Rock & Roll Love Stories by George Koroneos
International iHUG Foundation Gala
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of photographing the second annual iHUG Gala event at the National Arts Club in Manhattan. For those not in the know, iHUG is an acronym for I Help Uganda Grow, a grassroots organization that has not only helped erect a school for...
Gary Taxali At Jonathan Levine
Take advantage of the nice New York weather and head over to Jonathan Levine Gallery to check out the final week of Gary Taxali's solo show "Hindi Love Song." Nine out of ten times, when I ask an artist to do something silly in front of the camera I'm dealt a cold...
Nanubhai Education Foundation Gala
Well after almost a year on hiatus, I thought it was time to bring back my photography blog. For a while I thought it was possible to merge this and my Rock & Roll web magazine into one blog, but alas, I just can't get away with posting photos of pretty people on...
Short Video About Centralia, PA
I decided to see how good the Canon G9 is at shooting video during a recent trip to Centralia, PA. For those that don't know, Centralia is a city that lit an underground coal mine ablaze during a routine garbage burning. Many decades later, almost everyone has moved...
Going Long
I fought the temptation for months, but Canon's instate rebate program sucked me in just two days before it expired. I bought the Canon 2.8L 70-200mm IS lens and am battling with buyers remorse. Okay, maybe not. This is pretty much the powerhouse of Canon's L series,...
Getty to Sell Flickr Images
So Flickr made a pact with the devil. That's what a ton of people in the blogosphere are saying about the photo networking site's recent deal with Getty that will allow the stock giant access to Flickr photos. From what I understand, Getty will hand select the best...
New Shawn Barber Interview in Skin & Ink
Skin & Ink Magazine just published a feature story I wrote about tattoo portrait artist Shawn Barber. For those that don't know, Shawn does portraits of tattoo artists and uses really surreal techniques to capture their limbs at different angles. He was a great...
Adam Wallacavage’s Evil Eye
Those that listen to me babble know that I'm enthralled by the photo works of Adam Wallacavage. The man does some of the best wide angle portraits I've ever seen and I'm obsessed with his use of saturated colors, particularly in his band photos. What I didn't know...
Gallery Photo Hopping
Word of advice: never agree to shoot an art opening the day after getting tattooed on your calf. It's going to hurt and you are going to look like an idiot. Literally 24 hours after going under Sunny Buick's gun, I went to cover the latest show at Jonathan LeVine's...
Getting Tattooed by Sunny Buick
One of the dumbest ideas I've had as of late was to try and interview artist Sunny Buick while she was tattooing me. I lasted one question and then just stopped talking. I did get some nice portraits of her after the tattoo session. Hopefully, I can pick her brain...
Congrats Kid Robot and Toy Baroness
Kid Robot celebrated the release of its 8" Greed Dunny and Toy Baroness's 29th Birthday in style with a huge bash at New York's Knitting Factory. Artists and luminaries came out in droves to party with friends and rock out to a live performance by Spank Rock. Tim...
ScanCafe Final Update
I just realized that I never posted a final review of my ScanCafe experience. Well, after nearly three months of waiting, I received a nice little box from ScanCafe with a fancy DVD (full-size case with custom art) and my original photos in the shoddy packaging I had...
