Baby Blur

I recently had the honor and pleasure to shoot a quick birth announcement for a best friend. It was a great way to get to know the newest member of my family. Here is a quick shot from the outtakes of the session. I will post the finished product shortly.

World Down Syndrome Day

Today is World Down Syndrome Day. Please take a moment and acknowledge this day. 50 years ago today Professor Jerome Lejeune discovered the extra copy of chromosome 21 which causes Down Syndrome.
For more info click here.

For those of you that don't know someone with Down Syndrome, you do now. This is my son and he is an amazing little boy that has changed the lives of so many and he is only 2 years old.

Thinking Inside The Box.

The DIY Light Box Project started as a quick and dirty way to make flash cards for my son. Just to shoot random objects around the house to help build vocabulary and memory. Figured what better way to do it then use objects he actually sees in the house.

It started with a cardboard box (free), $6.00 worth of rip-stop nylon, 2 pieces of poster board and some glue. I already had strobes and Pocket Wizards so that wasn’t an issue. A little overkill to use AlienBees but its what I had on hand. I had it all assembled before I took my first test shot. Once I figured out my exposure it was just a matter of finding things to put in the box.

Take Off.

Shot from the back of the Staten Island Ferry.

Can you say 1.21 Gigawatts?

When it hits 88mph it can travel through time with the help of the Flux Capacitor.

Random.

Just a random image that I was recalling.

The long awaited update.

Out of the loop.

Sorry for the slow down. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I will be updating as soon as possible.

Twitter?

For some odd reason I decided to make my way to Twitter.com and join. I have yet to see why this site surviving in the "Web 2.0 World" with larger communities such as Facebook out there.
Am I missing something?
Anyway here it is: My Twitter
