Photos and Words

I’ve been spending a lot of time lately thinking about where journalism and photography is headed in our increasingly mobile, ipad-ed and tableted world. One of the first conclusions that I’ve come to is that we’ll be seeing much more photography in journalism than we do currently. There’s too much talent, taking too many photos, [...]

New Website

Working on the new website now, hope to have it finished within the next couple of days.  More photos, more blogging, more fun…coming soon!

Can Collector, NYC

Shot w/ my Vibrant.

Big Bambu at The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Big Bambu at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The rooftop of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has to offer one of the neatest public views in all of Manhattan. Bonus #1 – There’s an interactive art piece on the rooftop. Bonus #2 – They serve cocktails up there, as well. Last summer I took a photo of Roxy Paine’s ‘Maelstrom‘.  (Old post is [...]

Met Rooftop

Quick shot from my cellphone of lower Central Park from the Met Rooftop.  The current installation is ‘Big Bambu‘.  It’s surreal to see in person.

Eat Drink Hoboken

My buddy Ian is a photographer based in Hoboken, NJ.  I hopped the PATH across the river last week to catch up with him and shoot a shot or two (yes, the double entendre was intentional :-P) at an Eat Drink Hoboken event he was shooting.  The happy hour was sponsored by Bacardi’s new Torched [...]

Food for Thought

The source of this is unknown, but if true, is definitely worth thinking about. “Picasso was sitting at a table outside a Paris cafe. A woman came up to him and asked him to sketch her. He complied. After five minutes he finished. The woman asked what she owed him for the sketch. He said [...]

Volcanic Ash
Volcanic Ash

I’m sure you’ve heard about the volcanic ash that’s blanketed Europe by now, yeah? Did you know it’s evil volcanic ash? Taken from the Sac Bee, and flipped to show you the evil. Tell me that’s not an evil face!

Road Trip!

I took an impromptu road trip to Colorado in March.  Impromptu because some work I had in Asia fell through, leaving me with a gaping hole in my calendar.  So I jumped into the Snowpocalypse S2000, and, 1,700 miles later found myself skiing in CO.  I’ve been so busy since I got back that I’ve [...]

Quick Update

Just a quickie.  Busy planning out the fun for the month’s ahead.  Will have a full update soon.  (I hope!) Bulgogi Bros used a pic of mine for their ‘Snow’ gallery.

Why Not Now?

Things are a bit heavy around these parts today. In her final spoken- word performance Dec. 9 in Austin, Texas, Gabrielle “Gabby” Bouliane boldly confronted her approaching death and urged audience members to live up to their potential while time allows.

Lemonade

Have you seen Lemonade yet? You should.

Secret Mountain Retreat Edits

I know I’ve been reposting a lot of stuff that isn’t my work lately, but  that’s because I’ve been coming across such interesting things that I’ve felt compelled to share with you all.  So I have. But tonight, some originals. I’m not one to do a lot of post-processing.  I figure, if I can’t get [...]

The Sandpit

Reposted from PetaPixel.  Too good not to share here. The Sandpit is a beautiful short film by Sam O’Hare that shows New York City in miniature using a shallow depth-of-field. In an interview on Aero Film, O’Hare says, It is shot on a Nikon D3 (and one shot on a D80), as a series of [...]

Yes, This is a Necessity

Borrowed from a recent Chase Jarvis post, who borrowed from Carl Jung. The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. When your high-school guidance counselor, or college commencement-speech-giver said something to the effect of, [...]

72 Musicians

I want to see this. Three years later, my film is done. It’s about hope, dreams, failure, day care, sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll. Enjoy.

Godzilla
Godzilla

As an automaker (not you, Toyota – the Supra and Celica All-Trac notwithstanding), you know you’ve done something right when one of your models lives on in infamy under the moniker, ‘Godzilla’.  Man On The Move kindly used one of my photos for a blog post.  I’ll skip the pleasantries and get right to it. [...]

All In

Here’s a snippet from a blog post by Bill Strickland of Bicycling Magazine, He’s all in, which was the only way he was ever going to get in. Most of us say we would do the same, given the chance. And that’s probably right. But you’re not given the chance. You have to go out [...]

Doe, A Deer…

I’ve posted several pics about the weekend I had celebrating my buddy’s 30th, what with the house, snow, beer, hot tub, etc.  What I failed to mention were the deer that had taken up residence on the edge of the property, nestled under some snowy pine trees. So one afternoon I broke out the 70-200, [...]

DSLR Music Video

The Noises 10, ‘You’re Never Gonna Be That Good.’ The Noises 10 “You’re Never Gonna Be that Good” from Ramon Boutviseth on Vimeo. Everything but the slo-mo was shot on a DSLR. A D90.  Chew on that for a minute and enjoy the song and video.  I did.  Maybe you will, too.

Snowpocalypse S2000 Beer Run

Testing out a new camera mount.  If you’ve got 5 minutes that you don’t necessarily need back, check it out.

New Toys

Got a new lens for Christmas and some off camera lighting.  First thought?  Scary story face.  Here’s a quick self portrait from tonight.

TSO Photo on Flickr and Twitter!

I took the plunge and dove into both flickr and twitter last week.  Boom!

Virginia Is For (Wine) Lovers
Virginia Is For (Wine) Lovers

As I’ve been pretty busy shooting lately, I decided to take a weekend away from my camera, if only to keep my trigger finger fresh.  And what better way to relax than with a glass of wine.  That the glass(es) of wine were had at multiple Virginia vineyards during peak fall color certainly didn’t hurt. [...]
