City Before Dawn
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.

Back To My Roots
I’m slowly starting to shoot B&W film again – getting back to where it all started. I have a Mamiya C220 just waiting to be held, but have resisted because of the cost factor in getting it all developed, printed, scanned, etc… A few photographer friends suggested sending the film to Richard Photo Lab in California. If you’re itching to get back into shooting film I highly recommend using them. You ship the film (35, 120 or sheet), they return the negatives with contact sheets and a digital scan of each negative. All for about $20. Here are a few recent B&Ws – shot on location at Fanelli Cafe in SoHo, NYC.

On The Streets of SoHo
PDN’s Photo Plus Expo was here in NYC last week. I’ve been going to this week long “party” for well over a decade now and always have a lot of fun meeting new people and catching up with old friends. From the Lucie Awards on Monday to the final party on Saturday (and of course the Expo and Shoot NYC all day from Thursday to Saturday), it’s energizing being around so many creative people.
As I mentioned in my last post, I recently photographed model and actress Erin Currin. For this session we let the environment dictate the look and feel of each shot, and came upon some interesting backdrops. I love being spontaneous and just letting it all happen. I shoot that way in the studio as well, but outside you can’t always control what’s happening in the background. It makes for some fun photos. Below are some photos – photographed on location in SoHo, NYC.

Around New York City
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
