Due to crazy production and a couple of big shoot days approaching I’ll be mia the rest of this week and perhaps most of next. Be back soon.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have gotten a couple of great conceptual illustration assignments (my favorite kind) from Fortune magazine. Back during the first week of January I was given the following concept by photo editor Amy Wolff: The gist of the piece is that healthcare stocks took a beating last year because of uncertainty over [...]

One of my favorite things about having become somewhat accomplished as a photographer is that from time to time students will reach out to me for advice.  Its an awesome feeling to be able to offer advice and/or wisdom to the up and coming generation of shooters, especially when they are very eager to succeed. [...]

As mentioned on numerous posts, like every other photographer these days I’m making the leap into video.  While equipment is relatively affordable things can quickly add up especially when you start getting into the numerous needed accessories.  I knew a dolly was going to be a necessary purchase pretty early on and I had been [...]

WIN-Initiative is back with their 10 Best 10 competition, this time on an international scale.  I received word of the competition the other day in my mail box and wanted to follow up since I had posted regarding the first 10 Best 10, specifically because it was a free to enter photo contest, and I [...]

A few months back Rachel Hulin visited my class at SVA to talk about blogging and at the time mentioned a top secret project she was working on with a few other people.  At 5:00 pm yesterday that project, a website dubbed The Photography Post (thephotographypost.com)officially launched.  I’m certain the site  is going to very quickly [...]

SPD announced the medal finalists today for Pub 45 and I’m happy to say that some of my work was included courtesy of Field & Stream in the Photo Section (multiple issues) category.  I’ve been working with Field & Stream continuously over the past 4 years ever since photo editor Amy Berkley gave me one [...]

I was personally hoping for a snow day today, but my guilty conscious got the best of me and I made it to the studio for some much needed retouching action.  With snow on the mind I recalled my favorite series of snowy day imagery by fellow MFA grad from the Savannah College of Art [...]

The buzz around town of late has been a positive uptick in assignments and even gasp* budgets for photographers.  I must say a very nice change from the terribly somber fall we had here in NYC.  Perhaps it really is true, things are on the mend, or perhaps attitudes are adjusting and we are all [...]

I got an email the other day from friend and fellow photographer Greg Ceo saying that he was putting up a post on young shooters financing there first shoots and that he would like me to add my thoughts.  Unfortunately I was out of town on location and was unable to get to replying until [...]
