The NYC Photography Gallery Report: Chelsea Edition
My new year’s photography resolution for this year is to try and break out of a creative rut any which way I can. SLR Lounge recently had a good article on six ways to do just that. One of the article’s suggestions was to take a field trip. And since visiting NYC’s numerous art galleries…
For the Best Portrait Lens, (Focal Length) Size Matters
One question I always get when taking someone’s portrait is, ‘what’s with the big lens?’ The lens I use most often for portraits is my huge 70-200mm telephoto zoom lens. The lens is 7.8 inches long, and weighs a little over three pounds. It’s an arm workout for sure. That said, this lens is great…

These are the orthodontists I wish I had as a child. Dr. Barr, Dr. Bridgham,…

The venue, which is basically a large open space with exposed brick walls, was the perfect place to set the hip-hop-themed event.
The Blizzard Cometh to NYC
I hope all of my fellow New Yorkers have had the chance to go play in the snow this evening! We were walloped with 25 inches (and still waiting for the official count) of snow starting at around midnight last night. I went out this evening at 8:30 p.m. to check out the status of…
