A short film that I produced will be shown at the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. The exhibit is Design USA: Contemporary Innovation celebrates the winners honored during the first ten years of the prestigious National Design Awards.



Industrial designer Eva Zeisel will be honored in this exhibition and a short film that I did about her will be shown in the museum. It's a really cool idea. everyone will be loaned an ipod touch to view films about the honorees.

The Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum is located at 2 East 91st Street in Manhattan. And this is the film that will be shown:

Nice weather in New York yesterday.

dreamy light

I've been experimenting a little bit with dreamy-looking sunlight in the background and unrestricted lens flare. Not quite portfolio material at this point, but still fun.

Central Park

Sheep Meadow Soccer



New Yorkers take full advantage of the warm summer day during an impromptu soccer game in Central Park's Sheep Meadow on July 6, 2009.

I couldn't resist

fireworks photo:

Fever Dream

I had a fun shoot with improv comedy group Sid Viscous. They perform longform improv in NYC at The Pit.

They had wonderful ideas of mad scientists and we decided that the photo would be the perfect way to introduce the creation of their new longform style "Fever Dream."

Washington Square Park is OPEN!

Yes. The park has re-open for now. They'll no doubt close off the parts that haven't been revamped yet for more renovations, but I think the brunt of it is over. Caught some hacky sackers celebrating the open space and nice weather recently. I used the opportunity to test out some new location lighting equipment.
