A Black and White Summer in the City: A Photo Blog

by

They say that the environment affects the artist. Such as how WWI affected Hemingway and the South affected Faulkner. But I believe that the opposite is true. I think the environment as viewed through the artist’s eyes, or words, or lens, in this case, can be affected by the artist. [Read more…] about A Black and White Summer in the City: A Photo Blog

Outdoor Season is in Full Affect! Come Celebrate with Haven Rooftop

by

Fellow New Yorkers- we can breath now, cause rooftop season is finally in full affect! It may be hard for people who are not from here to understand how crucial this time of year is for us. Being cemented to the office for lunch hour or entertaining in your apartment during the colder months can take a toll on you (mentally). This time of year we can take those woes outside and have a cocktail outdoors with no jacket required!   [Read more…] about Outdoor Season is in Full Affect! Come Celebrate with Haven Rooftop

FlyNYON is the Only Way to Really See New York from All Angles!

by

FlyNYON is truly the only way to really get a glimpse of all of New York from an angle that you have to see yourself. An above water, higher than the skyscrapers bird eye view is the ONLY way New York City should be seen.

A New York Noir Christmas: A Midtown Photo Journal

A Photographer’s Retrospective: Part 2

Continuing on my last retrospective, I have chosen 5 photos that I believe most represent New York City.  My photography IS New York City.  I have taken hundreds of photos outside of the city but just like I am from New York, my art is also representative of who I am: a New Yorker.

My Favorite New York City Photos: A Retrospective Part 1

by

Being asked to choose your favorite photos is not hard, it’s impossible. I have never published a photo either in this space or on my Instagram account that I don’t love. If I didn’t love it, I wouldn’t post it. Simple. However, I can choose pieces that effect me for one reason or the other and while I very rarely have spoken publicly on what those emotions are, it might be worth examining some of these pieces now.
