Floyd Benett Field

2010-10-28T12:47:00.000-07:00

At the end of 6 long days of shooting at our last locations we got rewarded with an amazing sunset. Floyd Benett Field is the oldest municipal airport in new york. We were shooting stills along side of a commercial set, and at the end while waiting for files to process out we decided to take advantage of the fact that I had a really high end camera (p65+) and some beautiful light. My friend Jon Wasserman also shot this portrait of me that I really dig.

The cold mountains

2010-10-20T16:20:00.000-07:00

Finally got around to shooting more for this small project. I am really enjoying these, more to come as I finish working on them. Been teching a lot on top of working at the studio full time, feeling the need to shoot more and it felt great to get these images, need to keep editing and I will have some more stuff up here soon.

2010-08-29T16:51:00.001-07:00

definately a hidden gem in brooklyn, vinegar hill. A few quick snaps on a walk through. I hope to get back there sometime in the fall as there was a lot hidden behind foliage.

2010-08-16T08:54:00.001-07:00

So I have been pretty obsessed with tuning and maintaining my '84 Puch Maxi since I got it a few months back. This past weekend I rode in my first rally. It was a 3 day event but I was only able to ride in the brooklyn park of the event. It's definately a great community of people and I hope to be able to attend some future rallys

Flickr seems like the best way to display all these photos but I have to give some props to my brother Adam for the idea. (check out his blog @ http://wanderingwayfarer.blogspot.com/)

I will probably start posting a lot more stuff on flickr when I've got too many photo's for a blog post!

Here's a screen of the whole gallery which will link you to FLICKR to check em out.

I got a Contax 28-70 and converted it to my 5d, Although it's a bit of a slow lens (3.5) I needed something flexible, and the old Zeiss Glass yields a much better image than it's Canon Equivalent.

So I had the awesome opportunity to get onto a rooftop on wall street (thanks eric). I'm still trying to figure out why I like rooftops so much, and why I want to shoot them...

this view down made me a bit weak in the knees.

Pigeon

2009-09-27T19:20:00.000-07:00

Pigeons are kindof everywhere, generally though of as flying rats, not the most beautiful of birds, but I have enjoyed some recent observations of them. This one was foraging a gutter for twigs, (for building it's nest?). It flew off with a twig.

I've had it in mind to try and shoot pigeons in flight for a while now, After being called in to work this morning I thought I'd make the best of it and brought my camera along.
