Brian Meece CD Photo

2009-10-28T07:47:00.000-07:00

A few months ago I worked with a talented local musician, Brian Meece, shooting images for his upcoming CD. That CD has now been released and I thought I'd share the final artwork.

2009-10-22T08:06:00.001-07:00

Shot October 10th, 2009 at the Queens County Farm. Queens, NY. A beautiful day. Hayride for the kids, goats, horses, chickens, and a corn maze which was a perfect location for portraits.

Maria & Esko Wedding #2

2009-10-22T08:02:00.001-07:00

Shot October 10th, 2009 at the Queens County Farm. Queens, NY. As you can see, this set is mostly about the kids, who were having thier own dance party on the other side of the reception room. Needless to say they were hamming it up for the camera.

Shot in New York City, Sept 26th. Meat Packing District and the High Line. A really fun and quite photogenic couple from CT. I'm looking forward to shooting their wedding in April.

Jeremy & Nina Wedding

2009-10-16T10:32:00.001-07:00

Shot in New York City, Sept 26th. A beautiful and simple occasion with so many great people! Jeremy & Nina are both talented actors and have built amazing relationships with some seriously talented people over the years. During dinner, instead of dancing there was a talent show, which allowed friends and family to get on stage, share a few words about the couple and perform.

Sam & Annie Wedding. New Roschelle, NY.

2009-08-18T06:21:00.001-07:00

This past weekend I had the pleasure of shooting a wedding in New Roschelle, NY.
It was my second Jewish wedding and I must say it was such a blast! I enjoyed learning more about the Jewish traditions and customs, and being right in the middle of all the dancing was more fun then a mosh pit.

Here are just a few of my favorites:

Album art for Brian Meece, Ukulele Player

2009-08-10T20:31:00.000-07:00

I recently had the fortune of working with Brian Meece, a NY based ukulele player. We did sessions both in the studio and at Coney Island. Below are a few of my favorites.

Andrew & Melissa Wedding. Bedford Hills, NY.

2009-07-20T19:20:00.000-07:00

Saturday I went upstate with my good friend and amazing dress maker Janelle Funari from Orangia (she made the Mother of the Bride's dress) to photograph the wedding of Andrew and Melissa. Both from San Francisco, the had a small ceremony and reception on the grounds of an organic farm. There were goats, Llamas, a bull, turkeys, and roosters.
A very small and elegant affair that was quite fun. Funny how both Janelle and I were reminded of Northern California at this wedding.

Etan & Jackelyn Wedding. Brooklyn, NY.

2009-07-08T13:40:00.000-07:00

Shot the Etan & Jackelyn wedding Prospect Hall in Brooklyn. My first Jewish wedding, and boy was I impressed with the celebration! A great time was had by all, and of coarse the photos are amazing.

Some Thoughts About Networking

2009-07-01T11:00:00.000-07:00

First of all, I kind of hate it.

But it must be done, especially in this day and age. I'm beginning to realize that all the promo cards and e-mail blasts, and portfolio drop offs only do so much towards getting you closer to that big job (or any job for that matter). It's WHO YOU KNOW and who knows you, and who can refer you.
So, I have been trying, since I've come to New York, to make it to every social function I possibly can (especially those with free snacks and booze), to mingle and meet. Other photographers, Stylists, Hair and Make-up people, producers, and ESPECIALLY those who have the real power, the art buyers, and photo editors. So far I've only become aquainted with more of the former then the latter, buy hey, I've only been here 6 months, give me a break!

Last night I attended a networking event hosted by Adhesive NYC who's sole mission I can tell so far, is to bring creative people in this city together in a fun environment to mingle, have a few drinks, and share business info.
This one was held at an interesting place called The Frying Pan, essentially a light ship built in 1929 that's docked at Pier 66 in the Hudson River Park. It's pretty cool because you can get on the boat and explore it and stuff while drinking beer from the bar on the barge next to it. You can check out the cabins and the engine room, and there's even a couch where you can hang out!

Anyway, I digress.

So here I am at the big networking event with my new friend Cristin Shea, a Producer who runs Found Productions, (who btw is also from SF) and my friend Erin who is not new, but really young.
So we're hanging out, drinks in hand, looking at all these people. None of which we know! Something I really am not used to, seeing as that I lived in SF for almost 20 years and knew almost EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE CITY! Seriously, that's why I had to leave.
We're looking at all these people, just wondering who was who and who does what and talking about how hard it is to just go up to a person you've never met to just say, "Hi, I'm _______". I mean for me it's not impossible, but for some reason, last night was tough. So I say to Cristin, "ok, we're going to play a game, you pick out someone or a group of people in conversation, and I'll go up to them to introduce myself. If I come back with a business card, it's your turn!".

A good idea, really. One that I'll certainly try next time. Good thing there's another Adhesive event in 30 days.

Blue Tears. Brooklyn, New York

2009-06-28T19:16:00.000-07:00

Worked with local hip hop duo Blue Tears (Robin Hood and Sami) over the weekend, shooting for their promo package. Shot on location in Brooklyn we hit up an industrial building's freight elevator and the rooftop of a 15 story apartment building overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, and the guys were a blast to work with.

Sacred Hand Catalog Shoot: Jeremy's Foray Into Suburban Bliss

2009-06-18T06:05:00.000-07:00

Spent last weekend with two of my favorite friends, who I've known since I was about 17 years old. John and Erin Bradley. They live in Gaithersburg, MD and have two beautiful children. Finnian and Fiona.

I was invited down to shoot images for Erin's clothing line, Sacred Hand, which was a great success. I also got to experience first hand the wonders of suburban living and raising children, something that I surpisingly enjoyed.
The shoot took place beside a mexican restaurant in a small shopping district near the Bradley home. A perfect location that worked so well with the colors and patterns of Erin's designs.
The "models" were so fun to work with and were extremely photogenic.
Thanks to Erin, John and all the parents who made this shoot possible.

A weekend in the State Lunatic Asylum at Taunton

2009-06-10T06:46:00.000-07:00

This past weekend, my travel companions and I decided to pay one last visit to the Lunatic Asylum at Taunton, as it's scheduled for demolition and will most likely be coming down this Summer.

Opened in 1854 the Taunton Lunatic Asylum received many of the patients from the overcrowded Worcester State Hospital..
Designed in a new-classical style by the architect Elbridge Boyden, it's most striking and unique features are the enclosed walkways connecting the main structure to the two infirmary buildings which were added in the 1890's (one of which is no an active juvenile facility, the bridge having been destroyed). It's cupolas and cast iron capitals and window bars also add to this buildings unique personality.

The Administration section in the center caught fire and burned in 2006 leaving it a heap of bricks and rubble. All that is left of this beautiful structure are the wings on each side which housed the male and female patients, one sun breezeway, and the Turburculosis infirmary.

It will be a sad day when this building, the last of the Massachusetts Kirkbrides is gone.

Shoot For Nexx Unlimited featuring Jay Heiron, IFL Fighter

2009-03-14T21:23:00.000-07:00

Did a shoot with IFL fighter Jay Heiron for Nexx Unlimited on Long Island last week.
Pretty exciting for me, having had a secret love for ultimate fighting for a couple years now.
He was a cool guy as was his manager Dan Tibbs.
After getting kicked off our first location by the local police, who didn't seem to like the looks of us, we were able to find another suitable spot just as the sun hit the horizon.

Also did a few in the gym.
