Monroe St Water Fight

The following are just of some kids on my street taking advantage of the fire hydrant water on a scorching summer day. These kids are all absolutely adorable and I had a great time photographing them for about two hours or so. I tried my best to stay dry but they totally soaked me!

In The Eye! Poor Guy

I love flowers.

Fields of Flowers



I couldnt sleep last night. My mind just keeps racing, my body stays awake, it's 100 plus degrees in our apartment with no air conditioning and I couldn't breathe. I got in my car and drove and drove and drove, something I haven't done in months. As the sun was coming up I finally turned around, after 4 hours of driving. I saw these flowers right before I got back on the highway in the direction of Brooklyn. I had to stop to capture them and because I only have a 24mm lens I had to walk allllll the way through a field for this. It was worth it.

Ashleigh

This is Ashleigh, and she is living proof that sad, broken hearted girls, are the most beautiful.





& yes, I like to go to the park. A lot. ;D

Sarah and I met at a thai noodle place in Park Slope, Brooklyn. I took a few other ones of her, but this totally sums up Sarah and how it is to be a RCC Photo Student in the Big City. Love you, ya BFD

Noelle & Richie

Circle of Death Family Style & M&M's





This portrait is totally impromptu but I saw the lighting on them and loved it. I used my SB-800flash and my SB29 extended to the upper right side of them, and two fill cards. This was the only photo in the group where it seems like my siblings traded personalities. Richie is always the goofy, Jim Carrey-esque one, while Noelle is more laid back and chill. I know you're supposed to differentiate between "good" pictures and "emotional" pictures, but sometimes, they are just one in the same.

Avalon

One of my favorite ladies ever, Avalon, came from Philly to spend the day with me in New York...

Wall Art, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Escape From The City

On one of the fashion shoots I went on as a light assistant I ended up getting lost in the woods. So typical.

Escape To Grandma's

After working 70+ hours a week, I decided to take the day off and go to my Grandma Gen's down at the Jersey Shore...

Sunset to Dusk Surfers








Before I left the next morning my Grandmother and I went out to eat. This woman means the world to me, and is the one who just bought me my new D3. I have nothing but love and admiration for her, and I always have, regardless of fancy expensive presents. She won't let me take photos of her, so I just held the camera on the table and shot when she wasn't noticing.. they came out pretty good ;D





Strawberry (& Blueberry) Pancakes!!!



That Night I went to Point Pleasant Beach, which is where the boardwalk is, and where my other Grandfather has a house. I have never in all of my life (I've been coming here since I was in my mother's stomach) I have never seen the boardwalk so desolate. I was just amusing myself by taking photos of the few strangers there. I guess because it was a Monday night and school isn't out up here? Either way...



Skee Ball was my favorite game as a kid at the Arcade
