From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. This is from the second day I was allowed the joy of shooting with the Nikon D5.These are the hands of an 86 year old man. The road map of is his life etched there.
There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa.....
Because of the D5 I AM: A Super Hero.

From my most recent trip to Cuba. Dancers....
The color version, captured with the AMAZING Nikon Z6 and the best piece of glass I have ever shot with the 105mm f1.4 Nikkor.

Not every day you get blessed by a a baby buddha.

I shot this whilst walking on the streets of New York City during B&H's Optic 2018.
My father was a New Yorker and whenever I went to his home town I tried to capture images that reminded me of the stories he would tell me about growing up in NYC. He was a diehard Yankees fan.

I shot this image on the day after my Oz to Kansas workshop at Maine Media Workshops. We were packing up and Estefany Vasquez was kind enough to sit for a few images. This image was captured with the "conversational Portrait approach that I taught at MMW. We will be doing a video on it this Thursday at my studio

I approach light conceptually as if it is a solid object. I look at my subject as interrupting my light, not that I am just. lighting my subject. Light is the jewel of the photograph.

(This is a four parter) Image 4
Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section
This is from my most recent trip to Myanmar. I traveled 36 hours of flying (not including layovers) then 16 hours by 4 wheel drive to travel 58 miles in to the mountains of Nagaland to attend the New Years festival.
I am frequently asked "how do you get away with getting so close to people?" and "How do you get people to ope up to you? Do you speak the language?" My language skills are akin to someone saying they are a musician because the instrument they play is the stereo. I n other words I barely speak English. That said I do do speak fluent silly. The ability to play and the willingness to make a complete fool of myself in public has served my photography career well.
This is the "picture story" of the three in a tryptic.
There are approximately 95 Naga Tribes in Nagaland. They are a hunter gatherer / slash and burn culture. Up to 1985 they were headhunters and and practiced cannibalism. Which would give me pause if I was told they want me over for lunch. The New year's festival is in part a celebration to comrade the ending of those practices and the embracing of a more spiritual path. This a warrior form Kyal Yar village
Shot with the fabulous Z7 modified for Infrared 24-70mm f4 s series lens at 160iso. Post processed with Capture NXD and the NiK collection Silver Efex Pro in Photoshop CC

From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. This time I was allowed the joy of shooting with the Nikon D5. Dominos are the national port of Cuba. This was light with the light that decided to show up for the shoot.
So so if you want to know why I choose to light with a thermonuclear device instead do a battery powered light source. Now you know.
However...... There is no image I cannot capture. The ability of this camera to shoot in lighting conditions so dark that you have to to image that there is light to provide illumination. Spot on color, speed touch screen focus in live view. Whoa..... Because of the D5 I AM: A Super Hero.

From my recent PBPW Cuba workshop. Some more Chromatic Grayscale. I am absolutely fascinated by gesture. Jay Maisel said "Light, gesture and color are the key components of every photography. Light and color are obvious but it is gesture that is the most important, the most telling." Thank you Jay for teaching me one of the greatlessons of photography.

I thought I was going to hate mirror-less shooting. I like looking through a lens and seeing reality not a TV screen. HOWEVER I carry the V-1 with me where ever I go. I always have a camera. So This is the lie in the truth. I cannot imagine a future that is not 100% mirrorless for me.
I was walking in Trinidad Cuba. When I came upon a tower at the top of the tallest building in Trinidad at sunset. Which means a really long rickety ladder. I had to make a decision, what is going up with me and what is staying. D800 modified for IR (Duh....) AND D600, D800 or V1. V1 was the winner. This lil' bad boy continually impresses me.
It was captured with a Nikon V1 camera using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) file was post processed using capture NX 2.0 software and Photoshop CS6 using NiKColorefex 4 and Viveza 2.
Final file is stored and scaled using Perfect Resize (AKA Genuine Fractals.)

This is image was also shot on my first day out in Havana during my Palm Beach Photographic Centre's Cuba workshop. 4000iso. Walk in the park. I converted this image using the cording technique (multiple plug-in layers balanced for red, green and blue) I am beginning to work wit onOne's BW software and must admit it shows great promise for the future. (more on that as I get better with it)
This image was captured by a Nikon D600camera. 28-300 coated VR II lens in the Nikon Electronic Image File Formant (.NEF). ISO is 4000. file was post processed using Capture NX2 Photoshop CS6, Nik Color Efex 4.0.

Whilst the Facebook world is pelting us with infinite amounts of amazing photographs of the solar eclipse....
Now for something completely different
More from my way back in the day when there was some art and skill involved shooting headshots vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo, DMV and a yearbook picture rant.
This is of the actor David Breitbart. What an amazing actor, of the best I ever worked with.
.
I shot this with a Nikon F5 a Nikkor 70-210Dmm lens, a Westcott Sunlight reflector, and Iford HP5+ rated at 200iso. Scanned with an Epson V850 and Silverfast software.

AND..... the scans from my Epson V850 keep coming..... yet another one of my old working headshot portfolios from way back in the day when there was some art involved vs. today where it has evolved to something that is a cross between a passport photo and a yearbook picture. This is one of the "Highlander" actor Adrian Paul. This is from one of the contact sheets I was photographing hime whilst we were prepping. One of the advantages of being a conservatory trained actor (ACT/BU) that then went to USC is I am trained to work on both sides of a camera.
I shot this with a Nikon F5 a Nikkor 70-210Dmm lens, a Westcott Sunlight reflector, and Iford HP5+ rated at 200iso Scanned with an Epson V850 and Silverfish software.

This is an image from my most recent trip to PBPW Cuba. The image you are seeing are part of a greater project, a book serries titled "Turning the Last Page." The title of the Cuba project is "Cuba: Turning the Last Page of 1962."
The camera was the fabulous Nikon D500. The lens was 18-300mm DX"street sweeper II" lens. To make sure we are all on the same page, there are always two aspects to every shoot. "The Shoot" itself and the post processing to final art. This image contains both aspects and is the outcome of the post processing this is a copy of that final file.
For "the shoot" aspect of this project no artificial light, no make-up on the subjects, no reflectors or diffusers all of the images are spontanious none of the subjects are posed. So what you are seeing is (from the shoot aspect) just the lens. Just the camera. Just the light that was there. Just the subject
My goal every time I shoot is to be the weakest linkn the entire project.
This image of a dog that decided to pose for me whilst walking the streets of Havanaa.
When asked what is the best light W. Eugene Smith said "Why the best light is available light and by available light I mean any damn light that is available."..... This approach to lighting Works for me.
I have always held that the lens is the brush, the camera sensor is the canvas. I have also held the that the beauty of a lens is not in how well it handles focus but rather how well it handles from in focus to blur.
There is no image I cannot capture. There is no image in which my vision of the image and the beauty of moment that took me that is not enhanced by the beauty of the glass and lens design of the Nikon system.
So you want to know why I choose Nikon? Now you know.
Because of my Nikon camera- I AM: A Super Hero. Because of the Nikkor lenses I AM: A Super Hero with tack sharpnes at point of focus and beautiful Bokeh every place else in the image.
NOTE: I do indeed use Photoshop. It's true. Have been since version 1. when it fit on a single floppy disc. Most inspired piece of software ever written. I was employee number 2 of Niksoftware ( Colorefex, SilverEfex) and employee number 6 of Altamira Group (the inventor of Genuine Fractals) so yes I do also use plug-ins. So if you are viewing an image (unless otherwise noted) on my personal pages, website and sundry feeds they are all post processed if I put them up.
To be very crystal clear ALL of my images that I post on my personal web feeds are post processed.
So that this non issue is no issue these are my "FINAL" versions on my PERSONAL sites. Because it is my personal page I do reserve the right to delete comments from angry photographic charlatan internet trolls.
I always make it a point, If you read the full description of any of my images, to always list the software and hardware used to produce an image.
Nikon #D500 #18-300mm DX lens. Recorded to Lexarmedia Raw conversion done in Capture NX-D. converted to a 16bit Prohoto colorspace .TIFF. Further post processing Photoshop CC 2017, Nik collection by Google, oNonesoftware ver.10.5. Wacom Cintiq 27QHD, Benq SW2700 monitor (for approval color)

CHROMATIC GRAYSCALE VERSION
Second post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country.
In 1962 Nikon released the Nikon "F". Not only did Nikon release the camera they released it with a slew of lenses and accessories. Over 800,000 Nikon "F" cameras were sold. In 1962 Nikon ran an ad campaign that featured Marylin Monroe shot by Bert Stern. (www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXixgkR3II) Sadly it would also be her last photo shoot.
What I wanted to do was celebrate the shoot using the tech of today. Soooooo you will be seeing a lot of images from the shoot we did on the deck of my studio.
I am a big believer in getting it as close to completely right in the camera as reality allows. What I was able to do with the combo of the sunbounce cage and hive lights was magic. We shot video during the shoot to discuss how to do conversational portraiture using the D850.First post processed image from my “Marilyn Monroe” shoot with Stephanie Stuart arguably the Best Marilyn Monroe impersonator in the country. I am a big believer in getting it as close to completely right in the camera as reality allows. What I was able to do with the combo of the sunbounce cage and hive lights was magic. We shot video during the shoot to discuss how to do conversational portraiture using the D850.
I used Hive light led wasps lights with a leko lens an a fresnel. Sunbounce cage and Sunbounce reflectors.

'hhHands give clues to the entire personality of the subject's moods, attitude, tension. — Yousef Karsh
My grandfather Pasquale use to quip that all you ever need to to to shut up an Italian was to make them sit on their hands. Hands are as communicative, sometimes even more than, the expression on the face of the subject of a portrait. I am completely captivated by hands.
One thing to keep in mind is I never pose any of my subjects. Be it in the studio or when I am doing street photography. All my images are “found” of the moment and absolutely spontaneous.
I am not sure which I prefer the color or the black and white. But this hand truly do tell a story of a life.
WHAT A BLAST this last workshop was. I shot these images with the new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot and the 135mm Plena lens just Whoa. Bokeh is my thing. An exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. I fell in love with it and kinda for got to switch lenses, it’s just that pretty and just that useful. The Zf is now the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through whilst I shoot. Nobody does In focus to blur as well as Nikon does.

Jay Maisel once quipped "I fall in a 1000 times a day at a 1/250th of a second. I apparently do not believe in long relationships or long exposures." For me the most successful portraits are the ones where you photograph the person where they hide. You see the moment of innocence that each of us holds within.
This is the second image of of a young Cuban girl posing during her Quinceañera. I was walking by and she was just standing outside the hotel whilst the party was going on. The image was captured by a Nikon D-800 camera modified for infrared with a 28-300 mm VR II lens

I shot this image on my second day of my February 2015 Palm Beach Photographic Workshop to Cuba in Havana. (There are two spots left for my March 21-29 workshop. www.workshop.org/travel.php) I only brought two cameras to the workshop and three lenses. The cameras the amazing Nikon D750 and and a Nikon D800 modified (by lifepixel.com) to capture infrared.
The Lenses were the equally amazing and versatile Nikkor 28-300mm (AKA "the Street sweeper), Nikkor 24-120mm Nano and the Nikkor 80-400mm Nano coated lenses.
This image was captured with my Nikkor 28-300mm (AKA "the Street sweeper) my go to lens with my go to camera.

Life is a lot like jazz... it's best when you improvise.
– George Gershwin
It is the absolute spontaneity of the moment that gives a photograph that it is the moment between moments on the way to the next moment that creates the sensation of motion that is frozen time.
This is another image of the trumpet player Rolando Lara.
This image was captured with the Nikon Zf and the 135mm f1.8 Plena Nikkor. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and Nikkor optics are just a visual pleasure to look through wilst I shoot. Nobody does In focus to blur as well as Nikon does.

This is an image I took of Kathryn Morris.
(From the cleaning out my long term storage facility big ass box of slides I hauled to the studio series.) This image was originally shot on Fuji Film, Nikon F5 70-210mm D Series lens. Lit with a Westcott Sunlight reflector (my light modifier of choice) and a Westcott Skcrimjim diffuser I thing it was 2 stops of diffusion). The big observation is the lack of color I have in comparison to today's digital camera and the lack of sharpness film had (using the same lens then as I do today) compared to digital.
Again this was done with my old Nikon PB-6 Bellows (I was going to play with it for Marco and I still had the slide copier.) a Nikon D810, a Nikkor 60mm Nano Macro lens to itand use my new Westcott daylight balanced flex light.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.
– Sir Terry Pratchett
Light is the jewel of the photograph and the subject should be approached as if it is interrupting the beautiful light. Light should be thought of and approached as it is aas tangible a thing as the subject itself. But dark us just as important to an image as light and should be treated with the same care and respect as one treats light.
I love photographing Cuba. I love the physicality of the their expression. This image is of the balirino Marco Hinder Vincent. Light moves an inch every two minutes and this is the light reflecting off a 4th floor balcony glass French door that moments later the dweller of the apartment closed. Ya take what ya get and are thankful of the gift.

Good photography isn’t about Zone Printing or any other Ansel Adams nonsense. It’s just about seeing. You either see or you don’t see. The rest is academic. Photography is simply a function of noticing things. Nothing more
- Elliott Erwitt
From my latest trip to Cuba…..
The national sport of Cuba is Dominos. They have an Olympic team. Just because no other counter has one falls under the category of “AND your point is….” For Cubans. Ask a Cuban if dominos is a board game the response is an indignant “there is nothing boring about dominos.”
This is image was shot with the in camera black and white setting.
The new Nikon Zf a very fun camera to shoot and the 50mm f1.2 lens. An exquisitely beautify piece of glass to work with. The Zf is the camera I grab when I have no idea what I am walking into and the a to look through whilst I shoot.

Jazz is the only music in which the same note can be played night after night but differently each time.
― Ornette Colman
Music and photography are to Cuba like a kiss is to a hug. Each is intertwined with the other. I can be argued and rightly so that the origins of Jazz come from a migration of Afro-Cubans in 1886.
The tradition of photography in Cuba finds its roots in the way the story of the Cuban revolution was told to the people of Cuba, through photography. The echos of those traditions ripple through time to today.
