There Will Be Cupcakes.

I photographed Keavy Landreth, painter and creator of Kumquat Cupcakery a couple weeks ago. I adore her and her miniature cupcakes, plus anyone who lets me do THAT to their kitchen (and their face) gets a gold star in my book.

film set

I've been shooting still photographs for an independent feature being shot outside of DC... been getting some great shots just of the cast and crew, and thought I'd share a couple of them. Headed back there later this week to shoot some more and deprive myself of sleep for several days.

Happy Cinco de Mayo

I couldn't help myself, I love this photo. Introducing my darling roommate Huong.

Goodbye, Mamiya 7. Hello, 5D.

So, after taking the photo on the right, my camera broke. Stopped winding, mid-roll, leaving me speechless in my friend's backyard in New Hampshire on the first day of my trip. It is en-route to repair, but meanwhile I finally have moved digital, purchasing a 5D of my very own and have already done several shoots, one of which being for the New York Times. Mom and Dad have never been so proud.

The Rockaways

Went to the Rockaways with a friend of mine last week to take some photos... we're going to try and go to some part of New York we haven't been to once a week to take pictures, although sadly this weekend my Mamiya 7 broke, which is what I shoot most of that stuff with. I'm going to try and get it repaired this week, although it's not going to be the same shooting digital in the meantime!

a couple random shots..

Alpha... and a test shoot

On the left we have a shot I did for Alpha magazine this winter. We were first informed we could not shoot in his office, so we set up in the lobby for two different shots. When he was ready to be photographed, we were then informed that he only would be shot in his office. I think this is officially the fastest I have ever set up a picture, luckily the office was a pretty good location and I think the shoot went well!

The shot on the right is a test I did with photographer Shannon Roddy in her killer apartment.. she's standing in front of a huge brick wall that says "storage for pianos", which leads me to believe that the building, once, was used for storage for pianos.
