At Benay and Nick’s wedding a few weeks ago.

Life is good.

Another image from the new work. I can’t say I’ve ever directly referenced classical painting before this image. However, Jacques-Louis David’s “The Death of Marat” was certainly in my mind when shooting this.

From a new series I’ve been working on. Expect to see a lot more color around here.

The best part of walking around the monuments was the variety of people from all over the world, doing exactly the same thing… the same thing even I was doing.

I loved these miniatures at the Museum of Natural History in New York.

Heck, I know I wouldn’t.

I like freestanding chimneys.

I first saw it like this and stopped immediately for the photo. Turns out it’s the World War I memorial, if I remember correctly.

From my short stint in New York.

From that same pier at Coney Island. It might not be exquisite light, but that dude has some fantastic hair.

I love this house. I wish I could buy it and move it to somewhere I’d actually want to live.

For this shot, I set out a strobe through the doorway to the left (out of view) with a large softbox at 1/2 power aimed at the side of the staircase. I placed another strobe with just a reflector at full intensity outside the door in the shot. The third strobe was at the top of the staircase, and had a white translucent umbrella attached and aimed at the ceiling for bounce.

Er, wait… no, it was just the sun or somethin’.

No idea what kind of fish this is, but it looked like it had wings. We asked the guy what kind it was, and he told us but I forget details. He was happy to hold it up though.

Seriously… what kind of fish is this?

I kept running into this guy while walking around the Lincoln Memorial.

There was some kind of beer festival in the park back in June, the day before our New York class officially began. This guy had chosen to set his blanket in one of the few truly shaded areas, which is why I guess he was afforded so much space. Everyone else was cramped into what little sun was breaking through the trees.

The most interesting thing I found at Coney Island last month.

A guy asleep in this indoor courtyard area in one of the Smithsonian art museums. (There are multiple art museums within the Smithsonian, right?)

It’s called a turbine, right?

On my way out of Atlanta to NYC. I like it.

And yes, I shoot color on occasion.

I’ve been really happy with how this image turned out, so I made a silver-gelatin print from the negative. I like the print even better than the ambrotype version.
