The Story Behind the Photographs
This morning I started my new personal project, “City Before Dawn.” Once a week, for the next few months, I’ll photograph different Manhattan neighborhoods before sunrise. My first stop this morning was SoHo (photos below). Stay tuned for more images of the city that never sleeps.
Had a bit of fun a week ago shooting with Beth Caldwell (a photo editor with Animal Planet) on the streets of New York City. We took a break from our location in Central Park and walked to an adjacent street. The wet pavement, the crowds, overcast sky – the entire scene was screaming CSI. So we set up a mock advertisement showing Beth with her husband Fletcher. We didn’t need the long dark overcoats or guns. The attitude says it all.
Tribute in Light on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. On location in SoHo, NYC. Very moving day.
Here is what’s worth attending in NYC over the few weeks. I’m sure there’s more going on, so if I’ve left something out let me know and I’ll send out an update.

Spent some time this past weekend working on images I recently shot in New York. Even though we all see in color, this is really a black and white city
5th Avenue / SoHo
Empire State Building
My first year in NYC was kind of a whirlwind tour de force. There is so much going here. It can certainly get overwhelming. But if you pick one or two things per week it can be manageable. This week (actually tomorrow) is the Chelsea Art Walk. If you’re in NYC I would highly recommend going. Twenty-two galleries all within walking distance from each other.
