So I have a conundrum. I want to use selective color but I’ve always found it cheesy.

Huge thanks to Jeff and Shehab for filming this event – that will come in time after I edit it all together…

So scattered among all of these photos are some I’ve worked over to try and be subtle about it. Lemme know what you like best (if possible  it’s a ton of photos), and whether you prefer strait-up black-and-white or a touch of color.

Film shots form 6×7 and 4×5″ to come.

(MANY) more after the break.

And I do mean taking over. It looks to be awesome.

I had the privilege to hear him speak a few years back and he was really inspirational. As students of the light if you ever find yourself near PS1 in Queens I urge you to go in and spend fifteen minutes inside Meeting up the top floor.

I realized that I think I skipped a week or two! I’ve been a little crazy with working and not really shooting for myself (I don’t really want to post client stuff here). I’ve been experimenting with lights a lot, which has opened up a whole new world! I’m excited to have my own pocket wizards (been renting them) and play around with them even more, so I can post some things here. I’m also headed to Hong Kong in less than a month to photograph a series so I’m quite busy virtual scouting and researching. I’ve also started a new series but I don’t want to post anything yet until I have a more solid body. So basically I’ve been busy making and creating but just not much to upload! Hope to see you all at Matt’s show tomorrow!

Here are some new photographs I just finished taken on the banks of the Hundson River along the Westside Highway…

Is June 2nd fine with everyone for a field trip?

This is a crazy compendium of my efforts for the last few weeks. Enjoy!

Shot with a GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition. Assembled with iStopMotion and Final Cut Pro.

One of my professors from grad school is retiring. In his class he would quarter a portrait and have everyone choose one quadrant. When class was over, you put them all together and hopefully it all looked similar but of your own style. So we’re doing the same thing for him, but with his photo.

I spent Saturday working like Matt Hill on a cutout paper stencil with thick black paper and an X-Acto blade. Sunday evening I attached the resulting stencil to a flash lightbox and made my way up the hill. The goal was to take my professor’s head and merge it with the New York skyline. I quickly found out that the important part of the New York skyline is pretty much the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building. Everything else looks like a rectangle from any other city ever.

So the stencil went on one tripod so I could line it all up, camera on the second. Tripped the shutter, manually popped the flash, tilted the stencil tripod out of the way to avoid a large black rectangle, and waited until the background filled in. We see how it all goes together this week, but I’m very happy with how it turned out.

Here is the first installment of a 4 part series documenting the Haymarket in Boston, it is roughly eight minutes long and will go live in roughly 2 weeks.

Since you are all so wonderful, you will get a sneak peak!

The Haymarket Project Part I

Enjoy!

While working on a project for a friend I found myself a few hundred feet above the historic Burr-Hamilton shooting (Burr won the battle but lost the war: See who’s on your ten dollar bill…). With some time to kill I shot off a few myself.
