    And when it is cold like this, Reagan wears her huge hairy hat. She has been playing a fun little game where he tries to do outfit posts each day leading up to her b-day. It has been kind of fun shooting some of them for her, for the 3 days this month that she…

  • So Much Pressure

    I guess that the pressure to start of the year with a golden uplifting post is now gone, since I dropped that depressing bomb of a story about the car problems. But, here is some material to try to liven things a bit. Above: photos we took of each of us on New Year’s day.…

    (Above photo of Greta is for reference only, it was not taken during the incident described below) I have been putting off writing anything because I feel like the first post of the year is such a big deal. But, here it is, January second (almost Jan. 3rd), and I really don’t have anything that…

    Yes, the rumors are true. NYC actually really did get a legitimate snow storm. I used to snicker to myself when they would shut down the schools here because of snow. Growing up in SLC, I recall nary a time when schools were closed because of snow. I haven’t done any side by side statistical…

    Thursday evening we set out on a secret mission that I dubbed “project: snap tree.” We hit 6 trees, all in one evening. We started in DUMBO and worked our way up town, mixing in some burgers along the way. For the most part these shots were a combination of super long exposures with light…

    I guess that “melee” is not the right word to use. But I’m already feeling like I might have been involved in a melee, and the weekend is only half way over. Friday, I shot a Kid Zoom exhibit at one of the Opera Gallery spaces. I’m not going to lie, I am not a…

    I’m not really sure why I did the title in Portuguese. I guess because it seems fancier that way. If I knew Italian, it would have been in Italian. But I don’t, so… Portuguese. Anyway, I roped my relatively shy brother into doing a couple of shoots with me, while he was in town (he…

    Yes, these were taken outside of Dunkin Donuts. Yes, we were buying food there. Greta didn’t seem to be too ashamed. Give her a couple of weeks.

    Man, I’m so glad that the weekend is finally here. In a few minutes, we will be headed out the door to see Piper. I just thought I would share a few photos from last night’s Converse party at their new store in Soho.  Dr. J. came through (I’m almost his same height, BTW): Q-tip…

  • Falcon in the Heights

    Working from home, again today. I was just sitting here, banging away on the keyboard, when out of my peripheral vision, it looked like a low flying plane was about to buzz our building. When I turned to look, it was actually just a falcon coming in for landing on the aerial antenna of the…
