Some photos that didn’t end up running in the Village Voice that deserve some love and attention anyway.

The latest video I worked on with The Goddamn Cobras. NSFW-ish.

Getting the photo of cargo ships was as simple as chatting up a Queens native named Mike.

The photo that ran in the Village Voice vs. the photo I took with my iphone…

Here is my 2nd attempt at posting from my iPhone. I just shot the Phish show at Madison Square Garden for Village Voice. I’ll post a similiar photo from my 5d later so shots can be compared.

Although it wasn’t going to be the cover, I was super excited for the extra space allotted for photos and the subject matter. My editor explained to the situation to me as modern day tenement-styled housing in the heart of Chinatown.

The box was in a gallery with large windows, but not nearly enough natural lighting to do anything respectable. They had a flood light sitting around that I plugged in and got this shot (I took a screen grab from Lightroom with the highlights in red):

I liked the exposure and settings but the hot spots were a bit much and concentrated. Doug loves construction lights because they are by far cheaper than lighting kits and has experimented with similar DIY diffusers (two dry
