Jaguar and Seltzer
I made myself a light tent out of grocery bags, shipping tape, and cardboard and clamped fluorescent lights to my piano bench. I’d post a picture of the setup here, but no, it’s just too ridiculous. Anyway, here’s a picture of my favorite Matchbox car:

I accidently froze my seltzer, which [...]

Cayucos Beach Pictures
I didn’t take a lot of pictures on vacation last week. All the running around for gigs and meals and stuff was pretty hectic, and half the time I didn’t even bring my camera. I did, however, spend good quality beach time in the early mornings. The beach was right across the [...]
Fourth of July Buggers
I’m at home in CT for the holiday this weekend. Just having some fun taking closeups of insects and spiders in the yard. I used the built-in flash on these shots in order to hand hold at very small apertures. Up this close, the depth of field becomes very shallow, so the small aperture [...]

Kris Jensen Photo Shoot
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of photographing saxophonist Kris Jensen for an upcoming project. Kris has been a friend and mentor since my days at Hartt; super talented, generous, and always a source of musical inspiration.
Please check out his music at:

Black Swan Pas de Deux
Hey, guess what? There are black swans! According to the Wikipedia article, Cygnus atratus are from Australia. I took these pictures of one in Rancho Santa Fe, CA.
I poked around Wikipedia for something interesting. Black Swan Pas de Deux is from the third scene of Tchaikovsky’s ballet Swan Lake. "In ballet, a pas de deux [...]
Pinhole CFL
I made my first pinhole lens! Very crudely, I might add. All I did was tape aluminum foil over the lens mount on my digital SLR and poked a tiny, tiny hole in the center with the tip of a pin.
Pinhole lenses usually require long exposure times because they let so little light [...]
How you bluin’?
We were Blue Men last night for Halloween. What a messy procedure. They are lucky they are just born that way.
Strike a pose.
Freaky on the subway, even for Halloween
We went to a Halloween party at the Magnet Theater. Some of our friends were there, including…
Britney Spears!
Baker Smurf, a long lost relative.
Painter’s tape [...]

Oh, I remember taking this picture!
I finally got around to developing three rolls of film that were up to a year and a half old. I picked them up today and this was the photo I liked best:

Ilford HP5, 24mm
I also tried having the lab scan to CD for the first time. It cost [...]

Cloud Serpent
I took this picture on Saturday in Fort Tryon Park overlooking the Hudson River and the Palisades Cliffs. While I usually don’t get caught up in the cliché of cloud pictures and sunset shots, I thought this streaky contrail with the sun in its python’s belly was rather stunning. With the sky so [...]
