Air Show from Republic Airport @ Farmingdale, NY

Rather than braving the crowd of thousands (approximate 200,000 people showed up on Saturday) for the view of the air show down at Jones Beach, I opted for watching the planes take off, do flybys and land at the Republic Airport in Farmingdale, NY. Had some great views of the Blue Angels and a flyby from a C-130 as well as the Geico vintage WWII Sky Typers.

Chicago at Night

I took a trip to Chicago last night for business and took advantage of the opportunity to shoot some skyline photos in the evening. The weather provided the perfect opportunity and, after some searching, I managed to find two great locations to shoot the skyline from. It’s definitely trickier than shooting New York, where you have an adjacent, parallel piece of land to shoot from.

Bowlive III – Soulive @ Brooklyn Bowl | 3.7.12

I had an incredible week of shooting Soulive at Brooklyn Bowl for their annual “Bowlive” residency. Not sure how I was still standing at the end of the week, given the minimal amounts of sleep I got each night- must have been the music! Tons of great guests, fantastic moments and wonderful music. This was definitely a killer warm-up for SXSW this coming week.

D’Addario Pro Arte Concert | Carnegie Hall 2.2.2012

I had the pleasure of shooting a performance as part of the D’Addario Music Foundation Pro Arte series at Carnegie Hall on Thursday night. Two incredible guitarists, Cecilio Perera and Johannes Möller, performed for a full audience at Weill Recital Hall. Cecilio is the 2011 winner of the 44th Michele Pittaluga International Guitar Competition held in Alessandria, Italy. Johannes is the 2010 winner of the Guitar Foundation of America Competition.

NYC Winter Jazzfest 2012 | Night Two – Part I

Night two of the Winter Jazzfest brought on another great evening of music. It’s interesting to look back on the night and realize that I was listening to live music for 7+ hours. Great way to spend a Saturday evening, if you ask me.
