For nearly a year now a friend (and bicycle engineer) and I had this idea to mount a tripod post onto a tricycle. The plan was try all sorts of experimental photography from the bike. This first set is a series of 20-30 second exposures of some of the streets in Trenton at night. Some of the...

Author James Scott asked me to take his portrait for his newest book and lecture tour. He had been resistant to have his photo taken because he didn’t want the image to reinforce any stereotypes as a Financial Consultant. He came to the table with an awesome character portrait concept...

Dr. Sketchy is group that provides models for art organizations and invites artists to draw and photograph. Artworks in Trenton hosted one of these events and the theme was Tarantino Movies – how great is that? There was even all the great music from the films playing while artists were...

I worked with Panoply Books in Lambertville, NJ to expand their image library for advertising. We had several different tapestries for backgrounds and Roland, the owner, picked out the books with covers that had a face on it. I love it when business owners have creative ideas and need a set of...

Here is a compilation of a few photo sessions from the last few months. I can’t help myself but to shoot in black and white. Why are we drawn to black and white portraits ? Is it the graphic quality that helps us concentrate on form, or an evenness of tone, without the distraction of...

Photo shoot for artist and designer Joseph Bottari. He has been working on series of paintings, stencils and the jewelry pendant – all based on the famous Robert Indiana ‘LOVE’ sculpture. It’s a cool idea to hijack a recognizable piece of art, modify it just enough to...

I was invited to create an installation in the ArtLab at Artworks in Trenton. The room was rather large and I wasn’t so sure about building something on-site. So I decided to paint all the walls with chalk board paint and invite the community to write something on the walls with chalk. I...

Despite what you think you know, there’s always room for more. Who said ‘The more I learn the less I know’ – [Socrates, perhaps]. I took a portrait lighting workshop and it was fun as heck studying light. We practiced some ideas in lighting that I’d have never...

We'll Make Great Pets, the song by the band Porno For Pyros (Perry Farrell of Jane's Addiction) was playing in my head the whole time. And continues when I look at these images.

After Burn was a project I was asked to participate in the Fall of 2011. The concept was borrowed from a group that once a year would have a back yard fire and invite artists to bring one piece of their own to chuck on the fire and be rid of it - love it. Although the attendance of our Burn was a bit light, the collaborative minds were engaged - initially - with seeming hidden agendas becoming obviously unraveled.

Every now and then I get asked to design something (since that’s what I used to do) – and one of the reasons I shifted into photography was in part due to the less-than-stellar images provided for layouts etc. As the years roll by, I built a fairly large image library I can draw...

Jersey Fresh is an annual graffiti jam held in Trenton. Writers from all over NJ, NY, DC and MEX descend to ascend the walls at TerraCycle (a firm that makes pencil cases out of potato chip bags amongst other things). Organized by Leon Rainbow and his crew Vicious Styles, this event gets...
