The final product - a DVD with color corrected images
The DVD that I give to the newlyweds after all the work is done is not as easy to get to as one might think. It is often a curvy path with packed with decisions at every step of the way. Here is a typical process I follow to get to the finished product below, of which the DVD burning part is the e[...]
On a farm with my neice
This is a short photo-music clip that I feel may be the start of something new for me. I really connect to music in general and feel rhythm pretty well. To me the merging of visual and audio is very natural. This is a totally experimental piece that I put together very fast - it's totally a rough[...]
It's All About the Content
I once took a videography course where the teacher kept reiterating one point: it's all about the content. It's true in photography as well. No matter how beautiful the lighting, or how sharp the image, the photo is just not going to be interesting if the actual content is lacking. I often fall i[...]
Back to the 1920s - Governor's Island
The Governor's Island, which is close to lower Manhattan, hosts a 20s Jazz themed concert during the summer (which you can get to on a free ferry from Manhattan or Brooklyn). I ended up there by total accident, but luckily had my camera. Here are some personal favorites from the event.

Strong genes
During my recent vacation to Hilton Head beach, I got to photograph Isaiah (and his dad).
I love how every pose they got into, they looked identical from the back. And that is hard to do when the size and degree of being clothed varies so greatly.
The ball chase.
Holding on.
A little b[...]
SUCH a cute thank-you note
I couldn't resist putting it up on my blog : )
You can view the photos from their wedding HERE.
The green mask
Sometimes you end up buying a gooey mask with a cool sounding name at Duane Reade and applying it at home with a friend for no good reason other than to feel girly. As my friend Keren was putting on her mask it reminded me of the many pre-wedding ceremony time when the bride is putting on her[...]
A very photogenic quinceanera
During my last trip to Miami I went to Vizcaya Gardens. There I stumbled upon 2-3 wedding photographers, whom I couldn't help but stalk just a little bit. I would "accidentally" end up within an eye and earshot away from them and greedily soak up what they said, etc. First of all, I'm just drawn [...]
Please turn off the AC!!
And I mean outside. Obviously it was left on by accident. Is there a reason why we still have to wear out warmest coats, shuddering as we walk to the nearest subway? Shouldn't there be some sort of union for this type of thing? A protest group? Anyway, it's time for the sun to come out. Enough[...]
A walk through Brooklyn
Yesterday was the most beautiful day ever and my camera and I decided to go for a walk. Even though it was very bright outside I opened up my lense to a 1.4 f-stop because I wanted a clean, minimalistic look. Here are some of the shots. Flower against a brick wall. I wanted the backgro[...]
Modestly glamorous
I love shooting friends who have gotten tired of fighting me and my camera off, and have just accepted the reality that they will be photographed. Actually these particular friends like being photographed.
I thought my friend came out stunning in this one. I love the relaxed yet rich expressio[...]
