in≈ Comments Off on My Infamous Underwear Photo Shoot & the Passing of Time
Tags
I just noticed it’s been a couple of years since my “infamous” Underwear at 50 photo shoot! Sometimes I take a glance back at the photos and usually I decide there are lots I don’t like. I just noticed this one that I kinda liked this time around (click it to see it against a dark background):
It’s got a different “feel” to it than the one I posted originally from this particular shot location.
Maybe it’s because I didn’t think this one was “comical” enough? I’m not sure.
It’s pretty common for me to go back to sets of photos I took in the past with “fresh eyes” and see photos I like that I didn’t like the first or even second time around. Strange phenomenon…:p

The GrassRoots Festival in Trumansburg, New York is coming up this July and I realized I hadn’t really gone through the photos I took at last year’s GrassRoots Festival! So here now is a bunch of photos I took at last year’s festival!

Today was the 3rd day of the 2015 Ithaca Festival (Saturday, May 30, 2015), and it was a hot one! There was a thunderstorm in the middle of the day that either cooled it down slightly or made it even more uncomfortable because of the additional humidity. In any case, it was quite hot in the sun!
I took a short stroll around the festival after the thunderstorm and tried to snap fragments of scenes that captured some of the festival “flavor”…:-).

I sometimes try to talk my children into going to the local art museum, and they usually respond with “Nah” or “No Thanks”.
Well, it was my birthday the other day and I used the ‘leverage’ of it being my birthday to suggest we make a little visit to that art museum and then go out to dinner at a local restaurant. Even though they were predictably underwhelmed by my proposal, they obediently went along to appease the birthday boy‘s request.
Even though I’m not one of these photographers that always has his camera with him, I almost always have a camera when I visit an art museum. Most art museums allow you to take photos if you don’t use a flash. (Sometimes, they’ll have restricted exhibits where they don’t allow *any* photography; but that seems to be the exception rather than the rule.)
It’s not taking straight-up photos of each piece of artwork that I enjoy (most of the museum goers I see seem to be doing this), but rather looking for interesting juxtapositions of different artworks with each other, with respect to the museum’s architecture, in relation to the people visiting or working at the museum, or just a different distorting perspective. In short, I’m looking for any interesting compositions that catch my eye.
Here are a few shots I took during my latest visit for/during my birthday…:-).

Hey everyone…
I’m now selling a variety of my photos as small prints (8x10s, 5x7s, 4x6s) at eBay. They’re all signed and numbered. If there are any specific photos I’ve posted at this website that you’d like to see at eBay, please let me know.
I plan to start offering theme-based “signature series” photo print packets (collections of 4-6 small prints) in the near future.
If you have an eBay account, follow me (make me a favorite seller) to be notified of new photo prints & print series as I make them available.

in≈ Comments Off on 2015 Cornell Fashion Collective Show: Back Stage
Tags
This past weekend I photographed the fashion show at Cornell University for the 10th year in a row. This may have been my last year doing it; I don’t know.
In any case, over the past 10 years of photographing Cornell’s fashion show (which is always in the Spring..March or April), I usually have the most fun with the back stage photos because they’re typically unposed and can yield unpredictable (and sometimes humorous) circumstances and juxtapositions.
So here–for the tenth year in a row–are my back stage photos for the year’s Cornell fashion show:
(the actual runway show photos are elsewhere)

art, dark, moody, photography, selfie
I’m interested in photography as an art form. Lots of people interested in physical fitness use fitness selfies (often taken in bathrooms and locker rooms due to the presence of mirrors) to keep track of their fitness progress and/or to present their bodies in a good light, for example, as a means for motivating themselves to keep exercising.
Though most selfies aren’t typically artistic, there’s no reason they can’t be.
Here are two bathroom “fitness” selfies–taken with a relatively low quality phone camera that produces images reminiscent of Polaroid photographs–I present to you as possibly encroaching upon the genre of dramatic/moody artistic photography…
