Today I decided to go through my hard drive and make sense of what the hell is going on in there. After a few hours and endless repeats of the Super Fly soundtrack, I came up with some sort of edit. Thanks for looking and remember to look both ways before crossing the street.
Hello again,
It had been some time since I have been on this here website. With a new facelift and a new year just around the corner its time to start up this thing-a-majig again.
With that mumbo jumbo being said.
Presently, the past few months have been a stressful time but with the help of Adam Donnelly out in San Francisco, I landed a few gigs with Chaos Magazine. The work has been great giving me full creative freedom to bands that stop in Boston on their tours through the US. It surely has been a pleasant experience talking to and composing photos for entertainers that put a spring in my step and who’s passion shines through their bodies. Thanks to you all. Enjoy

This past month I have been working on this series for 125 magazine with stylist Tim Robishaw. After days of thinking of a concept and drawing out storyboards we came up with this story. Enjoy.
Channy and I decided to attend the Christmas pops this year on the 20th of December. What we didn’t know about this upcoming event were two things. This night would be the first snow storm in the winter of 2010 and Shaquille O Neal would be composing a song or two.
We sat down and the white collars were in attendance and throughout the whole evening everyone was wondering, when and where Shaq would come about. It was as if Santa got a knock down on this Holiday extravaganza, everyone was here to see Kazaam and we were stuck in the middle of it.
The orchestra began to play and play, when lo and behold from the back of the stage. This mammoth of a man, emerges with a suit that can fit 3 and shoes that can hold 5 gallons. Shaq! came out and marveled the crowd with his comedic personality and the fine composing of a Michael Jackson song. Which was probably the best song of the night. Channy agreed with a nod of approval and a salute to our fallen soldiers.
Upon Shaq finishing and exiting turned into the ending of “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”. Everyone was thrilled and appreciative that this Basketball great came and marveled them for a night. All great things have to come to an end though, and he had to go back to his world and leave us “normies” with the lasting memory that he came, he composed, and Godamn it! did he conquer.
Now back to reality.
The most interesting part of the evening besides the annoyance of the chorus line acting out like 5th graders looking for santa, had to be the crowd below us. Most seemed like characters from the party scene in Great Gatsby, but most of these people grabbed a hold of the green light and haven’t looked back since. Congrats!
That was our night and I thank you for looking at this and have a good new year!

I set up my flashes on the street in ode to DiCortia. I have planned this for quite sometime now, but was hesitant on the fact that people would pose rather then just being themselves. What I got is what you see.
