I photographed my friends Miniature Trains...Amazing...

I was invited to take photos of my friend Frankie's uncle's Miniature Trains, Uncle Al. He lives in Staten Island so I took a ride out there this week, rented some lighting and some lenses and did a full day photo shoot.
Uncle Al has been working on this train set for about 20 years, it is totally amazing. Check out the photos.

Here I am featured at the New York Optimist...

Jon Sebastian of the New York Optimist took it upon himself to go through many of my NY photos from my website and post some of them along with my Bio at his website.
He did a great job!
I mentioned I met Jon at the Javits Center last week and he kept his word... very quickly too I might add.

Take a look at the site....

I met John Sebastian at the Javits Center this weekend for the Contemporary ArtFair.

We also had discussions about a book he is printing in December.

During the Marathon last week I took some photos from my friends balcony on 79th and 1st, got some great shots from there. The apt was on the 24th floor.


A few weeks back I went on a helicopter ride around Manhattan and got some shots from that day too. I have been in a helicopter over Manhattan before 2 times and the cityscape is always changing....especially after Sept. 11th.

Went to Philly on Tuesday to shoot some photos....

Philly is a nice town, not as big as Boston but some good opportunites for photos. The best place for me to shoot was on top of city hall. It is a great spot to see the whole city and we had a perfect day to go also.
It was nice except for our bus breaking down on the way home so it took us 6 hours to get home instead of 2 hours.
