I was on the Q32 heading home last week and I saw this affectionate couple by Manhattan Mall.
as the saints go marching in. jeniviva mia procession, tompkins square park. on Flickr.
As the band played “As The Saints Go Marching In” on Jeniviva Mia’s birthday memorial procession, everyone was dancing, singing, and having a great time - New Orleans meets NYC style. While Jen was a NYC girl, she was always enamored with New Orleans (thanks to reading those Anne Rice novels!), and loved the food, the jazz, the free-spirited culture. It was great having a little bit of that spirit here in NYC & was a perfect birthday memorial if I ever saw one.

With Valentines Day quickly approaching, store windows are getting a bit creative with the theme. This is from the window at Cursive at Grand Central.

More pre-Valentine’s madness. This is at Duane Reade.
when you are away. on Flickr.
I was in the Meatpacking District this week for a small corporate photo shoot, and on the way back I saw this chair in the window of Anthropologie at Chelsea Market. The saying on the chair made me think of my friend Jen who passed away a few weeks ago.
late night on the 7. on Flickr.
Take the 7 train in the wee hours of the morning after a Friday night out, and the train is usually packed. Here is a shot I was able to get of a couple snuggling and dozing off, likely after a good night out.
For the most part, this blog has been focused on my street photography and candid shots but I figured that I’d show you another side to my work. I’ve been hired in the past for portraits, events, band shots, press shots, performances, etc. A little while ago, I did a shoot for my friends April and Steve who are expecting their first baby this month. They are an amazing couple, and last fall I did a shoot of their band, The Rosies at a semi-abandoned estate. The shots came out fantastic, and I offered to do a maternity shoot which is something I’ve never done, and since I’m working on my portfolio, I figured this was a good opportunity!
We spent a lovely afternoon at Astoria Park which provided a wonderful setting, especially with a few shots overlooking the bridge, a couple by the ice cream truck (not staged - he was there!), but this one, simply on a park bench is quite possibly my favorite of the set.
I definitely try not to do the cookie cutter approach to my photoshoots, and I just kind of let the magic happen when on location.
