Gone for a week

Going to London

I've been busy with other stuff and kinda dropped the ball on my Vegas photos.


I'm gonna fold them into a new portfolio when I get some time at the end of August.
Back in a week!

U.E.S.

A view of the upper east side last night around midnight.


I thought the exposure was done and picked the camera up too early..

Beach 90th

Some snaps from Saturday night/Sunday morning in Rockaway.

The first thing I saw on the way to the beach.


!


Some nature




Sunset light


Sunrise light


Yeah, so we got up at 5 and walked around. Here's some dawn photos...












The light was super nice..






Clarke went surfing right after the sunrise..




The waves weren't that good but it looked like fun.


There was a Great White sighting the day before but people still went out.


A detail from a bad photo of a cool looking turn




That's a wrap.

Dawn Patrol

Me and Clarke stayed at his beach house in Rockaway last night. We got up at 5 today to take photos. This was the scene on the beach around 6..


The sunrise was great.
Here's a detail of the dirty scene last night..


More later.

Outtakes II

Probably the last bunch of outtakes from St. Maarten for a little while.

Vegas II

I'm assisting on a night shoot this whole week and haven't had time to shoot/work on photos.
In the meantime, here's some more snaps from Vegas.

The Trump casino seen from my hotel window.


A film version of the strip as seen from the Stratosphere.

Plane watchers III

More outtakes of people watching airplanes..

Blue eyes

Today I went to shoot some of Esao's new paintings...Once that was done we laughed our asses off taking these dumb photos..


None of these eye shots are amped up in any way besides some burns and dodges. I looked it up..that blue reflection is a second layer in front of the retina. Small animals have 'em to help see in the dark.


cool huh?


We were trying to get a picture of him catching some food.


Missed this one..


Good 'ol Soybean..


He's the best!

Detail

Here's a shiny detail from the only portrait in a group of Vegas photos that I'm trying to finish.


This guy was awesome. More later..

Flak Photo

Stoked to be featured on Flak Photo today. If you don't already have this site bookmarked you should check it out. Andy Adams has been posting sick photos since 2006 and the archive's and links are ridiculous.


A lot of the sites and photographers I look at today came from the links on Flak.
Here's the 16x20 version of my photo...


I'm a total luddite and still haven't jumped on facebook.. but Andy has..and twitter.
I'll always be grateful to him.. some of my first exposure on the internet came from this post back in 2008.

Family

Another version of a family getting worked over


Taken right as the wind started kicking up.

Working

Here's Jason working in his hotel room last week.

Landings I

I knew I wouldn't be using many landing photos in the final project but its pretty impressive and I shot almost all of them just for the hell of it.

Here's some landing outtakes.. this Air France Airbus a340 is the second biggest plane. I saw five of them that week.


This 747 is the biggest. There were only 3 of these landing that week. This is the same photo everyone takes and shows up on google images a trillion times.


This video is what I was hoping to see, which is a rare tail wind landing. They have to come in lower than normal and use every inch of runway.



Another MD80 landing on a different, more cloudy day.


A not super original night landing photo


I'm going to Canada tomorrow. More updates next week.
