Video Promo in the Pipeline!

As some may already know, I shot for Shine Collective, a local Baltimore boutique (here) just over a week ago and it was a huge success. We are planning to show my new promo video that was shot during the the Shine shoot along with a few prints of the photo stills on May 29th at my studio at 3500 Parkdale Ave, 2nd fl., Suite R. The video includes a short interview with me and is sure to be a fun time for all. Thanks for bringing the mad creative skills Dru and Jamie (here) and jamie for the amazing styling (see Shine Above)! I also want to thank Drew, my assistant, and Lea, our wonderful Make-up artist!

Check back here for the opening time. It will probably be around 6:30pm. Our beautiful twin models Zoe and Esther, Recent Johns Hopkins Graduates!, should be in attendance so come out and congratulate them!

We are all Photographers: NYPH 09

Wasn't at the NY Photo Festival on Sunday so I didn't get to see the projections in person but here are a couple that NYPH sent to me via email. At least they figured out a way to document it! It was called "We Are All Photographers Now" and anyone could submit an unlimited number of images (FOR FREE!!!) to be projected during the 2nd annual 09 New York Photo Festival. I submitted about 5 images just a few days before I went up to the Festival. Hopefully lots of photo buyers were there just waiting to see my images glide across the screen and they're just giving me time to recoup from my 4 days in NYC before they all starting to offer me my dream jobs!

Niagara Falls: Maiden of the Mist

I Just returned from a photo / ice hockey trip to Niagara Falls, Ontario. Only a little drama re-entering the good ol' USA...

Upon handing over my passport I was suspected of being some guy wanted on multiple weapons charges! I was made to "assume the position" Cops style at the back of our rental car. All the while, hundreds of people waiting to go through customs looked on in horror. I was then marched off to the interrogation room, well maybe just a small room, where I was eventually finger printed and cross checked with the FBI data base.

I was eventually released and allowed to re-enter my homeland! Will be posting more soon.
