CONCRETE NYC

concrete_bar_photoshoot.jpg

When I lived in NYC, I was commissioned by the owner of this place to shoot it before the grand opening. Since I never really received compensation (i wont go into details) and the owner turned out to be a super horrible person. I sometimes forget (on purpose) about this photo-shoot all together.

I wish things would have turned out better, but the owner ripped off everyone that helped him get where he is today and he is pretty [...]

Chairs

On 11 Mar ’13
This is exactly how I received the chairs there are 4 in total this one wasn't in the best nor the worst shape out of the bunch.

When we moved to New Orleans, we didn’t have well almost any furniture. We brought a futon from NYC, and our computer desk’s and chairs. But other than that we had 2 giant empty rooms in the front of the house. We eventually purchased a table and with that we needed a couple chairs. I don’t know how many of you have been looking recently, but decent handmade kitchen chairs cost a fortune. I will not go to ikea. A neighbor [...]

Dawn and I bought this from a guy on Sunday. His first text said meet me at McDonald’s in 20 minutes ill be in a green Chevy truck. I told him that we arrived and he sent me a new text saying he would be in a blue van.

Well he came and the bike was fine. I should have asked about the mixup, But decided that maybe he was just having a bad day. So now we have a [...]

Plymouth

plymouth

I Loaned my camera to the neighbor (she has a wedding shoot next weekend) and have been walking around with my Pentax K7 and sometimes I forget the amazing colors that this camera can produce with little to no work. This car was parked down the street across from the coffee shop on the corner. I love old cars, I had a 54 Nash rambler for a while, and although I had plans to restore it for years, the marines, and then [...]

I am trying to shoot more pictures. No matter what I do my cats are a big part of my life. So for now here is the cat picture of the month. Hopefully its the only one. When Dawn got home today she decided to lie down for a bit and browse the internet. I Had just got home from having a drink and a burger, so I figured why not join her. Shortly following our expedition to the bed, the cats [...]

Ellis G Gallery Added

Ellis_G_2009-1@300dpi

I met Ellis when I moved to Brooklyn, I met him in a bar, playing pool. I should say hustling pool, he rarely loses. At the time he was a graffiti writer doing anything that he could to support his art. And by anything I mean taking all kinds of crazy jobs, and playing pool into all hours of the night, then heading out to tag up the neighborhood.

Ellis started tracing shadows after a couple harrowing incidents in his [...]

Sometimes you need a break

On 27 Feb ’13
Jarritos

I sometimes run little errands during the day. It’s nice to get away from the computer and get outside. When I go out to do these things I fall in love with my neighborhood over and over again.

Today I ran into the neighborhood chickens on the way to the store. We had previously heard that the darker one had died, I am happy to report that they are both alive and doing well.

After an exhaustive search of [...]

Forgot to get Milk

On 14 Jan ’13
IMG_0320

One of the reasons we moved into the “overpriced” neighborhood we live in is so I can walk a couple blocks and get things like milk in the morning without too much hassle. And here unlike New York its not a fashion show. I basically just have to get up put some sort of pants on and walk out the door. This is one of the neighborhood houses I pass on the way to the store.

Sometimes I guess more often than not, a photo you didn’t think would even matter turns out to be your favorite one.

Dawn and went up to City Park for the christmas in the Oaks light festival, I wanted to shoot some Grand panoramas, and this seemed like a great place to do it. WHile we were photographing the Pirate ship in the water, this crazy train came by and I snapped a couple candids of people checking [...]

Since I’m new here I didn’t know what to expect. I knew that this was going to be fun but I wasn’t sure if I should be there. I went to the “Uncle” Lionel Batiste second line. Being new here I’m not even sure if thats what you call it. On wikipedia the definition of a second line is as follows:

Second line is a tradition in brass band parades in New Orleans, Louisiana. The “main line” or [...]

Manhattanhenge

Manhattanhenge (sometimes referred to as the Manhattan Solstice) is a semiannual occurrence in which the setting sun aligns with the east–west streets of the main street grid in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. The term is derived from Stonehenge, at which the sun aligns with the stones on the solstices. It was coined in 2002 by Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History. It applies to those streets that follow the Commissioners’ [...]
