What's your favorite thing to photograph? You might think it's food for me but it's actually CLOUDS! I love clouds. Fluffy ones, anime looking ones, dark stormy ones. No one cloud looks like another cloud and once you miss it....that's it.
NYC
If Not Now, Then When?
in NYC, Photography, Brooklyn
Here are some random snaps I took in April and May. A nice break from all the food photos eh? Everyone should really take a moment and just take in all the great scenes and architecture NYC has to offer. Try not to walk too fast or you'll miss some things like the beautiful reflected lights on the library or the intense shadows during sunset or a group of women dancing at night.
Concrete Jungle
Wythe Hotel in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
No matter if you hate NYC or love NYC, you have to admit the skyline is pretty incredible. If you can, hop into a car, after sun down, turn on some jazz and drive down the FDR. This happened to me few years ago and it was one of those "wow I'm in NYC" moment. Something about the beat of jazz music, the lights and the buildings zooming by really got me inspired.
Foodaissance, Two Years
in Food, Foodaissance, NYC, Photography
Chris and Beth, the day the sign for their store, Eastern District, went up.
So it's been two years since I started my photo project, Foodaissance. Well actually I started this back in the summer of 2010 but didn't really get the name and site together till April of 2011. It's been quite a journey since when I first started. Obviously the best thing that came out of this project, is the chance to meet all the wonderful food people I have met and happy to call them my friends! This was one of my main goals for this project, to meet the people behind the foods I eat on a regular basis. And to try and keep that relationship going because I want to support them even after I finished my project.
The second best thing that came out of this project was my solo show at the James Beard House. That was totally crazy and really couldn't have done it without all the support from family and friends.
Thanks everyone for going on this journey with me and looking forward to meeting many more passionate people!
