Cold Weather Feature

So here I am after a bit of a break. Shooting in York PA. The temperature suddenly dropped so I got to shoot cold weather feature instead of an epic finger themed video man on the street.


"It's too cold!" Jessica Pietrusza, York resident and Steelers fan explains as she waits for the Martin Library to open Wednesday morning.

Point and Shoot

I've never been so upset to be without the D300. 
I'm in the Holy Land and have been borrowing my sister's point and shoot. 
We went on a walk that included stopping at an above ground cemetery.

Cedar Street


An old photo from September. I was biking home from a shoot and felt the need to photograph a sunset, artificial lights, smoke stacks and a car driving by.

Lions & Tamers

I had housemates pose before a vaudeville/burlesque/circus themed party so I could practice shooting portraits. Fumbled for a bit with the lighting and background. In the end, I found my rather makeshift attempt at a portrait studio rather amusing.

Old News



On election day I feature hunted and spent some time at Precinct 9, located at Bailey Community Center.  I liked the way 
Sarah Taylor, 10, carried herself as she watched and then waited as her father, Brian Taylor cast his ballot.

Dedicated to Nick

I shot a video of actors in a haunted house for my living city. The whole process was rather tricky. Shooting video/stills in a dark hallways with a strobe light and constant screams got to me after awhile. The first photo ran in the paper and the other two are just off moments of "J Bone" waiting to scare visitors of Phantasmagoria.

Chinatown



Quite the weekend.  Went to Chicago with Jason and his housemates.  Stayed in the ever so lovely condo on the 51st before shooting the football game in Evanston.  I probably ate a disgusting amount of authentic Chinese food too.  And was almost part of the Taiwan Independence Day Parade in Chinatown.  I would have ridden on a float with Jason's parents and thrown candy out like royalty to people below.  However, made the responsible choice, and opted to not be late to the game.  I took this photo from atop the float before leaving.

a parody


 "It makes a silent statement," Lansing resident Joe Droste explained about his hat.  "I don't like to preach on it unless someone really wants to talk."
