New Year. New Start. New Website.
The last time I wrote to you was for New Years to recap on 2010. It’s been a while, much has happened, including me having to shut down shop for a while since my Dad got diagnosed with cancer and passed away in March. Now I am back, and better than ever for a new start.
I just recently returned from Burning Man, the one week Arts and Music Festival in the Black Rock Desert in Nevada, that I attend every year expect for one for the last 6 years. For me it has become my New Years. It’s where I take inventory of what the year before had in store, the lessons I learned, the mistakes I made, and see what I want to keep in my life, what I want to throw out and how I can improve from the year before. This year the theme of the festival was “Rites of Passage” and it couldn’t have been more appropriate since I am stepping away from it feeling that not only on a personal level, but also on a professional level I am entering a new passage in my life. So I am now coming back with a new website, new work and even a video I recently shot for the producer/Henry Strange. And further more, come October 1st I will have a photo studio in downtown Los Angeles.
Last year when I decided to leave New York and move to Los Angeles, I knew that in Los Angeles I would move away from photojournalism and concentrate on my portrait work with a focus on musicians. Also I was feeling that conceptual work was coming back into my life. After the last couple of years of documenting exactly what was there, I felt the urge to again direct and influence the surroundings, the subject I was photographing. Sp look forward to many fun and new things to come form me this year!
With this year being primarily taken up by taking care of things concerning my family, I didn’t have the mind or the time to shoot a lot, however I was able to still sneak in a couple of shoots, and I do have some new things to show. So I would like to introduce to you my brand new website, where you can see some of the new things I have been working on:

Also I have decided that I will discontinue my blog and will bundle everything together on my facebook page. I would love it if you would “like” my page and become a fan, to get the latest news, tips and blurbs from me:
