1 day in Dubai
Up from Abu Dhab, I spent about 24 hours in Dubai visiting some news photo friends, partoning local watering holes and wandring the distinct landscape of Dubai.

October octave
Wandering through Astor Place a few weeks ago, I came across musicians Vince “The Prince” Hunter and Gregory Stevenson. Following a brief introduction and some pleasantries, we discussed New York street music.

Fashion Week Spring 2012
I spent my mornings last week at Lincoln Center competing for limited backstage real estate with models, stylists and other photographers. Every year, I’m always struck by the level of calm and order within maelstrom of Fashion Week. While shooting, everything seems to slow and I’m able to find vacant, quiet moments within the eye of the storm.

Howard Beach
I spent the afternoon in Queens for a feature on the changing face of Howard Beach. The area’s commercial strip is primarily occupied by a number of small businesses along with a smattering of newer franchised stores. Howard Beach possesses a suburban, ‘old New York’ quality that seems to be quickly fading between gentrification and the slow corporate takeover of New York...

re-entering the ring
I started my re-entry into the world of professional wrestling. I spent Saturday night with the fellas in Paramus, NJ at an East Coast Professional Wrestling event. Every venue is different from the last: the space, the lighting, the roster. However it is familiar enough that it can be a big challenge to create something new and interesting. Here are a few frames from this past weekend:

Dad
On this Father’s Day 2011, I honor my Father. When I sit and think about him I remember a number of things. One of which is how hard he worked to give me, my sister and my mother a nice, safe home. In addition to his 9-5 he would regularly work long hours around the house. He worked and he worked. He would install a new window, build a new car-port and purchase bad wall art from Costco. He...
