A trip to Eastern State Penitentiary in Philly PA

If you're looking for a great photo op, Eastern State Penitentiary is a fantastic place to take photographs. I added my creative twist by using presets in Lightroom & filters. The photo below titled "Window & Green Paint" is available for sale by clicking on this link:  Redbubble.com

2010 Snowstorm Highlights

Photographed mirror reflection- self-portrait taken in Riverside Park:

These images were taken on the upper west side of Manhattan at the following locations: Riverside Park, Central Park & Broadway. The "2 Feet" of snow was taken on West 83rd Street, supposedly by a maintenance worker of the nearby building.  I'm working on a series of overexposed images of people which I plan to turn into mixed media pieces...when these pieces are completed I will follow-up with a later post.

My Beginning Of The Year Photos, 2010

1. This year started with me celebrating the new year with my old friend of over 30 years, Magnum Photographer Extradordinaire & Olympus Visionary , Eli Reed. He is now in Nigeria working on a video.  In the image below Eli is in my living room with my dog pal Bob.

We will be collaborating on an interesting project. She will give women tips on dating and finding Mr. Right and I will be taking their portraits for online dating. 

4. Yesterday I went to Michael's Art Store on Columbus Avenue to have a restored photo (I hand-colored with pastels) framed.  The first frame my client picked up was perfect.  We really got lucky to have the very talented artist and framer Rachel Katzenellenbogen pick the perfect mattes to go along with the frame.
