You Can’t Have it All (key art shoot)…

Here’s the cover art of a new movie starring Jon Linsdtrom, Chris Murrah and Wendie Malick that I recently shot.  Such consumate professionals they made my job very simple and they were a joy to work with!

Here’s the original shot just as a comparison.

Powerplay with Katrina Campins…

Katrina Campins from Bravo’s “Miami Social” was also on hand with Justin Tuck at the Powerplay event. Katrina participated in a Q & A with 3 other distinguished women from various industries. She  gave wonderful real-world advice to these girls and serves as a shining example on how to be a successful in business. It was obvious that her warm and engaging style really captured their attention.

     

Powerplay with Justin Tuck…

Justin Tuck, defensive end for the New York Giants was on hand at a very special charity event that I covered last week.

It was a one-day event run by Powerplay (www.powerplaynyc.org) providing high school girls from underserved communities with the opportunity to:

• Connect with female role models & mentors
• Explore a variety of careers
• Learn valuable life skills
• Paticpate in sports & fitness activities

Justin spent the day mentoring these girls in football and providing positive feedback through example. A couple more pictures below.

  

I’ll post more shots of the attendees and girls soon.

French fashion icon, celebrity and designer dies at the age of 71. His legacy to the world of style and fashion ran from 1957 to 2002. He posed nude for the first mens fragrance ad in 1971 and was at the height of changing women’s fashion during the 60′s and 70′s. Yves Saint Laurent continued his career for decades as a leader and maverick of style and fashion.

Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and Ryder Russell Robinson…

So, yesterday I was on my way to Central Park for a great photoshoot with 4 wonderful beautiful women from Ireland (I’ll post an image or two from the shoot later). We get to Columbus circle and notice Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell and their grandchild Ryder Russell Robinson at around 5:15PM.

Now, since I’m not a paparazzi photographer I wasn’t prepared to be honest. Still I grabbed my camera out of my bag, whipped on my lens and this was the best shot I was able to get. Obviously not a great shot.

 I really didn’t want to be one of those annoying photographers so I called out to her to ask her if I could get a shot. She paused for just a second and I could tell she must’ve had ten billion thoughts running through her mind – who is this dude, where will these photos end up, what must I look like in this heat, etc.

Bottom line – she gave me the dis and turned away. As a big fan I would have loved just a quick smile, but that was not to be.  

Like I said, I’m not paparrazi and wasn’t going to behave like one. Rather than running ahead and trying to catch a better shot, I decided to repsect her as an individual trying to just have a normal day.  I turned off my camera and went on to my shoot.

 So Goldie,  if you ever read this I’m still a fan and would still love to get a shot of you.
