Floyd Bennett Field – Aug 25, 2009
I stand corrected. Tonight wasn’t the final round of the FBF series, next week is. Although, I’d have been fine if things ended tonight as the light could not have been better! No clouds in the sky and a bright afternoon/evening sun made for some great light. Cat 5, breaking away: 3/4′s w/ a helicopter [...]
Mengoni Grand Prix and Lou Maltese Memorial
Shot two races this weekend. Both in Central Park, which is ‘home’ to me. On the upside, it’s tons easier for me to get to. Conversely, it’s larger than Prospect Park, so the riders do fewer laps, which means fewer photo ops. Can’t have your cake and eat it too, right? Saturday morning, 6:15am, hiding [...]
Unadilla Pro National Motocross Weekend
This had to be one of the most fun shooting experiences I’ve had. A friend of mine has almost 30 acres of undeveloped land in New Berlin, NY. So we went camping up there the same weekend as the 2009 Unadilla Pro National Motorcross Championship (pronounced you-na-dill-uh. I was mispronouncing it for the weeks leading [...]
Floyd Bennett Field Tuesday Night Crit
The next few posts are out of order, but that’s just the way I got around to editing and uploading the pics. O well, I think you can manage. Shot the 16th round of the Cadence Tuesday Night Series @ Floyd Bennett Field last night. This place is impossible to get a good photo at! [...]
Cadence Tuesday Nights at Floyd Bennett Field
I’m exhausted, so this is going to be short. Shot the 15th round of the Cadence Tuesday Night Series @ Floyd Bennett Field (yes, that’s a mouthful) this evening. Since I don’t own a car, I rode my bike the length of Flatbush Ave to get to the race and back (30mi). Flatbush Ave sucks [...]
Busy Weekend Of Shooting
Good news! I hooked up with NYVelocity to shoot the local NYC bike races for their website. :-) Saturday morning I shot round 7 of the Cadence Cup in Prospect Park, and on Sunday I shot the Tour of Governors Island. (To see the Prospect Park race photos on NYVeloctiy, go here. To see the Governors [...]
Cadence Cup Round 5
Went back to Prospect Park solo to shoot round 4 of the Cadence Cup on July 25th. Rode my bike out there this time, which made getting to the park from Manhattan MUCH easier. Not having to deal with thousand-degree subway stations at 5am was a welcome change. I rode a lap of the park [...]
Nautica Underwear Run
In an effort to get a better handle on shooting moving people, I went out and shot the Nautica Underwear Run on Friday, July 24th. It’s a fun-run (1.7m) in Central Park two days before the annual NYC Triathalon. No timing chips, no clothes, best Jamaican-themed costume wins a trip to Jamaica. The Naked Cowboy [...]
