Moving on

A little late in the game on this but I'm jumping over to Tumblr. I'll keep this blogspot up as archive of the last 4 years.

Once my new website is done I'll start trying to post on the regular. I'm also planning on doing some tweaks to the way it looks.

In case your not in the photo world and want to see other stuff here's a list of friends and other folks I was following with the Soybean tumblr:

Website update

Finally got around to putting up the backstage stuff from September


My favorite pictures from makeup and front row are weirdly similar


Bigger versions of the two runway shots I liked


Next step is to redo the website itself...working on that now..

Maine

A couple of pictures from the end of summer


Splits

New Years

A picture from New Years day


This year I brought along some boots but ended up going in up to my waist so they didn't do anything but slow me down. My pants, wallet and camera got soaked and a lot of frames were shaky or out of focus from the shivering.
Not the best subway ride home...

7 train

TV camera cables in the rain


Seating chart at a fashion show


Balsa wood model of midtown

Details

So in preparation for putting up a bunch of new pictures I've started the thankless task of redoing my tired website.. First thing was to rescan a few problem negs..

Big detail


very still 4" balanced on a handrail shot

Speaking of details..almost done with these fashion week pics. Here's a big detail from the best front row photo I took

Vitcoria

Found this outtake from a few years ago


I don't remember where the better version is

Hahn-Bin for Vogue.com

I photographed violinist Hahn-Bin's pre-show makeup routine a few days ago..


Some of my favorites and some outtakes...








Hahn-Bin was cool..he didn't seem to mind me yammering on or getting really close and popping a flash right in eyes.




The room was small and the existing light was pretty horrendous...The process took some time so I was able to mess around with my little flash quite a bit






Some still lifes




I like these two




Apparently violinists can't take baths before shows or go grocery shopping because it ruins their finger tips






Almost done




Overview of the dressing room


Sound check


I had free rein during sound check


Last minute drink


Last minute touch ups


Last minute warm up


Last minute moves






He went to Julliard at 14 and has been studying under Itzhak Perlman for the last 10 years.


So then I came home and watched some videos of Itzhak Perlman and the last minute of him shredding in this video is one of the greatest thing I've ever seen. I like the old man Cello player smiling behind him at the end..

Dudes

Looking up 5th ave the other night


Held my point shoot against the 8 floor window for 2 seconds
