Some random photos of Al skating in Secaucus last weekend.

good times

Dear God, make me a bird...

Nick and I went to visit Al in Jersey last weekend. Took lots of good photos that I haven't worked on yet.

Our mission was to find a fort hidden away in the Meadowlands.

Complexion

Luis shot this girl Olga in Long Island last week

She had the craziest eyes and marbly skin.  This detail shot isn't retouched in any way except overall curves and levels.  God knows how Russia cranks these creatures out.

Oh, and obviously Keiko is good at makeup.

Pool

Luis did a shoot on Long Island last week. I took these photos while waiting on the hair and makeup.

A big man was launching his daughter into the air.

The sun went behind a cloud and I crept to the edge for his next big throw.

Detail

"Goodfellas" and "Far From Heaven" were both filmed there. The yenta factor was sky high. I was subjected to "Hey...take MY picture" requests and awkward encounters all day long.

Nice

I emailed Rachel Hulin over at "Shoot the Blog" and asked if she could look at my stuff. She ended up posting some photos and saying nice things here.

4th of July part IV

It rained hard in Jersey.

Edit

All the photos I like since march this year. Time to edit.

The last batch from Luis' Rockaway shoot a couple of weeks ago.

Detail

I'm liking the density and color of this bottom photo more. Playing around with profiles until its time to re-process and print all these in a couple of weeks.

July 4th part III

Some firework photos from Friday. All exposures were made between .5 and 8 seconds using boulders and a water bottle for my tripod.

It started raining pretty hard and my camera was dripping wet. Managed to find a boulder under a tree to rest it on and take the following 5 photos.

So many cool little details in the smoke.

The walk home was pretty amazing but I was bummed about my flash breaking. It was pouring rain and I shot these two misty jams hand held from under my umbrella.

July 4th part II

The fire marshal in my hometown let me go in front of the fence. This is what the lake looked like during the display.

Crowd detail.

Slingshot

Ma "showin' me how its done"

July 4th part 1

I went home to New Jersey to see the folks and watch some fireworks. Took shitloads of photos that aren't going to be done for a while. This picture below was from the smoky walk back home.

Detail

Pretty steady handed considering I had just dropped, and broken, a $500 dollar flash..

Berlin punks

Luis cast some punk rock guys in Berlin.

Some behind the scenes retardation on an Italian Elle shoot last month.

cherries and lighter

Last month in Berlin

Right after sunset on one of the first days of summer.
