"Lights On Wheel"

"Lights On Wheel"

Nathan's commission, 2009-2010.  Overlooked.  In my opinion, this should have been selected and featured with all chosen images that grace the walls of the Nathan's Famous corporate headquarters.  Something about the composition versus the color of the lights that I love.  This looks incredible when blown up large.  Shot this during one of my Coney Island night shoots - I was there to capture the Friday night fireworks that blast off in the background of the Wonder Wheel's colorful lights.  In fact, one of the fireworks images are hanging in Nathan's Chief Architect Don Schedler's office.

"Shoot The Clowns"

Nathan's commission, 2009.  Coney Island.  These fellas can be found near the boardwalk in Deno's (where the Wonder Wheel is located).  I love this shot - they are the classic clowns you expect to see at an amusement park.  Old school.  Anyway, they caught my eye and I shot a bunch of them but this one stood out.
