Stepping aside from personal work this week, here’s some recent corporate work I did for Philadelphia General Building Contractors Association. I was commissioned to do portraits of their staff, as well as a headshot and 3/4 portrait of their new Executive Director, and a group photo of the association’s executive committee for use on their website, in […]

Winter is one of the toughest times, I think, from a photographic point of view. For those of us not lucky/driven/talented enough to make 100 percent of our income from making images, it most likely means leaving for work while it’s still dark, (most likely) sitting in an office for the bulk of the day, […]
It’s been a great year, photographically. From a glut of paying jobs, licensing out of nowhere, and winding up in a book about the transformation of the Globe Dye Works and Stuff Magazine, I’ve been incredibly fortunate in 2012. Last week, I got even more great news. As I blogged a few weeks ago, Philly […]
After several whirlwind weeks, I have to break radio silence to report on one of the most invigorating days out with a camera I’ve had in years. Over the weekend, I participated in a urban exploration workshop with Matthew Christopher of Abandoned America fame in conjunction with the excellent folks at Hidden City Philadelphia. Designed […]
Hope everyone is faring well after Hurricane Sandy. We were incredibly fortunate in our neck of the woods. Despite absolutely terrifying howling winds and the green lightshow the blowing transformers gave us, we didn’t even lose power and junior slept completely through the worst of it. Sandy marks the second hurricane to add to the […]
If you’re reading this on Friday, October 26, you shouldn’t be. Today is Philly Photo Day, and if you’re in and around the city you need to grab your camera, get out, and make some pictures. After doing so, make sure to take your best shot and upload it over at the Philadelphia Photo Arts […]
Over the weekend, I turned 34. It feels really weird. I’ve never been bothered by birthdays in my life, but this one felt really different. Can’t put my finger on it why, though. Regardless, I was treated to absolutely gorgeous weather. It was pretty chilly leading up to the weekend, but Sunday was the absolute […]
I spent last night (October 10, 2012) working an event at the Loews Philadelphia Hotel, formerly the PSFS Building. It’s a fantastic bit of architecture by Howe and Lescaze, and the first skyscraper in the U.S.built in the International style. Capping off its excellence is the view from the 33rd floor, now a lounge/event space […]
Let me start by saying this: I love my son more than anything. He’s awesome, hilarious, and incredibly cute. He’s the best thing that has ever happened in my life, save for meeting my wife. That said, it is damn hard to get up and out of the house early in the morning with him […]
I photographed Robert Yaro, president of the Regional Plan Association, this week for CONTEXT, the journal of AIA Philadelphia. The shoot was on of the most trying shoots I’ve ever had. Robert is a high-speed rail advocate, so our original intention was to photograph him in Philadelphia’s beautiful 30th Street Station. Photography is allowed there, […]
