"World's Fair Arena"

"World's Fair Arena"

Flushing Meadows, Queens New York.  In 2009, I set a day aside to shoot the World's Fair structures.  I remember thinking finding a unique angle (or different than anyone has seen already) on any of these famous landmarks was going to be challenging.  Indeed it was but this stood out.  I went with a wide-angle lens for distortion - giving the feel of the pillars collapsing.  Also, timing and patience allowed me to capture the birds flying over (top).

This picture is currently not shown (or sold) anywhere but is in consideration along with several others for a client and their office wall decor.

"Life Around The Verrazano"

"Life Around The Verrazano"

Reading a story about New York's bridges in Popular Photography this morning, I felt inspired to post a bridge picture or two.  I snapped this from the Brooklyn side of the bridge (for those who don't know, the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge spans from Brooklyn to Staten Island) - these seagulls were lined up on the railing and using a telephoto, snapped this quickly and quietly.  Just behind me, the Belt Parkway - there is a small parking area for those to stop and admire.

"Accomplice Alex"

Accomplice Alex

Shooting for The Accomplice The Show as I had done several times before and always look forward to the next, I was asked to join them at their hang out/hot spot to shoot stills of one of their characters.  Alex was a new cast member but absolutely rocked this shoot - this photo is evidence of it.

"Stormin' The Net"

"Stormin' The Net"

Shot as a still for the documentary "Coached into Silence" for director/producer/friend Chris Gavagan.  Chris took me to the place where he played hockey as a youth - the gate was open for us to just walk in which amazed Chris.  So, we were in business and I shot away,  This was the image that left a lasting impression on me - it tells of the storm about to roll in on abusive coaches.
