Photographing Fallingwater
I’m obsessed with modern architecture and mid-century modern furniture, so it was a real treat to head on out to Pittsburgh and visit nearby Fallingwater. For non-architecture geeks, Fallingwater is one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s greatest buildings. The impressive structure was build on the side of a waterfall and completed in 1937. In the past [...]
Murderous Housewives
A few weeks back, my good friend Nicole asked me to shoot some photos of her for a Mad Men contest that AMC was running to promote the new season. At the time, I had never seen an episode, but I was aware that the series took place in the early ’60s and everyone on [...]
Photo of the Day: 5/26/2009
I shot this photograph from the East Martello watch tower as I was making my way down the tiny, winding staircase. I love Key West, and would move there in a second if I could find a steady gig. Between the museums, beaches, and stunning sunsets, I think I could keep myself occupied photography-wise for [...]

I just mocked up a cover that’s probably close to what the finally product is going to be. For those curious, the hands and guitar in question belong [...]
Halo Effect
I occasionally get called to photograph my friends’ pets. I’ve never been paid to do it, but I’m tempted to take on pet photography as a I side job. This photo was shot with my new Canon G9 with no flash in the afternoon. The halo around the Zelda’s head works as a really nice [...]
Just BeKaws…
This is an older photo I took at a pretty fancy schmancy art opening in Chelsea. The only reason I went was because Kaws had an early production pieces (I believe it was an artist proof) of his now classic Dissected Companion figure on display. The foot-tall vinyl figure took center stage, surrounded by thousand [...]
Eastern State Penitentiary
Over the weekend I got the hauntingly cool experience of visiting one of the grandest relics of time gone by, Eastern State Penitentiary, located in the heart of Philadelphia. This massive structure is so imposing and massive that it’s hard to not be in awe of its sheer size and history. I spent a few [...]
