Green Day at Madison Square Garden
I'm terribly behind on posts due to a couple of big projects, so I'm going to try to knock out a few in the next two or three days. First off, I shot my first concert at Madison Square Garden a few weeks ago. Green Day were headlining New York's biggest stage and the...
Video Portrait #2: The Gallows
I've been photographing rock bands for some 15 years now, but I always wanted to do more with video. After years of pussyfooting around, I finally got a compact HD video camera with a cockamamie plan to do video portraits of artist, musicians, and underground heroes....
Julius Shulman 1910–2009
Image by medienfrech via Flickr The photo world just lost one of its masters. According to the Los Angeles Times, photographer Julius Shulman died yesterday from being really freaking old. Shulman is best known for his architecture photography. I look at a room or a...
Space Invader Takes Over NYC
You've got about a week left to check out the Invader exhibit in New York City, just in case you've been dragging your feet on it. I had a chance to photograph the artist at the gallery just after the opening festivities and he was a blast to work with. During his...
Renovate, Restore, Celebrate – m650 Flats
On Saturday, I got the chance to photograph a slightly different type of house party. m650 Flats is a condo project by Brunelleschi Construction designed to give new life to an old Jersey City chemical factory. The fully renovated building now sports 22 modern condos...
Being Andrew Michael Ford
I'll post a little bit about Andrew and his new gig at Last Rites Gallery as soon as I get some free time. In the meantime, enjoy this portrait I took of the curator on a rooftop overlooking 35th Street.
Photo of the Day 5/28/2009: Dave Vanian
About two weeks ago, I got the opportunity to photograph one of my favorited bands, The Damned, at Irving Plaza in NYC. The band gave me the rare opportunity to shoot for as long as I wanted with flash (a rarity for concert photographers). After a few minutes, I found...
Cheers to Rob and Jeannette
Just got back from Miami and the wedding of one of my oldest friends, Rob Fee and his lovely new bride Jeannette Mallozzi. The two tied the knot in the 12th century Ancient Spanish Monastary shipped to Florida by William Randolph Hearst in the 1920s. The reception was...
Photo of the Day: 5/26/2009
I shot this photograph from the East Martello watch tower as I was making my way down the tiny, winding staircase. I love Key West, and would move there in a second if I could find a steady gig. Between the museums, beaches, and stunning sunsets, I think I could keep...
Video Portrait #1: Blek Le Rat & Doze Green
I shot the film above a few months back, but completely forgot to post it on the blog. It's pretty much a pilot episode for a video portrait series I plan on doing involving various creative types (artists, musicians, comedians) that I'm fond of or friends with. It's...
Shooting Through Ray Guns
This past Saturday I shot a series of paintings for Harry Saylor, owner and proprietor of Jersey-based, pop art gallery Orbit Gallery Space. He's putting the finishing touches on his new book called "EdgyCute" from Mark Batty Publisher and needed me to take some last...

Image by Roby© via Flickr This is a hybrid business/tech article, as I'm not about to tell you how to go about investing or actually managing what you do with your money. What I do want to talk about is the basic process of balancing your checkbook and just keeping...
