This is the sunrise from my rooftop.

The view of the Freedom Tower / One World Trade Center from my rooftop.

It occurred to me tonight that since moving to my new place in July, I haven’t taken any real photos from my rooftop. Sure, I’ve taken tons of snaps with my phone and plastered them all over facebook, but I’ve neglected the opportunity to really shoot from up there. What a waste! Not that that I did much real shooting up there tonight – I just grabbed my camera, stuck on my 70-200 lens and up I went, but it’s a crystal clear night and you can see forever and I’m pleased with the handful of shots I took. More to come (I have a birds-eye view of the new Freedom Tower / 1 World Trade Center that’s making its way skyward).

This is a handheld shot, so forgive the lack of perfectly clear detail, but that bridge in the background is the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge and it’s 7 miles away!

I couldn’t decide whether I liked the color or black & white version better, so I’m posting both.

I couldn’t resist this gorgeous weather we had in the city today, so I headed outside for a day-long stroll.  First I grabbed a bagel from my favorite bagel place, Tony Bagelz, then I walked through Gowanus, Carroll Gardens, the Columbia Street waterfront, Brooklyn Heights and to the new Brooklyn Bridge Park where I spent the better part of the afternoon walking around and people-watching.

Then I wandered around DUMBO and across the Brooklyn Bridge, which is undergoing a facelift over the next 4 years.

Finally, I headed into lower Manhattan, where I tracked down the Wafels & Dinges truck and had my favorite, the Liege wafel with Spekuloos and strawberreis. YUM!

What a spectacular day! Autumn is my favorite time to be in NYC and I’m looking forward to having many more spontaneous adventures.

Recently, NYC (specifically Brooklyn and Queens) experienced quite a storm. I was in Manhattan in the NY Times Building at the time, and took this shot shortly after the storm passed through. This is the view looking towards the south, down 8th Avenue.  I took this shot with my Droid!

My (woefully neglected) website is undergoing a bit of a makeover, so I apologize if anything looks odd or doesn’t work over the next day or so.  I’m very excited about the new look and all the new stuff I’ve got ready to post here.  Stay tuned!

I just got back from an amazing week in Nashville, TN where I took part in the Digital Wedding Forum Convention. I feel completely recharged after learning from some of the most influential photographers in the world and spending time with friends old and new.  One of my favorite parts of the convention was participating in a shootout with Chuck Arlund. Below are a few images from that shootout. I can hardly wait for next year!

This cute little squirrel was having himself a snack out on my neighbor’s deck. He wasn’t even bothered by my camera.

Hi everyone,

I wanted to post here to apologize to anyone who may have sent me a message through this site in the past 2 – 3 weeks, as you haven’t received a response from me.  It just came to my attention this evening that my email account was marking everything from this site as spam and sending it to my spam folder.

The good news is that I don’t think any messages were deleted and I will do my best to respond to everyone by tomorrow.

Again, I apologize for the lack of response and will get in touch with you as soon as I can!

Thanks.
