Here's Admiral Rosen (retired) posing for an editorial photograph outside of his company's offices on Long Island. With his wife, Florence, and their family, Admiral Rosen envisioned and then created The Florence and Robert A. Rosen Family Wellness Center for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel and Their Families at the North Shore-LIJ Health System - recognized as the first of its kind and a national model. The center treats what Admiral Rosen calls "the invisible wounds of war," the psychological and behavioral conditions that are sometimes hidden, but just as serious as bullet wounds. A critical and distinguishing feature of the Center is its emphasis on caring for the entire family, recognizing that dangerous and stressful assignments can have a serious impact on spouses, partners, parents, and children - and that the reintegration of families after long and sometimes multiple deployments brings unique challenges. We made the image for a magazine published out of Chicago!

Bird Talk has kept our image llibrary very busy with check outs, and lots of members of the Long Island Parrot Society have been wonderful help in providing a variety of parrot species to pose for our lenses. If you're in a pet shop this month, you'll find the handsome fellow shown here smiling and displaying for his moment in the sun, on the cover of the March issue.

And to compliment our portfolio of commercial pet stock photography, here's a great layout promotng NSALA's Tour for Life, featuring Law & Order's Kathryn Erbe and friends. We photographed Ms. Erbe with her dog on the right, a NSALA adoptee, as well as with the puppies in her arms...then the marketing group added the remaining dogs, which we photographed in the same lighting setup, to the mix for the promotion. Commercial photography of this kind requires more than a little foresight when you're hoping for seamless integration in post production...and in this case, I'm happy to report it was a lot of fun, too!
