Special Photos

Monday, May 26th, 2008

Photography is a special privilege. I feel lucky to be able to take photos, stash them for awhile, then look through them and be reminded of the events surrounding the moment when the picture was made.

This sunset picture is not really very good. But it was taken when I was with a group of [...]

Drunk and Rowdy

Monday, May 26th, 2008

This was from the MMA fight I shot awhile back in Missouri. This guy was really drunk and rowdy and was causing problems. After this ‘discussion’ he settled down some.

Under Same Moon

Sunday, May 25th, 2008

My friend Rainer sitting for a spontaneous portrait session in Virginia. These aren’t very sharp because it was pretty dark outside so my shutter was open for a long time and I was doing these handheld. Somebody should buy me a nice lightweight carbon fiber tripod to prevent this type of thing.

Art Show in NYC

Between Trains

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

The Hudson

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

One of my stops in New York was the Hudson Hotel. Very interesting, but took very few pics.
The Hudson is clearly intended to be young, fun, and cheap (the rooms start at $95 a night) but also gorgeous-a reflection of Schrager’s current philosophy that contemporary life is not about how much money you have but [...]

Strand Book Store

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Used book stores are amazing places. I love just going in with an open mind and finding random fascinating books to skim through and sometimes buy. When I was in New York I visited Strand bookstore (18 Miles of books!) and explored a lot of interesting photography books and a few history books as well.

Mayan Ruins: Tulum

Monday, May 19th, 2008

So I visited the ancient Mayan Ruins of Tulum the last time I was down in Mexico, but unfortunately I had barely any time to shoot before getting ushered out by the guards. It was almost closing time when I got there.
The Tulum ruins are the third most-visited archaeological site in Mexico, after Teotihuacan [...]
