It’s kind of good practice if you think about it. Your biggest goal the entire time is not to disturb the environment around you, but merely document it. It’s essentially the role you have as an event photographer–to an extent. Sure there are the posed and formal shots, but when you capture the essence of a moment, and those little details in their untouched candid states, you bring the picture full circle making a series of images not just a collection of pictures but a detailed narrative, where each image is a page of a story that envelops you.

A spiteful bank account later, I ended up replacing the body which was actually long overdue. What an appropriate place but in a garden along with trusty mentor and friend, John Richard Pena. Basically I’m relearning how to shoot again with this new body, even more so now since I’m now video capable.

So we decided to go simple route into a little park nestled within the confines of Manhattan, but nowhere near as hectic as Central Park. To say the least, we had a lot of fun. My assistant, not pictured here, also got to play around and experiment as well. I’d say that my assistant is coming along well. I tip my hat off to you.  To all of us grads looking for work, I tip my hat off to you as well. I wish you all the best of luck.

Being in a world outside of the United States is eyeopening and quite surreal. What I sought to capture was something pretty. But what I came back with was something beautiful.

The Spiral Staircase at the Vatican Museum.

Pathways Such a simple park, and even more gorgeous, Espanya I don't know what it is with underground transportation, but I love capturing people just sitting down in their own little worlds waiting for the train. is my homeboy. From la Sagrada Familia you can get one of the best views of Barcelona Busy as anything during the day, but still a wonderful walk to the harbor. One of the many covered markets in Barcelona, but also the most famous one. Lots of Jamon Serrano to go about. What I found most interesting about this shot is that one particular couple just looking out at the fountain together. Fountain Such a quiet park near the apartment we hired for the four days we were in Barcelona. No idea how that guy can be so friendly with those birds. As for the kid, that didn't work out too well. I thought the pattern of the floor was quite interesting at Casa Mila also known as "La Pedrera The Palau Nacional Holds a wide variety of art including none other than Pablo Picasso. Atop Montjuic is a Spanish Village replica made If i had to imagine what the entrance to heaven looks like, it'd probably have this as part of it. The Spiral Staircase at the Vatican Museum. I see the light. Florence Overview Good Question.

Time to laugh, enjoy celebrate. My sister finally got to celebrate 5 years of hard work, sleepless nights, let alone weeks. To honor that, I find it appropriate to feature her commencement here.

The difference in comparison to the other sets is that I didn’t take all these shots. I had my camera for awhile and then left it with some close friends while I kicked back a bit. Needless to say, that turned into a mini photo lesson. So while they’re not named one by one here, This is dedicated to each and every person who took these shots while I stepped back.

First, with my sister working with a old but sturdy 35mm Nikon FG. Then back in the city with my friend Hannah, for a basic lesson and tips about exposure, composition, and lighting. Hopefully the weather gets much warmer so I can shoot more regularly outside.

Let me just say that shoot was both beyond what I expected and lots of work. But all in all it was a lot of fun. Be on the lookout for the music video in the coming weeks.

Fast-forward a few months later and we finally found the time to do one. I’m definitely liking how this series came out. Drop a line and let me know what you think.

Be it a dance competition, conference, or even a meeting, there are so many things that go on behind the scenes. But of course there’s the training behind it all. Fordham College at Lincoln Center’s NSO staff asked me to document the process. Here’s a little glimpse into it:
