This mini photoshoot was based mainly around testing the expodisc that I recently acquired. Your can see me shooting in the image on the right (yes I know you can see me).
Loving the negative soace in this photo.
The expodisc performed pretty well, given the mixture of natural and incandescent light, with a little bit of flash!

Baby photography is not as easy as it might seem. The best time to take pictures is after their feeding, but then of course you have to pair that with good natural daylight. I wanted to do this shoot in a lifestyle genre of photography as opposed to a really posed baby shoot, where the baby is asleep in a flowery white hammock in a cute hat.
The new year lights in the background add a warm holiday layer to the photo. I made them out of focus on purpose.
A close up of Keira’s calm demeanor.
The red hat. I think it was hand-knit by a coworker of the mother.
Bath tiiiiiiiime!

Recently I saw Elie Wiesel at a convention and was really excited to take a few shots of him as he was talking to his fans after the lecture. I know I read “Night”… I might have read one or two other books by him but I can’t remember them. Anyway, I’m a big big fan.

A few things help me get through the winter.
These are:
1. the anticipation of an upcoming vacation to “warm the bones”,
2. my old-school heating pad which I fill up with hot water (my apartment can be either really cold or really hot and I prefer not to sweat), and
3. memories (through pictures) of amazing days of fall in Prospect Park, like below.

Honestly I’m not sure what photographer wouldn’t be obsessed with the 85mm L series lense. It has a super sharp focus on the subject and melts the background into butter (assuming your aperture is wide open, of course).
The 85mm lense is amazing for portraits because you are still far enough from the subject for them to be totally comfortable… even if it’s a little unsuspecting girl that you run into on the street.

Dogs are definitely one of my passions. Not dogs that are dainty and pretty (although those will pass as well), but more dogs who are clumsy, maybe have a hard time keeping their tongues in their mouths, who will step on you (by accident and out of love) and crush your foot with their massive body weight while digging their claws into your flesh. Yes, those kinds of dogs. I like personality and love.
I can’t help but feel love, pity and an overdose of cuteness every time I see Emma. I think her owners pretty much expect a shriek from me every time we bump into each other. She is the most round, clumsy and loving thing I’ve ever encountered.
The 85mm lense creates stunning portraits – as you can see Emma came out looking quite modelesque.
