biggest storms of all-time. At this point the best thing to do is stay inside. Make sure that you have your phones, laptops and anything else that you can charge, charged up!

These photos are from earlier this afternoon in Somers Point, not many people were out. As you can see many businesses are boarded up and or have their windows taped up. I'll be out and about once Irene passes by. Hopefully, the power won't go out or not be out for too long.

OK everyone be smart and be safe,

Bill

Photography Workshop

Always looking to expand my photography knowledge and learn new skills, I had the opportunity to attend an awesome event. My wife Alicia and I attended Sandy Puc's Creative Edge Kids Photography Workshop in Philadelphia on Friday. Sandy is a nationally acclaimed photographer from Littleton, Co. She currently serves on the Board of Professional Photographers of America. Also, holds prestigious titles of Print Master and Explorer of Light from Canon USA. In 2008, she published her first book, The Sandy Puc Guide to Children's Portrait Photography.

Over the past few years I have tinkered with Children's Photography shooting my niece, nephews and a few friends children. Now with the help of my wife Alicia, we are going to be launching a new collaborative part of Bill Stahl Photography... involving a creative take on the average child's portrait.
