“Dog Park” Reality Show
Animal Planet has a new reality show coming out this summer called “Dog Park”. It follows five dog owners as they circumvent the trials and tribulations of dog park etiquette. For those of you who own a dog and have been to a dog park you know how many different personalities can assemble there – and how many of them clash. It’s one of the few places where a Diva, an Enforcer, a Geek, a Professional and a Prep can hang out with only one thing in common, their dogs. I was asked to take portraits of each with their pooch at a local dog park here in NYC.

With CC Sabathia
Another photo shoot with TeachersCount. This time with pitching great CC Sabathia. Standing next to him you really get a sense of how intimidating he must be when pitching. Off the mound though he’s a giant teddy bear; quiet, loves to laugh and very giving of his time. His mentor is Abe Hobbs, CC’s PE teacher in middle school. They’ve kept in touch over the years and now work together at baseball camps in California. Abe’s family came along (kids are big Yankee fans) and we had some time to take photos before CC arrived. Getting people on set who are not use to being photographed is a lot of fun. Usually shy at first, but give them a minute, show them what you’ve shot and boy do they open up. Here are a few outtakes from the shoot.
