Something I just do, or I should say I do now and for a long time now, is when I am in the field I always take a picture out the window of where I am staying. It's something my mentor, Jay Maisel alays does when he travels. I thought at the time "well why not" and for a long time felt a little silly doing it for doing it's sake. Then As I got my head out of my butt about it I really started to see the world. When I didn't do it I'd spend the day thinking about what I saw and thought I'l be sure to do it tommorw but the image never came back and all I had of the prior morning was a cyberchrome.

So this is a shot on the first day out my window playing with all my new toys in Cuba befor my first cup of coffee. I have seen this view over the course of 15 years and I am amazed that the image shows up everytime and I was simi-conscious enough to let it take me.

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera.

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

(post) Senior session. Another golden (but chilly) day. Lighting was with a California Sunbounce.

I just got back from Cuba. It was my first trip out side of the USA in over two years. This image is of the dance Grettell Lastre Casuso. It was a bittersweet trip. I will post the images as I process them. I shot almost 12,000 frames.

Post Cards from the vacation that is my life. the "I have been some remote placeless but....... " section

This 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.

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.

These are warrior babies form Kyal Yar village. They capture heart with terminal cuteness.

Shot with the fabulous Z7 modified for Infrared by Life Pixel. 24-70mm f4 s series lens at 160iso. Post processed with Capture NXD and the NiK collection Silver Efex Pro in Photoshop CC

“Your first 10,000 photographs are your worst.”

– Henri Cartier-Bresson

I have shot this view 10,000 times. It Neve ceases to amaze me.

Yup I bit the bullet and modified a Z9 for infrared. I did a full spectrum conversion and then am using the bayonet filters from Kolarivision. Which means I can have my cake and eat it too. THe first element of the lens dictates everything that is going to happen from the quality of the light and resolution of thar light. So putting the IR filter at the end of the light path is far better than putting a filter in front of the lens. a full spectrum conversion allows me to bring my camera back to visible spectrum with a different filter as well as having every flavor of IR....coool....

London, UNITED KINGDOM

This picture of model Nick was taken on the second day of my September 2009 2-day London workshop. Usually I leave most of the shooting to the participants on the second day but upon general request I did a short shoot with Nick to show how I communicate with models. Nick said he could use some moody 'dark' shots for his book, so that's what we went for.

LIGHTING INFO:

Nick is standing in a small tunnel, there was soft light coming from both ends of the tunnel. By trying out some different spots in the tunnel and blocking some light with a Sunbounce reflector we got the light to be pretty even on both sides of the face. The light on tunnel wall gave us a nice background with a natural vignette but it didn't provide enough separation behind Nick's head, so we used a narrow gridded speedlite to add just a touch of light on the wall behind Nick.

You may not be able to teach an old dog new tricks but an old dog can remember cool tricks.

One of the most useful tools ison a Nikon camera is the metering system. There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering. It was shot at 4500iso.

From my most recent trip to Cuba.

This is from my latest trip to Cuba. I admit it I am a cat lady. I shot this with thew 50mm 1.8 S series lens. A lens that truly blew me away. To be honest I have alway viewed a 50mm lens as an optical lens cap. I have learned the error of my ways. This is a breathtaking star lens with beautiful bokeh.

This from my most recent trip to Myanmar. Soooo.... I m now back in Yangon after my journey to the outskirts of the absolute middle of nowhere.

So about this image- I have a hardfast rule.... I NEVER GIVE MONEY TO ANYONE. The reason is, to do this, as was I was told early on by one of my "fixers" is that by doing this all you do is to help create a society of beggars.

So give food, give shampoo, give soap, give paper, give pencils, give toothbrush yes. Cash? Nope (unless it's to a school then absolutely) My only exception is when I cross paths with a Buddhist Monk or Nun, Their journey is one of prayer and living off the kindness of strangers. Got no problem with that. So I gave these baby nuns (maybe 5000 Kyat. (about 3 dollars US) They didn't believe how much wealth they had to give the nunnery.

Another image that I have look at over the course of many years and said to myself "You should shoot that" and I have shot it. many, many, many, many, many times. Now I'm happy with it. The sign has been abandand since 1962. There is no bar or resataurant there since 1962. But there it is the sign attached to a building no on lives in.

Oostende, BELGIUM

I recently did a guerilla shoot together with my friend and fellow photographer Jean. The goal was to test the California Sunbounce Micro Mini reflector with flash attachement. We decided to go on a completely unplanned mission: no location, no make-up, no models, not much gear and no concept. Just shoot what we came up with at the moment.

LIGHTING INFO

I underexposed the ambient light by a stop or so. The Sunbounce with a Vivitar 285HV flash attached (camera left), lights the subject. I think the flash was at 1/4 power.

Here's the YouTube video of this shoot.

I love photographing dancers, especially Cuban Ballet Dancers.This is from my latest trip to Cuba. We were on our way back from shooting dancers leaping in the street and the lights was right, the background screamed 105mm f 1.4 and the lovely MariKarla Laguna was hanging out in the shade. It amazes me what passing clouds can do tho change the light.

I shot this with the Nikon Z7 and the 70-200mm f4 lens.

The Z system is simply best of class. The quality of the file and the perfection of the color coupled with the new lenses sharpness, just a joy to shoot. Enough with the commercial...

I have walked down this street over the past 10 years, I average 10 to 12 miles day (thank god for the healthcares program on my iPhone I suppose) I look up and around

then I was taken.

I try to create images that put the viewer in the same place the moment I was taken by the moment.

So apperently I like tis view. I captured it in color too. The movement of the moment of time is fleeting. The moment of movement held in the boarders of a photograph is forever.

I post processed both sets twice in capture NXD one at N exposure and then again at N- (2/3 stop) under. Vivid as the Picture cintrol setting in NX-D.

This is an image of the Cuba ballarnia Grettell Lastre Casuso.

This image is a bout a second aprt form the previous image.

The day I stopped taking the photograph and let the photograph take me is the day my images improved. Is technique important..yes.Is knowing everything there is to know about your camera and the process important....again yes. But the goal is tho reach the place of thoughtful thoughtless thought. Where you go along for the ride and let the unconscious mind handle the heavy lifting.

I just show up and leave my self open to receive the gift of what is in front of me.

I am only as good as the the subject in front of me. I never really take a photograph. They always take me.

"The more things . change, the more they remain the same."

Good thing I remember how to do portraits because I COMPLETLY BLEW IT SHOOTING THE DANCERS ACTUALLY DANCING ON THIS TRIP. AND I KNOW HOW TO SHOOT DANCERS DANCING.... I just forgot it.

Let's see who can I blame? My sister (my father once blamed her for the snow,) that won't work.... blame it on all the politicians I don't like- but they were nowhere near Havana at the time.

Ahhh yes!!! It was the panfdemic's fault yeah that's the ticket. It was the the second booster. Nikki Minaj's cuz's best friends neighbor had the same thing happen to him. I read it on the internet when I used the google to do a search about it. I did my research...

This is the breakdancer dancer Ibraham.

There is a powerful advantage to a camera that can focus at the speed of life and that is more silent than a breath held expectant. You can truly create a place when the spirt of the subject can hide in your camera.

There is no camera system that has a better or more powerful one. This image was was shot using highlight center metering.

Shot with the AMAZING Z9. The Z9 is more camera than I am photographer.

From my latest trip to Cuba.

Breath Taking:

The greatest photographs are ones that have the feel of a breath held expectant. When the photographer was so taken by the moment the gasp of moment caused the shutter to be released and that breath of a moment is forever held in an image.

They are the gift of giving the echo of time, showing a moment of the past in the future to be the present every time it is seen.

This is an image of the Ballet Grettell Lastre Casuso.

Central Park.......

When was a very young boy my father and I would go to Little Italy (now referred to as REALLY little Itay) in NYC and by cheeses, salami, mortadella etc. a loaf a bread and White Rock Cream Sodas and have a picnic lunch in the park. This is one of the views I remember from one of the "secret" uich spots.

This image was capture using Kolari Vision's new in batonet mount filter system for IR. This is the 720mn filter. I have to say I am more than impressed

I went to the 194-1965 New York World's Fair. We went every weekend it was open. My father had designed the hydraulic system used on the AMF Monorail and he was working on the Crawler and Saturn 5 projects.

PanAm flew A a twin propeler helocopter from the roof of the PanAm building to the Fair and back. I got to do that ride. Yeah it's the "MetLife"" Building now. But it will always be the PanAm building to me.

Light is the jewel of the photograph. I treat light as if it is a solid object and the subject interrupts my beautiful light. What would you rather see a line of laundry beautifully lit or the Taj Mahal poorly lit? It is always about the light. We write with light when we photograph.

I was photographing a dance rehearsal when the ballerina and the light from a skylight met for a moment and I was lucky enough t be focused in the right spot. I watched her interrupt the beautiful light.
