When I Dream of Michelangelo
It has been 363 days, two days short of a full year, since my last blog post. So where have I been? First, I want to recap what I’ve been doing over the last year and a half. In December 2009, the company I worked for as a computer security engineer (AOL) decided to institute [...]
Check me out at Pictory!
In case you haven’t yet heard about it, Pictory is a relatively new online magazine devoted to publishing single photo essays contributed by photographers from around the Internet. From the website: “Pictory is a showcase for people around the world to document their lives and cultures. Anyone can submit one large, captioned image to each [...]
Mayhem Meet and Greet this weekend!
Just a quick note to any models, makeup artists, and fellow photographers… This Sunday (April 11) I’ll be at the Fell’s Point Meet and Greet up in Baltimore from noon to 6pm. Right now, the attendee list is looking pretty great! I’m looking forward to dusting off some of my lighting equipment and shooting [...]
New Redesign!
As you may have noticed already, I am in the process of redesigning my blog completely! I’m mostly done but I’ll be making some changes and tweaks over the next few days. As of right now, I’ve had to disable the Disqus comment system since it was causing some problems with the new theme. [...]
On the road again
I’m hitting the road again today… I won’t be going as far as Palestine this time but I’ll be gone for about two weeks. My first stop will be New Brunswick, NJ where I’ll be participating in the National Press Photographers’ Association 2010 Northern Short Course in Photojournalism. It’s a three-day workshop where photographers can [...]
My Portfolio Books Have Arrived!
Last week, I posted a preview of the portfolio book I was having published. I’m happy to report that all of the copies I ordered have now been delivered and I am extremely pleased with the final product. For those of you that don’t know, I assembled and ordered the book using Apple’s Aperture [...]
An Interview With Me
A fellow DC photographer and videographer, Dawn Casey of Casey Multimedia, recently sat down with me to interview me about my work, my recent trip, and my goals as a photojournalist. She has put together the following awesome video and I thought I’d share it with you:
Portfolio 2010 – A Preview
Over the last few days, I’ve been working on updating and editing my portfolio. I also took the time to publish it in a large, hardcover, professionally-bound book that I plan on taking with me next month to New York City. Feel free to browse through the preview below. Please note that there are a [...]
With a Little Help From My Friends
As I reflect on my recent trip to Palestine, I wanted to let you know of two photographers, and friends, that helped make my trip possible. I met each of these gentleman back in 2005 during my first trip to Palestine and they’ve been great friends ever since. During my most recent trip, they were [...]
A fond farewell to Palestine
The time has come for me to leave Palestine and head back to the United States. As with my past trips to Palestine, and even moreso this time, I’m always a little sad when I leave the place that has become my second home. I made a bunch of new friends, got a chance to [...]
Announcement: Nablus Photowalk!
I’m delighted to announce that, with the help of some friends, I am setting up a photowalk in Nablus, Palestine! Date: Monday, February 1, 2010 Time: 10:00am Location: Downtown Nablus, main circle, followed by a walk through the Old City to take photos! If you’re in or around Nablus and you have a camera, [...]
On Assignment in Hebron
We arrived in Hebron this afternoon after a long drive and a brief stop in Ramallah. Over the next few days, I’ll be embedded with the Christian Peacemaker Teams in Hebron and documenting their work in the area. Their primary mission here is to protect the Palestinian civilian population (particularly children) from attack by Israeli [...]
On to Hebron
I made it to the West Bank on Friday afternoon without too much trouble. I’ve spent the last two days catching up with a bunch of friends in Nablus. Tomorrow, however, I’m heading to Hebron for a few days to work with a great NGO there. I’m really looking forward to it. The Internet situation [...]
Update: Marching On
I’ve just learned today that, for a chance to go to Gaza, I would have to re-apply to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry as an individual or as part of a very small group. Under current regulations, the Egyptian government has 20 days to respond to the request. Others that have gone through this process before [...]
Today’s GFM Actions in Cairo
Today was the day when the Gaza Freedom March members planned to march through the Gaza Strip to the Erez crossing with Israel in the north in an effort to protest the continued international sanctions against the Palestinians living in the small coastal region. However, since the Egyptian government has denied their request to enter [...]
The Waiting Game
I arrived in Cairo Sunday afternoon without any trouble. Right now, however, I’m just waiting. I’m currently sharing a room with a retired physicist from Munich since we had met up on the plane from Vienna. I’m only booking the room for one night at a time since I’m still waiting to hear whether or [...]
Taking the Leap
For the last few years, I’ve been fortunate to have a day job that, not only gave me some flexibility in terms of pursuing my passion, but also paid me well enough that I could finance many of my own projects. Unfortunately, (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) those days are coming [...]
Welcome!
I’d like to welcome you to my new blog. I’ll be updating this blog with information about some of the work I do and will give you a chance to see what I’m up to. I’ll do my best to keep it up to date while I’m working on projects but, depending on the project, [...]
