Our family had Sunday dinner in the Williams house on many many occasions. As I grew up I had a prediction that some day that house would be opened for the public to tour through. It is so nice that it was preserved.

Hi James Just looked at all your Old Bethpage Restoration photos and really enjoyed them. You covered all the seasons there quite well Probably will go there soon.

Hello James, I work at a small monastery in Wayne WV making soap and bath and body products. We are currently working on a new website and we were wondering if we could use your photograph of the Old Westbury Gardens' Cottage (Cottage Panorama)for this website. Please let me know if this is possible. You can contact me at annie.m.long@gmail.com

Hello James, I am a writer/editor and am in the business of producing coffee table-style, full-color books for historic mansions that are often used as sales tools when the houses are put on the market (I have just finished a book on a 1905 Arts & Craft mansion in Minneapolis, a $6.5 milion listing). The books are also wonderful historical documents for such homes, even if they aren't for sale. I'm wondering if you can put me in touch with the owner of Winfield Hall, or if you happen know if the owner is interested in publishing such a book. Thanks for any info you can provide. Please contact me at kyasas@aol.com. FYI, I recently moved from Glen Cove, where I lived for 13 years, to upstate New York, and I know the property...from the outside...very well.

I am also going to Rhinebeck New York to see the Aerodrome and the old planes. Got rained out twice before in my attempts to go there so lets see if the third time will be a charm. I am going to put in a couple of my photos from Amherst including a couple of photos of the models. regards Lowell Schechter

Hi Jim I had met you at a now out of business Circuit City store in westbury a couple of years ago and we talked a lot about cameras and photography. By accident I stumbled upon your web site and have enjoyed looking at all your photographs from the different places you have been too. I have been to many of the place you have photographed and I see you go up to the photo conference at Amherst ( university of Mass) enjoyed looking at the pictures of the models. I am going to be up at Amherst at the photo conference, this year after a five year absence. And again thanks for your time that day at Circuit City. I have learned a lot from your photos. regards Lowell

Kim		30-Jun-2010 01:58
Hello, I just went to Bailey Arboretum the other day after seeing your photos and was excited to search out the castle, but I never found it. Where is the mini castle and rock garden located in the park? Thanks!

Eleanor		08-Jun-2010 13:54
Hi Jim. Just stumbled on your forum. Fabulous. I am a portrait painter and just recently invested in a Pentax K20D to take reference photos for portraits. (You know - trying to get an adult - nevermind a child - to sit still for multiple sessions is virtually impossible, to wit , the camera.) Your portraits are incisive and capture a real vitality in your subjects. As a result of finding your site, I think I will head out to a few of the places on LI that you have shot and perhaps begin to build a reference library of historical places and people in period costume. Thanks for the inspiration! Eleanor

Gail		06-Apr-2010 18:23
Your galleries have helped me tour Long Island from home and see places I've been in a whole new way.

Bill T		12-Mar-2010 22:11
Jim Nice to meet you today at Hicks flower show. I enjoyed looking at some of your gallaries, and will continue to look at more. Question. I did notice that you use ISO 400 800 and higher for a lot of outdoor shots. They all look great I am just wondering why you use that high of an ISO. Many of the shots appear to be taken in full daylight. Tryiing to improve my shots so any information you can pass on I would appreciate. MY email address is below Thanks Bill

Very nice model pics from NECCC. I've been there the past few years myself. Do you use any software like Photoshop to airbrush them or do you post them as shot?

James Robertson		24-Aug-2009 00:23
where are Chistine's wedding pictures. Are you working on them?

terry dorn rao		16-Aug-2009 22:29
Mr, Robertson, your work is unbelievable!, you capture so much more then what the naked eye can see, as a Psychic I can see a story in almost every picture, I have visited these gardens on few occasions, not as often as i would like, each time I feel like i was there years and years ago your pictures bring that beauty back thanks

Dave Berry		30-Jul-2009 04:51
I wouldn't have thought it possible, because it was already at such a high level, but your work keeps getting better and better. Your portraits are among the best. Your galleries always make me smile and I really appreciate that. Dave

Dear James thanx so much for the beautiful well framed images of Winfield Hall. Went to school there in late 60's. Wish it would be restored to former majesty as historic landmark. Thans again.

Guest		07-Oct-2008 09:47
Dear James: I am filming a documentary of the Houston Maritime Museum. The documentary is called �A Life of the Sea: The Jim Manzolillo Story.� This documentary is planned to be sold as a DVD and/or VHS tape and to be shown on cable stations. An aspect of this film is Jim�s experience in the Merchant Marine in WWII. I want to show some images of King�s Point Academy. The documentary will be sold commercially. However, I am financing the entire project that is unlikely to make significant amounts of money. Thus, there is no budget for permissions and/or releases to show copyrighted items. I would be happy to send you the DVD and to give credit for the images in return for your permission and release to show them. I request permission to use some images from your website that are described below. Waterfront view toward white building. Bell backlit by sunset They need to be 250 � 300 dpi or better and 720 X 480 pixels, minimum. Prints of these photos could be mailed to me at the address below or if they are available on a computer in higher resolution they could be sent to me by Email. High-resolution scans (probably by most scanners) of the original print could also be sent electronically. I assume you hold the copyrights for these photos. Would you grant me permission to use them and their high resolution downloads in my documentary? If permission is granted or any information forthcoming, please reply to this Email at the top, appended to the original Email. Thank you for any help. Yours truly, Dr. David Mailman Mailman Productions LLC 3419 Audubon Pl Houston, TX 77006 dmailman@comcast.net (O) 713 527 9719 (C) 832 640 2656

Hey James. Please email me in regards to your photos. I was hoping to include them in a winter magazine here on Long Island. Looking forward to hearing back. All the best!

Hi James, I visited Bayard Cutting Arboretum today for the first time, and I was researching for more info when I found your website. This is the most beautiful collection ever. Thank you. I'll be back. Gloria.

himane		12-Jul-2008 08:52
Thanks for uploading your photos. Looking at them has made my day that much better.

Kaybee		07-Jul-2008 13:30
I'd like to see you do some night shots at the Fine Arts Building, UMass Amherst at the upcoming NECCC. I bet you would get a LOT of mileage out of those angles and colors and great lighting. Thank you for sharing your most enjoyable pictures. You seem to have gotten a great deal out of your D70. Since I've been struggling with my D80 exposures I studied the EXIF details carefully. Loved your soft backgrounds and color in the macros in the gardens. Enjoyed your LI and Hudson Valley shots. Seems fitting that you should now have a sweet D300 now with which to work even more magic. Happy shooting and thanks again.

Christina		30-Apr-2008 22:17
I was a employee at Old Bethpage Village for a long time and have moved on with my life and looking at your pictures of the village and the many faces from there bring back so many memories for me.

Hi James, I love your work!! It is very beautiful. I am looking into getting married at de serversky and taking pictures at Old Westbury Gardens. Is there anyway I can contact you about taking them? You can email me @ gregory.delucia@nycha.nyc.gov Once again GREAT work. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Nicole Dufour DuRocher		23-Jan-2008 09:26
Hello James! Your body of work is simply perfection, technically superb and exceptionally dynamic. I am also a Photographer, I studied at Pratt Institute and have been exhibiting in galleries here in NYC, Maine and New Mexico. I am in a unique situation in that I am a wedding photographer that had a destination wedding and my wedding photographs aren't what I had envisioned. We hired an excellent photographer; however, no one had planned for a 97 degree day with 100% humidity ... to say the least we all looked a bit melty. We are looking to have formal photographs of my Husband and I taken again this spring at Old Westbury Gardens and would love to have you be our photographer. Would you be available/interested? Please send me an email at nicoledufourdurocher@yahoo.com
