Unadilla 2010

Went back to Unadilla last weekend.  Working through my pics as fast as I can. Teaser for now – ‘I see you…’

Tourmalet

It was raining when I climbed the Tourmalet in 2006.  It’s supposed to be raining tomorrow when Stage 17 of the Tour finishes atop it. I can’t wait.

Johnson-Miller Engagement Session

This is a post that I’ve been wanting to write ever since I took these photos.  Nick is a good buddy of mine from a few years back.  When he asked me to shoot his wedding, I was delighted, honored and thrilled. We decided to shoot Nick and Hayley’s engagement session over the 4th of [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Massanutten Hoo Ha
Massanutten Hoo Ha

Funny name, great race venue!  I covered it for cyclingnews.com.  The race report, with my photos, can be found here.  Sue also did a follow up piece with a few of my photos on Krista Park, who lives out of an RV!  How neat is that!?  (article is here.)  Sometimes I feel like I live [...]

Jolie Styled Greta Then Craig And I Shot Her

I had every intention of introducing these fine folks like characters in a sitcom, but I lack the talent in my fingertips to make it worth reading.  Just know that I wanted to.  That said, these are people you should know.

Are Philly Fans the Worst Fans in Sports?

Maybe. They threw snowballs at Santa Claus decades ago.  They vandalized a mobile broadcast booth recently.  And when I was there to photograph the TD Bank Philadelphia International Championships, I saw this:

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 [...]

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 [...]

19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World

I like cars.  I like bikes.  After seeing these photos of the ’19 Most Dangerous Roads in the World’, my first thought was, ‘I wanna ride/drive these!’ Mind you, I have a bit of experience with the winding, twisting roads of Europe.  And, if I’m being perfectly honest, what I want to do is to [...]

Snowpocalypse in the S2000

I’m long overdue for a big post.  And given the recent big weather the mid-atlantic’s received, I felt it only appropriate that I give this storm it’s due in the best way I know how – by venturing out into this mess and making photos.  So, without further ado, I bring you the fruits of [...]

Winter Warmer

I’m sure most on the right coast would agree with me, this winter’s been a very odd one, no?  Days of 60 degree weather followed by snow.  Lots and lots of snow.  Wash, rinse, repeat. Jan 25th was one such warm day and I took the opportunity to go for a drive and taste some [...]

Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill
Kaaterskill Falls and Gravity East at Plattekill

This post is going to be long.  If you want the cliff notes version, here it is, taken from my Facebook status update – “My weekend by the numbers: 900 miles driven. 1/2 ton of stone and 1 shed moved. 2 waterfalls hiked. 1 bonfire attended. 500 photos taken. Countless beers drank. 9 hours slept [...]

New Lens, CP Finale, Gravity East

Lots happening in the last week for me.  Took delivery of a new lens… …and went and shot the final race of 2009 in Central Park on Saturday morning with it.  It was the CRCA Club Team Finale.  Good weather, good racing (though I hear there was an altercation after the race, boo!) and good [...]

Catch Kissena and Miles’s 2nd Birthday
Catch Kissena and Miles’s 2nd Birthday

Went and shot what’s probably the last race in Prospect Park for 2009 Saturday morning, Catch Kissena.  The format goes, the Kissena team heads out first with a 2 minute head start, the rest of the field has x laps to catch them.  Fun format to close things out on. One benefit of 6:30am race [...]

Englishtown Photos Were Picked Up!

No new photo shoots recently as I’ve been on vacation.  However, I did get some fantastic news while I was away.  Redline Time Attack has picked my set of photos to be featured in a future issue of Performance Auto and Sound magazine!  I’m not sure what kind of lead time they work with, so [...]

Floyd Bennett Field – Aug 25, 2009
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 [...]

Unadilla Pro National Motocross Weekend
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 [...]

Happy Belated 4th
Happy Belated 4th

My gf and I spent the 4th of July vacationing in California.  The plan was to do several days in LA, then drive down to San Diego, then up the coast all the way to San Francisco. We made it, and the drive was spectacular.  But that’s not what this is about.  Nope, this is [...]

Top Of The Met
Top Of The Met

Recently had a friend in town from D.C. which is a good thing as he pushes me out of my comfort zone some.  Case in point, we went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art while he was here.  The last time I was there had to have been when I was in grade school on [...]

St. Louis Arch

I went to visit some friends in St. Louis recently.  It was oddly warm for February, and seeing as though I’d never been to the arch before, we went! The arch is very impressive in person, if you haven’t been, I highly reccommend it. Enjoy! When I got home from that trip, I did some [...]

Snakes Scare Me
Snakes Scare Me

I’m not kidding.  Snakes scare me.  Nothing makes my skin crawl like the sight of a snake.  I’m showing you this pic because I think it’s a good shot.  It was taken at the Bronx Zoo (cool place, btw).  But I won’t say more than that because even looking at this shot makes me shudder.

Long Island City Rooftop Party
Long Island City Rooftop Party

A friend of mine threw a party on his rooftop in Long Island City recently.  It was a pretty chilly night, but a lot of fun just the same. I took this from the roof of the 2nd floor, looking down onto the party.
