A Eye

January 20, 2013 • Leave a Comment

We shot over 7,000 photographs in 2012, so I thought the time has come to talk about particular ones. I called this picture "The Eye."

The Eye: I was invited by DJ Hard Hittin Harry to shoot his debut at the Brooklyn Museum, for Target First Saturdays. It was an outdoor event packed with people, wall to wall.

This couple stood out for me because, the man was, calm cool and collected, safe in the moment, arms around his lady. The woman gave me this look that said: "you may, but do it before, I change my mind."

Night on an Acre

March 02, 2012 • Leave a Comment

I have always wanted to get a photo of the Elevated Acre at night, so after work, I figured I'd plug in, listen to some Sade and tune out the rest of the world as I made my way over. Unfortunately, I arrive thirty minutes late, and they had already closed the front entrance.

I tried this shot before at a distance with my 24-105mm f4L, and the results were horrendous, I knew if I got in close I'd get something meaningful. So I walked around the back music blaring and up steps to get a better perspective. While shooting I hear some garbled noise over Sade, I ignore it and keep shooting.

After 15 minutes I listen to the garbled sound again, I take the headphones off, and it's the building security blaring over the public address "Attention!, Attention! The park is closed, please evacuate". Thankfully I got what I needed. Note to self-don't musically isolate yourself on night shoots.
