hello everyone, 

I know I have been neglecting my blog and my website in general lately.  I’ve had  quite a crazy  past few months. I am now living in Astoria, NYC. My lady and I decided to try out the city a few months back and before we knew it I was commuting to a new job right after Sandy hit. We signed a lease a few weeks later, moved and started a new life. I have still managed to shoot some photos and I promise to have some new work from the tail end of 2012 as well as start a 2013 portfolio. 

I am hoping to get some shows down here and continue sharing my work as I was upstate.  Please continue to check out my site and i hope you enjoy the work that will soon show up.

p.s. i am looking into the Fujifilm fine pix x100s. has anyone had the x100 and have any comments?

Hello! ,

I just posted some new work on my home page. They can also be seen in the portfolio “Featured Work.” They are all the images that were in my most recent installation that ran for almost two months in Bev Saunders gallery in the Shirt Factory.  The installation was called, “Community Unseen” and I am very proud of  how it came out.

One of my focal photographs was of a gentleman named David. He lives on his own with the help of a social worker do to a mental illness he has had all of his life. He has a gentle soul and I am so happy to have met and photographed him. His photo was featured on my installation cards and he saw them and came to see the show. he he is at my installation. Do to how happy he was to be involved and see himself  i gave him his photograph.

Here are some photos of my current installation, “Community Unseen”. They are all photographs of people from Glens Falls, which lead to the way I installed all the photographs. If you like it go check it out in person! I’m really proud of this show! It will be up until Aug 25 at Bev Saunders studio space in The Shirt Factory.

So its been a while…AGAIN.  I haven’t posted in awhile because I have been uber  busy! My first show is going up in a few weeks and my second show got pushed up a month so I have been working on that one as well. I also currently have three photographs in a members show for NCAC at the 2nd Floor Gallery which will be up until May 25 and then my solo show for the 2nd Floor Gallery will go up May 26. I will also have a new piece in the LARAC members show from May 18 to June 22. Following that my solo show at the Shirt Factory will go up July 8th and will hang until  August 19th.

So all in all I have been a busy bee getting things together when I’m not at work. So I know I haven’t posted any new work recently but I dont want any spoilers for my upcoming installations. But after my receptions I will post the imagery and photos of the installations.
