I am a big fan of the Scot Kelby crew. Especially, Matt Kloskowski. His expertise in Adobe Lightroom is rather awesome. And in all honesty I have never used the Previous button. But I was just playing around with it a few minutes ago and it's helpful. Additionally, Matt touches on a few more little gems in Lightroom -- like using the Option key (MAC) when moving the Black or White slider. … [Read more...]

You generally think of cityscape photography as casted under a beautiful yellow Sun and blue sky. And so do I. So much so that I focus my moments during blue hour. But each and every once in a while — convention must be challenged. And over the past few days there has been more fog in the early, New York City, morning than usual.

But only if your paying attention. The early morning is still sleepy. … [Read more...]

Where am I specifically? Pier 1 -- north of the Brooklyn Bridge. And what is interesting about my time at Brooklyn Bridge Park -- is that I have never traveled south of Pier 1.

I am so very honored to be working with Google New York on this photowalk. I was asked a few weeks ago by the Google+ Local New York City team. But our schedules conflicted. And when I mean conflicted I mean that I was not available :-) In any event, if you are in New York City on May 11 -- I would love to see you. We can walk the Lake. And chit-chat about photography. And even grab a … [Read more...]
The Story A true photograph need not be explained, nor can it be contained in words. -- Ansel Adams When you are looking through the view finder or monitor. It's hard -- sometimes -- to tell if what you have captured is what you see. In your mind. Why? Because in your mind's eye you have already completed the image. And it perfectly conveys your emotions. And profoundly connects with your … [Read more...]
