Reportage: Professional Bull Riders @ MSG

Every year the Professional Bull Riders Association comes to NYC's Madison Square Garden for one of it's championships. It seems like it would be the stupidest thing to watch, but it's a fantastic. There is a good mix of Bull Riding, and a nice bit of comedic entertainment. Check it out next year.

Portrait: Chef Dennis Franceschini

This is Dennis Franceschini chef and owner of Bar Italia on New York's Upper East Side. Besides being an excellent cook he is an incredibly warm and welcoming man. I have had the opportunity to photograph his restaurant and eat many plates of his wonderful food. I find my self forever craving his pasta with truffles and have gone multiple times just for it.

Article: Readers Photos: Call Forwarding / Rex Manning Day / Blackberry Tour

It's Rex Manning Day!!!!! Well its not, but its pretty darn close in my book; it's Blackberry Tour Day! The day when after two years I finally get a new Blackberry, and I couldn't be more excited. The thing i'm looking forward to most is the built in 3.2 MP camera. It will be great to have a decent camera with me, while not having to shlep another thing around all the time.  Speaking of time, the New York Times had a really cool post on their Lens blog the other day. Entitled Readers Photos: Call Forwarding , the article  and accompanying gallery was a compilation of user submitted photographs taken on mobile phones. Its pretty amazing to watch as technology evolves and marvel at what it lets us do. 


Now I finaly have an excuse to get the Polaroid Pogo.  If your not familiar with this nifty little printer you should check it out.  It uses the bluetooth in your mobile phone to connect the camera and print 2x3 in peel off photos.  Since I can't get get film for my SX-70 anymore, I think this will have to be the next best thing.  Though reading the reviews just now, I am having some second thoughts.

Reportage: Construction in USQ

Someone resonantly told me that Wisoncoson only has two seasons, Winter and Construction... some weeks I feel like NYC isnt that far off. But hte projects here seem to go on for years.

Bands: Raza Odiada

I recently had the opportunity to do a CD cover shoot for the band Raza Odiada. It was the first time I played with fake wounds, liquid latex and blood, and I now understand why people spend years specializing and learning how to do this stuff. All in all it was a lot of fun and came out really well.

Reportage: New Jersey State Fair at the Meadowlands (Giants Stadium)

Sorry for such a long laps since my post, my computer crashed which had the server password (ie no uploading photos) But were back up and running. To make up for this I have created a 14 image post. Enjoy-





























If you grew up in New Hampshire then this ain't your fathers fair. But as far as us urbanites go its pretty awesome. Don't worry you will still get your fill of all the typical food and activities; Zeppole's, Corn Dog's, Deep-Fried Pickles and Twinkies. For those feeling a twinge of homesickness from growin' up out on the farm you will find Rosaire's Royal Racing Pigs and a Petting Zoo, the first truly is a don't miss. Don't miss the rides either, while this isn't Cedar Point the ride are quite fun and it's worth getting the unlimited ride hand stamp for $17.50.
