New England's Best Beaches

Here are the scans from the July 2007 issue of Boston Magazine, which was my first feature story I've photographed. My photos are all the beach pics (not the photos of the guys, or the still life pics).

It was a really fun shoot, we basically got to spend a week and a half traveling to the best beaches in New England, stay in hotels and take lots of ferries and things. Oh, and all the sand you'll see in the still life photos - that is actually the correct sand from the correct beaches (I had to collect and label sand from every place!)

Thank you to Matt for doing the 10-day shoot with me! :-*

KRS-ONE Music Video Set Photos

Yesterday, I was sent a link of a interview by 50 Cent of KRS-ONE and Marley Marl, whose music video we shot in LA in April. I was so excited, because they show a clip of the music video we did! To see, follow the link, and watch the second video (although both are interesting to watch). The clip of the music video is at around minute 3.

This reminded me that I should post some of my set photos from the shoot. It was Hip Hop Lives by KRS-ONE feat. Marley Marl. Both are truly legendary and it was a such a fun, funny, and intense shoot. We loved being in LA and got along so well with the Director, Todd Angkasuwan. Matt and Todd are so similar in some ways that it's sometimes creepy, and they have the exact same sense of humor... (squirrel milk... eh?) At any rate, Todd is an amazing person, professionally and personally, and it was really a joy to work on the KRS video with him (Matt as the cinematographer and me as the set photographer).

I've also put together a book of the set photographs, which, following approval from the director, will be available for purchase online. I'll post the link to the book when it's available. For now, here are a few pics from the shoot. The last two red photos are from the little "after party" at Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles :)

So, because I can't post any of my work photos, and I am working all the time lately, I have a feeling that a lot of this blog will be photos of my dog and friends... lo siento. At any rate, if anyone was unsure if I were obsessed with my dog, here's more proof.

The Return of the Blog

At the inspiration of Frank Armstrong and Anna Mazzarella, and at the change of gradauating from college and entering the real world, I'll decided to start up a photo blog again. The only catch is that I can't post any of the photographs I've been shooting for Boston Magazine or other companies I'm freelancing for. I'll have to wait until there are tearsheets, which I'll post in the future.

The following photos are some snappies that I can legally post. They were all taken while on assignment for Boston Magazine. I'll post the details of the shoot once the issue is on stands, but for now, it's enough to say that it was an 8 day shoot, all around New England, and we got to see a ton of amazing places. Anyway, these are pics of Matt and I, so I shouldn't have a problem posting them ;)

Currently, I'm on my next assignment for Boston Magazine, will last through next week, and I'm also on another assignment next week for a more commercial company. Again, more details about both shoots once the issues are out and the shoots are done for the bigger company. Today is my first real "day off" since I graduated from college - I've been working pretty much nonstop, which feels good, but is making it a little hard to, say, unpack, figure out my future, etc...

The first three are of Matt, jumping... as per usual. And the last three of photos he took of me while I was working :)
