I have been taking tons of pictures lately on my free time but havent had a chance to really look at them. Here is a photo of my friend chuckie and his brother alex, while they were painting the first coat on my friends 84, mini cooper.

been printing

These are some "older" photographs that I have been slacking on for a little bit now. I've been trying to print as much as I can lately. Check them out and tell me what you think.I am not to good at scanning and getting the tones totally correct, but hey at least you have some sort of idea. The first photo is from 2006,the second photo is from 2010,the third and fourth photo is from halloween2010 and the last picture is from my first semester at suffolk.

Took this photo when a couple friends and I were riding an abandoned pool today. Had such a great time. This photo is two horizontal photos stitched together to form a square. Riding in warm January weather in a tea-shirt with your friends is one of the best things you can experience.

 Went out to far rockaway to check out that new cement skatepark that got built, after we got done riding we went up the road ten minutes to check out the other park in rockaway. Chris Rafferty decided to blast this table for me while I was doing a panorama. Hope you like it.

yesterday greenport today car cruise

Yesterday a couple dudes and I decided to take a trip out to Greenport. It was a really good time, it was a good crew to ride with. Jeff Purdey is home from school for a couple weeks and I got to shoot some photos of him towards the end of the session. The other photo is of my friend Cory Canzone cruising in his all-track celica. The photos of Jeff were shot with two external flashes with a 50mm lens and the photo of Cory cruising is with my 10-20mm lens. Check em out and tell me what you think, thanks!

On a whim

So this weekend has been interesting... I've been pretty busy with school work since its the end of the semester. I had to shoot a self portrait for my digital photo class, so lately I've shot a couple self portraits besides the ones I needed for the assignment. The top two photos are of my friend Kaz riding and hanging out at Montauk skatepark today. Montauk skatepark has THE best bowl on long island to ride and its so awesome because its so far out of the way that not many people ever ride there. We both needed to get out of our houses so we went on a whim and had a good time riding for about 45 minutes.The bottom three are photos I took of my self, two are for the self portrait assignment and the last one was just messing around in the bowl and with setting up my external flash with a slow shutter speed. Im excited for next semester to take the lighting class and learn more about shooting on site flash. I hope you enjoy them, please tell me what you think.

asmp workshop

So I went to the ASMP workshop the other night that Prof. Harold Nadeau was hosting at Briarcliff College and I had a really good time. There were many questions asked that were super relative to me. A good point that was made during the discussion was how equipment is not the biggest thing to be concerned with. The photographers were saying how its more important to invest your time and money in promoting yourself. This was good to hear but where do I start? Anyways this photo workshop was really good for me because it got me interacting with other photographers and it also got me thinking about many other different things.Plus the brownies were great! I hope to go to more of these workshops in the future, I thought it was very helpful.
