Manhattan from Brooklyn
Here is a new image I just finished, though I took the photo almost 2 years ago. Click on the image to blow it up.
Found Images from Chicago
I recently came across these images from Chicago that I hadn’t previously published. I made these when I was screening one of my films at the Chicago Reelz Short Film Fest in September ’09 As always you can click on the image to see the full size.
Friday Night Lights, Guangzhou, China
Guangzhou is a big city in southern China just a few hours drive north of Hong Kong. Because I had to wait for my Chinese visa to be issued in HK I had a very limited amount of time in Guangzhou, but the thing that is really striking about the city is the way it [...]
Hong Kong Saturday Night
This is only my second time to Hong Kong but I love this city. It has a heartbeat like no other I’ve been to: it’s an electric, 60 cycle hum. You can feel it through your feet as you walk on the streets or in your hands as you lean on a railing looking out [...]
The road to Delhi
I spent 48 hours in Delhi India which is a world of contradictions. Overcrowded and loud, traffic zips by you at breakneck speed, or is at a complete standstill. Driving seems tactile: all flashing headlights and blaring horns mixed in with a little dare-devil-may-care attitude. Brand new, high tech architecture rises out of dirty, broken-down [...]
Chicago Skyline Panorama
I made this panorama of the Chicago skyline using a Zeiss 50mm prime lens on my Canon 5D MkII. The full size print is 75″ X 14″
United Terminal at O’Hare Airport
Handheld, long exposure shot of the concourse between United Airlines terminals B and C at Chicago O’Hare airport.
Joshua Tree enroute to Phoenix
In keeping with the theme of Joshua Tree, I was recently driving from Las Vegas to Phoenix along route 93 and stopped by this Joshua Tree when the sun was setting. I thought it was a very dramatic scene and so I made this shot. click on the image to see a larger version
A mosque in my home town, Berkeley, IL
I moved away from my home town of Berkeley, IL over 30 years ago but still have family there and visit a couple times a year. Oftentimes, when I’m visiting I like to wander around and take pictures of the place, though some of it has changed drastically. I attended Field School in the 1960′s [...]
A dreary day at the skate park
I rode my bike down to Venice Beach on Sunday, as I usually do, but this particular Sunday was unusually overcast and dreary for Southern California. None-the-less there were plenty of skaters at the skate park and I managed to get a couple of shots. I used a polarizing filter to cut the light down [...]
Blue Sky Mining
Last week I was working on a pilot for a television show and our location was a strip mine. The mine is still working, in fact they have plans to completely decapitate some of the large hills in the area. It’s gorgeous country and kind of sad to think it will all be leveled in [...]
Night Photography in Chicago II
It used to be a writers town and it’s always been a fighter’s town. For writers and fighters and furtive torpedoes, cat-bandit, baggage thieves, hallway headlockers on the prowl, baby photographers and stylish coneroos, this is the spot that is always most convenient, being centrally located, for settling ancestral grudges. Whether the power is in [...]
Two Nights In Baton Rouge
I’m told it’s a four-hour drive from Shreveport to Baton Rouge, but my recent run-in with Louisiana Highway Patrol has me setting the cruise control to keep me traveling at a safely under-the-radar ramble through the forests and over the bayou’s of this lovely state, and it actually takes me slightly closer to five hours [...]
Shreveport, LA. Part One
Pre-production for the latest feature film I am working on has begun in and around Shreveport, LA, a city built on oil money which seems to be fairly wet, with lush green landscapes and some of the prettiest sunsets I have seen in awhile. Hopefully I will find an interesting point of view of this [...]
One Night in Chicago
One of my favorite things to do is wander around a great city at night with my camera. One night last week I found some cool colors and textures in Chicago.
Harleys and HDR
This week I took a trip out to the Salton Sea to try and find a place I had been to 10 or 12 years ago, where the sea had encroached on a small town and partially gobbled up several of the buildings. I thought this would be a great place to make some more [...]
Dominican Republic
While shooting a project in the Dominican Republic for Microsoft I spent a little time walking through a barrio just outside of Santo Domingo. At first there weren’t many people around, but an old woman invited me into her home to show me photos of her son who was serving with the U.S. Army. By [...]
