I did something very naughty yesterday.
I shot with a Nikon.
My colleague, Nikolai, introduced me to the Nikon D300. Pretty sweet camera! I never understood the allure of Nikon as I’ve always been such a devoted Canon fan–and still am–but the one major gripe I’ve always had about my Canon 5Ds (so far) is the wimpy [...]
Greetings, my friends!
After countless complaints about the horizontal scroll design, I decided to re-design my website. And Jon, the amazing web designer that he is, has graciously accepted the challenge to do so.
If you have time, I would love some feedback before I go live. I invite you to post a comment here and let [...]

While I am flattered you appreciate my photography, I am not pleased about the surreptitious way your corporation attained my [...]
When I don’t have models to photograph, sometimes I practice my lighting at home. If Jon is in town, I ask him to collaborate with me on testing ideas.

Right there, the model—although beautiful—completely lost any opportunity of working with me. Models, take note!

Hello, Friends!
I signed up for the Wall Street Run & Heart Walk. Hopefully, I will run the whole 5K, but two years ago, my dog and I simply walked with the massive crowd.
After filing taxes this year, I realized I could have [...]

Confirmed! If you see any of photos of me, please send them my way. A friend, M.J., sent me a Knauf ad featured in Europe today. I got a kick out [...]
