This year, I was working on the 4th of July taking photos for Welcome America / Wawa, the sponsors of many events leading up until the 4th and the day of. I love fireworks and was a little disappointed I couldn't watch them with friends... instead I was watching them with the press in front of the Washington Monument. But it was an amazing view and now I can share it with anyone who missed it.
Many more photos to come. Overall - I had the most fun and interesting 4th of July of my life.
Enjoy :)

the lovely JANUS TRIO

2010-06-15T10:34:00.000-07:00

I took some press photos for Janus Trio recently. Here's a few of my favorite images, some info about them and a video of them performing Caleb Burhans' Keymaster.

Janus Trio is Amanda Baker, Beth Meyers and Nuiko Wadden.

From www.janustrio.org

Brooklyn based janus was formed in 2002 with the goal of presenting and creating new repertoire for the trio through commissioning projects and works-in-process collaborations. Named after Janus, the Roman god whose double-faced image peers into the past and future, the trio maintains the established tradition for the instrumentation while breaking new ground into unexplored sonic frontiers. Beginning with Debussy and including Toru Takemitsu, Harald Genzmer, André Jolivet, Sophia Gubaidulina and Kaija Saariaho, composers have been allured by this intriguing combination of something bowed, something blown and something plucked.

To date, janus has added over twenty new pieces to the trio library through individual submissions and collaborative projects with universities. Among the composers who have written for janus are Caleb Burhans, Anna Clyne, Andrew McKenna-Lee, Jason Treuting, Ryan Brown, Angelica Negron and Barbara White. From its inception to the present, janushas collaborated with the composition departments from Princeton, Colgate, New York and Cornell Universities. Not limiting themselves to only universities, janus has an ongoing relationship with the Aspen Music Festival and School. Presently, over 2000 grade-school children have discovered music through stories and imagination with janus.

Within New York, janus has been featured at halls including Symphony Space, The Tank, Roulette, BAM Café, The Stone, Weill Recital Hall, Joe’s Pub and the Berkshire Fringe Festival. Other group credits include performances at the Kennedy Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, the National Flute Association Convention (Kansas City and NYC), Rocky River Chamber Music Series (OH), the Glenwood Springs Center for the Arts (CO) and the Dame Myra Hess Recital Series (Chicago).

janus is a New Amsterdam artist and can be heard on Andrew McKenna Lee’s critically acclaimed CD “Gravity and Air.” janus’much anticipated debut CD is forthcoming in Fall 2010.

painting with the moon

2009-09-09T13:44:00.000-07:00

I've painted with light before but I like these because my paintbrush is the moon. Since I couldn't move the moon... I had to move my camera. I managed to come up with a few recognizable objects... and a pretty sorry attempt to paint my name one letter at a time.

Semiopticon

2009-08-22T19:13:00.001-07:00

Semiopticon Opening

So it's not quite the Sistine Chapel but it is one hell of an eye-opening, religious experience, that is of course if your God is Alfred E. Neuman of Mad Magazine, whose large head presides over the room filled with many other recognizable characters. Entering into the space of black and white donned walls, images are fused together in a seemingly nonsensical order. The combination of present day pop-culture symbols and iconic imagery is a journey for the eyes, mind and soul. Art enthusiasts and Drexel University locals filed into the Leonard Pearlstein Gallery yesterday evening in hopes of gaining some insight into artists Morgan Thomas and Thomas Buildmore's mindset for their Semiopticon: Exploring Semiotics, Sacred Ground & Street Art, installation. August 12th, 2009.

So Percussion : Part Two

2009-08-10T20:55:00.000-07:00

I visited So Percussion again recently - on July 30th, 2009. This time it was for images of a new program they've started - the So Percussion Summer Institute. These are some of my favorite shots from the day.

So Percussion : Part One

2009-08-10T20:41:00.000-07:00

In February of last year, I was asked to shoot photos for a percussionist group called So Percussion at the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia. They play elaborate/intricate pieces of music with teacups, pieces of wood, flowerpots, toys, etc.

Review from Billboard Magazine:

On their debut CD, the four members of So Percussion prove that they can really play. Not just play their instruments--which they do with expertise--but play with the genuine freshness and wonder of kids with their favorite toys. Here, their playthings are dizzyingly virtuosic pieces by two restlessly inventive American composers, David Lang and Evan Ziporyn. Lang's "The So-Called Laws of Nature" is a complex matrix of ever-unfolding rhythmic patterns, articulated by instruments that include giant metal pipes and flowerpots. Ziporyn's "Melody Competition" takes its structural cue and sonority from his specialty, Balinese gamelan, resulting in a piece that extends from hypnotic delicacy to potent muscularity. The range of colors and voices that So Percussion coaxes from its menagerie is astonishing and entrancing. This is a must-hear not just for new music fans but for trance music and world music aficionados as well.--AT

The Alley Hair Salon

2009-06-16T22:10:00.001-07:00

The Alley Hair Salon, located at 118 South Street, Philadelphia, PA is home to Jeremiah Sisco, girlfriend Kelly and their little dog - Zodiac. Jeremiah is rated one of the best stylists in Philadelphia. He is an artist with his scissors and his girlfriend Kelly is a great stylist also. I knew I would have some interesting visuals to work with because of their hairstyles and style in general. Even Zodiac has his own unique style (see below)

Zodiac was wiped out from the whole ordeal.

By the way, my friend Jamie was nice enough to lend me his Canon 5d Mark II, which is almost equivalent to lending out a newborn. Trust me... I treated it like one.

The camera was magical. I can't stop thinking about it.

Run For Africa

2009-06-12T19:42:00.001-07:00

I've been working a project for several months now with a man named James Kerkula. He is originally from Liberia, Africa and we connected through my interest in returning there and my desire to use my photography and journalism in a way that would help a lot of people. The initial issue will be sent all over the country to raise funding for both the magazine and to build a K-12 school in Liberia. From there it will hopefully support many other businesses and projects while simultaneously raising awareness of world issues. It seems many Americans know little to nothing of what's going on in Africa and other parts of the world. This magazine will strive to remedy that by sharing history, stories and projects. There will be many people involved in fundraising in Philadelphia and throughout the United States, beginning with groups of runners. Sometime this year there will be a citywide run to raise money for these schools and other new developments in a war-ravaged piece of the world.

I'll be writing more on this later.

Here are the four initial images we liked for the cover and I am 90% I am using the first one shown here. I have the title and text almost completed but I'm not completely satisfied with it yet.

I'll be posting the finished cover when it's done

But for now I present to you : James Kerkula

sidenote : Notice the horns the one kid is displaying. Perhaps I should edit that out?

There were a group of teenagers all standing by to get James' autograph. He kept saying "I'm not famous," and no one seemed to believe him.

A couple months ago I started a side company called socialightimage. I'm doing headshots and profile photos for business use, acting, social media. etc. I got it up and running pretty quickly and had a really good response to it. I have a few makeup artists ready to work with me also.

I got very sidetracked with... life. But I'm ready to start it back up again.

Here are a some images I've used to start it up.

The first is her holding a photo of herself as a little girl.

And some others from the two days I was shooting there..

2009-06-01T16:57:00.001-07:00

I decided I should start posting here more as a good way to share and stay connected. I have some catching up to do. Most of these initial posts will be past work but as soon as I'm up to date it will be more current.
