A New York Noir Christmas: A Midtown Photo Journal

by Mark Giarrusso

Rockefeller Center Noir, Christmas

New York City at Christmas is a magical time. The lights, the crowds, the noise. This post is the opposite. Black and white, quiet, pensive. Moments of quiet reflection I managed to catch even in the chaos of Rockefeller Center. [Read more…] about A New York Noir Christmas: A Midtown Photo Journal

North Williamsburg: The Next Hipster Frontier

by Mark Giarrusso

Kent and Wythe

North Williamsburg is the next frontier for hipsterism in Brooklyn. Though currently still a wasteland of warehouses and auto shops along the waterfront that offers spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline there are signs of encroaching “hipness”.

Step Away From the Device! A Photographic Response to Technology

by Mark Giarrusso

Step Aside

Stephen King once wrote, “A true romantic will always reject technological advancements.” By that measure, it seems that the world is in dire need of true romantics. How many of us (yes, I am including myself) take the time to actually look up from our phones when we walk down the street? Do your palms get itchy when your phone or tablet or laptop or remote control is out of view? [Read more…] about Step Away From the Device! A Photographic Response to Technology

New York Unfiltered: An Unedited Photo Blog

by Mark Giarrusso

Late Night Stroll

Post picture editing is about 5 minutes older than the art of photography itself. We have gone from painting in color by hand to the endless complexity of Photoshop and Lightroom. Most of the editing I do for my own photos is done through apps on my phone. I rely on post-shot editing in order to express how I truly saw the scene or subject I was photographing.

Moving to Chelsea- Updated Photo Blog

by Mark Giarrusso

From, Chelsea, Uptown

You may recall that earlier this year I shared some photos from the apartment that a friend of mine was looking at in Chelsea. He ended up passing on it in favor of another building a few blocks away. The location is great for him but a photographer’s dream for me. With views of the Freedom Tower and Empire State Building, I was able to capture some great, sweeping cityscapes. I am always remind that art is truly where you find it* and it can be anywhere, even the rooftop of your brand new apartment building.

*More on this in an upcoming article! [Read more…] about Moving to Chelsea- Updated Photo Blog

Nostalgia in Brooklyn- DUMBO Photography

by Mark Giarrusso

Under the Manhattan Bridge

Any native New Yorker will tell you that there is a certain nostalgia that permeates through Brooklyn. Yes, we may reluctantly admit that hipsters have brought a certain “cool” back to BK however, for a lot of us that were raised in NY the essence of Brooklyn goes beyond a bad mustache, know it all attitude and skinny jeans. It’s where out fathers and grandmothers grew up and where our great-grandparents settled after coming through Ellis Island. Next time you take a walk through an area like DUMBO try to imagine it through the hardworking New Yorkers from all over the world that came to Brooklyn and are the original producers of BK slickness.

New York Summer- Westhampton Beach

by Mark Giarrusso

Westhampton 5

Summer in New York City can be relentless.  The heat off the concrete and asphalt can stifle you.  So, where do you go? Jones Beach? Fire Island?  Sure, that would work if, you want to brave the traffic. East Hampton or Southampton?  Maybe, if you were a Kardashian.

West Hampton Beach offers all of the cool ocean breezes of the Jones Beach without all the glitz and glamor of the other Hamptons.  There is a quiet beauty of the surrounding area outside the quaint village.  Every New Yorker needs a respite in the summer and Westhampton Beach is the perfect way to take in some of the best of what Long Island can offer.
