Another year, another dollar.

Hello,
Recently I took a trip down to Washington, DC to work. I drove talent for the Mark Twain Prize. I want to thank my fellow SVA Alum Cat Del Buono for getting me the gig. While I was down there, I didn't have much time for picture taking. However, I did manage to hit up this weird activity.

People do indoor rock climbing on artificial rock surfaces. I had no idea this existed, much less that people pay to join rock climbing gyms. Here is a shot, of my buddy, Paul Khouri, showing me how climbing is done.



The best part of being in DC was being around all that wonderful architecture. The monuments, capitol, white house, all of it gave me my inspiration for my next photo project.

Tomorrow I leave for Phoenix, Arizona. Here I hope to take my next move, and more photographs.

World Savvy Promotes Arts at Queens High School





Hello all,
Sorry about my tardiness in updating my blog. Life has been very crazy these last six month since I graduated from the School of Visual Arts. Briefly, I have decided to pursue teaching full-time. After leaving the Queens Courier I wanted to make sure that my new job would leave me enough time to continue being a photographer. Teaching is the obvious answer to this.
Currently I am enrolled to earn yet another Master's degree at Brooklyn College. This time it will be in English. I hope to start teaching High School, while working on a PhD. And then there is the photography.

This little piece up above is an internet slide show I made in my waning days at the Courier. Think of it as a tidbit while waiting for new work.

I have recently started on my followup to American Pastimes. I'll try to get some samples up
