On my way up Seventh Ave., I noticed the sun was hitting the tower just right, so of course I snapped a couple of shots. This is one I decided to grunge up a bit to give it a vintage feel.
Stealing an eight dollar camera from the supermarket that I worked for
back in High School is not my proudest moment as a teenager, however,
it is the event that launched me into a lifelong obsession with
photography. That obsession led to a formal education in photography to follow with many years of professional work in and around the New York City photo industry.
That first camera was a Chinon 110 film cartridge style. From there I
bought (yes, I said bought) my first 35mm Nikon, after that I dabbled
in medium format and then eventually purchased a 4x5 view camera.
While transitioning into the digital era I continue to use Nikon for 35mm,
but I am also experimenting with the camera in my iPhone, which actually
gives me the same spontaneity, but slightly better quality as the
eight dollar 110 camera I had in High School. Aside from the spontaneity, the many applications allow for an endless variety of creative options.
My images are mostly about where we live and work - our architectural
environment and our commute to and from these places.
