Now that I’m moving onto this dark thing… Black backgrounds are so completely different to shoot on. The black just wraps itself around the subject matter. Where white is wholesome, clean, crisp and elegant, and never loses my subject, black is erotic, deep, surrounding and foreboding (but not in a creepy kind of way), and [...]

Shooting from the Hip #23

Shooting from the Hip #11
Union Square Market, NYC – 1:37PM, August 7, 2009 Edamame, or baby soybeans, are just about my absolute favorite quick appetizer.

Shooting from the Hip #4
Bin of Bing Cherries, Union Square Market, NYC – 3:00PM, Wednesday, June 24, 2009 Sometimes I just hang around a piece of fruit until it gives me something I can use. (Random note to self: So much rain. The total New York City rainfall from June 1 – June 24 is 8.65 inches. That’s 5.60 [...]
Something to Think About
Seth Godin wrote a very short blog entry, On the Road to Mediocrity. The basic point is, “The only way to get mediocre is one step at a time.” Don’t settle. Simply a brilliant insight. Well worth reading.
