Shooting Geny

Took these shots a month back. Fun playing with the lighting but a real bitch when you pose yourself!

An Acoustic Clubhouse

Rock n' Roll! Metal!!! More genre name shouting! Yeah! Here's some photos from The Clubhouse's May 3rd Acoustic show:

Up in the Skeye

Back in January of 2013 the weather was holding onto a snow and freezing rain mix. Much of the time was spent in doors unless shoveling so when I was invited to assist my good friends, Skeye I was struck with excitement. I packed my bags and took the next bus up state. As always a pleasure and honor to play/work with them I assisted with camera and lighting for their new song, the Better Part of Me. You can watch the full video below.

Did I mention I took some photos too? Yes, I took some shots. Unfortunately they were lost in the undercurrent of gigs and haven't resurfaced until now. I think I'll go through a second edit and start touching them up soon. Until then, enjoy the tunes and the view.

Lisa & a Softbox

While playing with some film noir ideas Lisa came by and we did a short shoot. I now have a better direction to aim for and an enticing story to tell. I also needed an excuse to play with my new toy, a 22" soft box but don't tell the beautiful Lisa that.

Enjoy the rough shoot.

Hurricane Sandy & City Island: 6th Edition

October 29, 30, 31 • 6th Edition • 2012.11.01-1000

Barron's Boatyard on Eastern City Island.
Heavy wave action against the seawall due to NE winds at 30knots

On October 29th through the 31st Hurricane Sandy of 2012 would reach New York City.

I uploaded photos and made status updates with any information I could collect while traveling City Island. One of my final posts was on October 30th, a summary of all the information I heard about City Island,

CI UPDATE
12:32
---------------
• CI Bridge was closed overnight. Has been open since early this morning.
• CI Ave has power. Diner open, Connies, Buddy's Hardware... possibly other businesses.
• Tony's Pier is burn down to just a few walls. Mostly black, still smells like wood burning.
• Morris Yacht & Beach Club's pier out to the tiki bar is entirely stripped

A tree fell on Pilot st, just seconds before the photo was taken.
Winds were 30+ knots (40MPH~)

• City Island Yacht Club's boats are fine. Pier destroyed, basement flooded up to ground level.
• Stuyvesant Yacht Club suffered from the tides lifting boats off their poppets. Many of the boas in the southern area are heavily damaged. The peir/summerhouse is also destroyed. A foot of water entered the Clubhouse during high tide around midnight.
• Harlem Yacht Club has minor damage to the pier, the launch house is gone. The whole wood deck lifted during the surge and was ripped up and moved a foot or so from the clubhouse. A few windows facing west were broken in, water clearly entered after debris broke the windows; height of water unknown.
• Many of the Eastern clubs and boatyards suffered a handful of boats being lifted of their poppets. Consolidated, North Minnieford and Barron's to name a few.
• Quite a number of trees or their branches were downed around CI/Orchard Beach Circle.

If you have anything to add, please do so.
** Photos to be edited and uploaded in an hr**
Be Well. & Don't be afraid to ask for help if you are in need.

At Stuyvesant Yacht Club water came over the sea wall and eventually lifted some boats and other debris in the yard, eventually setting down the boats on the dry as the tide and surge receded.
