It Takes Work
It Takes Work

Doing the hard thing is never easy. It’s easier to do the hard thing when it’s sunny out, when the stars are aligned, when everything else seems to be going your way. It’s not so easy when you’re stuck in the mud, when you can’t see a happy ending, when you’re not sure that this [...]

Six Sunsets
Six Sunsets

If you happen to keep up with this blog or live in the NYC area, no doubt you took notice of the ridiculously warm weather we were treated to last week. And what do you equate warm weather with? For me, it’s colorful sunsets. So I issued myself a photo challenge – to shoot one [...]

Going Places
Going Places

Tonight’s final sunset of my own little ‘Six Sunsets’ project. I call this ‘going places’ in keeping with a photo I grabbed earlier in the day (at bottom). I’m beat, more on the set over the weekend.  

First Day of Spring
First Day of Spring

And we get a summer sunset? You’re silly, NYC. You’re silly. While I waited for the sun to do it’s thing, I confirmed that reading your Kindle in direct sunlight (while you wait for that glowing fireball to set) is easy-peasy. Assuming this ridiculous weather continues, I’m thinking that a short, 5-part, NYC sunset photoset is [...]

Yay Global Warming?
Yay Global Warming?

It’s still technically winter, but I guess if it’s going to continue to hit the mid-70′s in NYC, we can officially declare the rooftop open for business? Yay global warming? (Cell phone shot, not dissimilar to this one, now that I think about it.)

Cycling Through Times Square
Cycling Through Times Square

I’m working on a new rig setup to hopefully capture via stills what cycling through NYC looks like, to me. I plan on adding a Go-Pro or a Contour to the setup for some behind the scenes footage at some point, but I need to nail the stills first. Of my trial run, I was [...]

63 Degrees Means Shorts
63 Degrees Means Shorts

The first ride of the year in shorts is always a memorable one. To be liberated from booties and balaclavas is a great feeling indeed. Feeling the sun on your legs is pretty killer, too. Post ride green monster. Mine has spinach, whey protein, ovaltine (I love me some ovaltine!), flax meal, almond butter and soy [...]

53 On March 7th
53 On March 7th

It’s been a seriously crap winter in the Northeast this year (if you define a crap winter as a warm one with no snow, as I do), so I’ve been spending more time on my bike than normal during this time of year. During today’s ride, I realized that I don’t share any of the [...]

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field – 7.27.2010

This week was even windier than last week.  But I want to focus on how expansive and empty this place is.  Really, it’s an abandoned airport runway… From Tuesday night, 7.27.2010 @ FBF.

Los Rakas Promo Pic

I mentioned that my buddy, Craig, let me tag along as second shooter as he filmed Los Rakas’ new single, Kalle earlier in the month.  Well, one of the stills I took, they ended up using as a promo piece…that got published in Argentina. International.  That’s me. ;) The shot.

NYC Marathon 2010 – I’m Raising Money for LIVESTRONG
NYC Marathon 2010 – I’m Raising Money for LIVESTRONG

I’ve got a small favor to ask of you.  I’m running the 2010 ING NYC Marathon on November 7, 2010 in support of the LIVESTRONG foundation, and those 28 million people living around the world with cancer. To the point, I’m asking for a donation, a pledge, a charitable contribution of a few dollars to help [...]

Tuesday Nights @ Floyd Bennett Field

There really isn’t any break from the wind on an abandoned runway. From Tuesday night, 7.20.2010 @ FBF.

Los Rakas – Kalle

My buddy, Craig, invited me along to shoot some stills and video for Los Rakas‘ next single, Kalle.  We literally shot all over NYC, from nightclubs on Canal St to a playground in Harlem. After pulling a few 20hr days, Craig goes and edits some footage so the whole crew can get a sneak peak [...]

Friday Fun w/ Stef Lang

Check it!  My buddy Craig did the video.  And killed it.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Apparently NYC Got Snow, Too

My buddy Craig shot this photo in Central Park when they finally got hit with Snowpocalypse 2 after it had ravaged the Mid-Atlantic.  I enjoyed it so much that I’m reposting it here.  Check out Craig’s blog when you get a chance, he’s got a little bit of talent ;) Enjoy!
