A 2,400 year old Alabastron (perfume bottle) from an ancient Greek shipwreck excavated in Turkey in 1999 and 2000. This was shot on assignment in the museum in Bodrum, housed inside a restored crusader castle as this delicate stone object was undergoing conservation. This image appeared in the March, 2002 issue of National Geographic Magazine. Shot on medium format film, I wouldn't hesitate to do it now on my Nikon D2X instead.

On assignment for Changi Class Magazine.

The bright lights of the Big Apple.

I know this style doesn't work for everyone - Megan! - but I happen to be quite fond of the things that come out of my uncertain period. Initially I wanted a few sharp frames, but that proved difficult to accomplishing from a bus taking a ramp at 75 miles an hour. I like this better, especially the little angel dancing in the lower left of the frame. I really wanted this one to end up in the magazine. Didn't happen.

 

I was lucky to have Jahrensy and Damian along for the ride on this NYC adventure. See what they have to say about it.

Roughly 1200 Jews live there, running Jewish schools, synagogues, and Kosher restaurants. Alit Sabban (pictured) and Hanna Sabban plan on turning this rundown building into a new school for their students — the two currently run a primary school for girls in a series of disconnected, borrowed spaces (one is a residential garage) and badly need a new home.
