Chris Gethard’s Super Secret Show 4.5
This weekend we were lucky enough to take part in comedian Chris Gethard’s super secret show. For those that don’t know him, Chris is a comic genius and part of the Upright Citizen’s Brigade. He’s been part of the Conan O’Brien Show, plays a super fan on ESPN, and starred in a one man show [...]
Attack of the Killer Apps
Last Thursday, I spent the evening surrounded by people 10 to 100 times smarter then me. The event was the NYC Big Apps Awards and the players were all phone application developers vying for the prestigious prize of being known as the best app maker in New York (there was some cash involved too). Here’s [...]
I Shot My First President
I’d be lying if I said I don’t get nervous before photo shoots, but after years of photographing rock stars, famous artists, and business big wigs I tend to put on a happy face and just do my job as best as I can no matter how prestigious the subject is. That was until two [...]
Space Invader Takes Over NYC
You’ve got about a week left to check out the Invader exhibit in New York City, just in case you’ve been dragging your feet on it. I had a chance to photograph the artist at the gallery just after the opening festivities and he was a blast to work with. During his book signing, I [...]
Renovate, Restore, Celebrate – m650 Flats
On Saturday, I got the chance to photograph a slightly different type of house party. m650 Flats is a condo project by Brunelleschi Construction designed to give new life to an old Jersey City chemical factory. The fully renovated building now sports 22 modern condos with floor-to-ceiling windows and some stunning views of the surrounding [...]
International iHUG Foundation Gala
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of photographing the second annual iHUG Gala event at the National Arts Club in Manhattan. For those not in the know, iHUG is an acronym for I Help Uganda Grow, a grassroots organization that has not only helped erect a school for impoverished African children in the village of [...]
Gary Taxali At Jonathan Levine
Take advantage of the nice New York weather and head over to Jonathan Levine Gallery to check out the final week of Gary Taxali’s solo show “Hindi Love Song.” Nine out of ten times, when I ask an artist to do something silly in front of the camera I’m dealt a cold stare and told [...]
Nanubhai Education Foundation Gala
Well after almost a year on hiatus, I thought it was time to bring back my photography blog. For a while I thought it was possible to merge this and my Rock & Roll web magazine into one blog, but alas, I just can’t get away with posting photos of pretty people on the same [...]
Gallery Photo Hopping
Word of advice: never agree to shoot an art opening the day after getting tattooed on your calf. It’s going to hurt and you are going to look like an idiot. Literally 24 hours after going under Sunny Buick’s gun, I went to cover the latest show at Jonathan LeVine’s Gallery for Juxtapoz, and I’m [...]
Congrats Kid Robot and Toy Baroness
Kid Robot celebrated the release of its 8″ Greed Dunny and Toy Baroness’s 29th Birthday in style with a huge bash at New York’s Knitting Factory. Artists and luminaries came out in droves to party with friends and rock out to a live performance by Spank Rock. Tim Biskup manned the turntables as hundreds of [...]
Locked & Loaded
Josh Liner Opening Locked & Loaded by George L. Koroneos Joshua Liner’s new gallery opened up last week and the place was packed with people and great work. I had a blast photographing dozens of artists that attended the VIP previews, and probably fired off more than 400 photos over the course of the three [...]
Fun with Depth of Field
Sure, shooting parties is fun, but how many times can you take the same photo of people laughing and posing with beer? I decided to switch things up a little at a group opening at Jonathan Levine this past Friday. Here’s a shot of Carlo McCormick’s son Tristan with all focus on the kid. I [...]
Wrestling with the Stars
Wrestlemania might have come and gone, but I’m still shocked that I got the opportunity to photograph last week’s WWE press conference. I felt like paparazzi, fighting it out to get the best shot, but it was so worth it. For the record, the Big Show really is that gigantic and Triple H is an [...]
Tara McPherson and Lori Earley at Levine
Here’s a slideshow of photos from the Tara McPherson and Lori Earley’s joint show at Jonathan Levine. Check out Juxtapoz.com for a full write-up of the opening.

GLK Creative In Inked
Wow, I can actually say that I’m in the same magazine as Slash. Check out the new issue of the recently relaunched Inked Magazine for a photo spread I shot at a recent gallery opening. I rarely get to see my work on glossy pages and was blown away by the color saturation in the [...]
It's Been a TRIP
In the last two weeks, I’ve photographed two parties for the multimedia film experience TRIP. Last week, I got try out my new Canon 50mm 1.4 lens, which take some magnificent portrait shots. The 1.6x crop factor in my 40D makes the lens essentially an 80mm piece of glass allowing me to stand a decent [...]
Procession of the Ghouls
Click for Full Photolog of The Procession of the Ghouls on Flickr! For the fifth year (not in a row), I’ve made the journey up to Harlem the Friday before Halloween to bare witness to the most stunning Halloween spectacular currently being produced. No, it’s not a haunted house or some fright fest, each year, [...]
Mark Dean Veca at Jonathan LeVine
Every month I make the pilgrimage to Chelsea to photograph and review the gallery’s art openings for either Juxtapoz or one of the many other local art mags or sites. Last Friday I was super excited, because the main artist showing was Chris Mars of The Replacements (a fact that I didn’t discover until that [...]
