Just thought I’d share a few images, taken whilst walking Hank, from the snow frenzy here. I have to say, seems most people that live downtown don’t seem to be having too many problems gettin’ round. Maybe one more reason to live in a city?

News Photos, on the Move, Make News
In the middle of December two trailer trucks left New York City bound for Austin, Tex., packed with a precious and unusual cargo: the entire collection of pictures amassed over more than half a century by the Magnum photo cooperative, whose members have been among the world’s most distinguished [...]

Last December, I got to spend about a week shadowing two talented young musicians for a story by John Marchese in the Feb. 2010 issue of Philadelphia Magazine. Becky Anderson and Ben Beilman were gracious enough to let me tag along during long rehearsals and performances. Keep an eye out for these two. Amazing.
Big props [...]
NY Times Opinion Video on Photo Retouching
The NY Times has a decent read today by Steven Erlanger about a French lawmaker, Valérie Boyer, who has:
…created a small furor [in France] and abroad with her latest proposal: a draft law that would require all digitally altered photographs of people used in advertising be labeled as retouched.
As [...]

I got a great chance last month to document a couple days in the life of U.S. Representative Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) for the latest issue of Philadelphia Magazine. You can read Jason Fagone’s piece here.
Sestak, as you might be aware, is running against Arlen Specter (who recently switched parties) in the upcoming Democratic primary. I’ve [...]

Ok everyone, we have a fantastic edition of The Assistants’ Corner. I’ve been pretty busy over the past few months so I have a nice collection of assistant outtakes. Thanks again to all these hardworkin’ folk who tirelessly haul gear, wrap cords, hold gray cards and generally make me feel like I know what I’m [...]

Went out with my lovely wife while she did some reporting and made a few new images for my Polling Place Project. Unfortunately, my Hasselblad is on bed rest right now after a frightful accident and it couldn’t come off the bench in time for this election cycle, so I’m testing a new digital technique [...]

Tracking down my PECO ad on bus shelters in the hinterlands of suburban Philadelphia was a really difficult endeavor. Shooting a picture of the shelter ad was hazardous, involving a frogger-esque event of running across four lanes of traffic and standing in the road to get a decent angle, but alas, I finally have proof [...]

Just wanted to post a link to another recent cover I photographed. This time for a client in Abu Dhabi, “M” Magazine, which is the Saturday magazine for The National newspaper. Big ups to my friend Kerri Abrams for helping me secure the gig.
