Stranded in Cleveland

Holiday Travel and lake effect snow in Buffalo...a self-portrait of hobo-me and a bed of sweaters was my best attempt at making lemonade.

With A Single Flash and Many Friends

A Bientôt, Farvel and Adios...portraits from the final danish-french-spano-ruso-chino-palestinian-american-macedonian goodbye...(did I miss anyone?) and thanks to Simon, who introduced me to his favorite technique...



Three Flasks of Bacardi. (Aaron, did you take this shot?)

Larry and Laural Power, volunteers at the Lighthouse Theater, have known Hazel since she was a child. Hazel shares a close relationship with her volunteers and performers alike. This couple is part of a portrait series done for the project of the many faces of the theater. Enjoy!

Multiple Flash

Laura Draffen and "Zinny" dance salsa Wednesday night at the Artisan. Mainly club dancers, the couple began dancing four and a half years ago when locales in Columbia started to host Latin Dance nights.

I liked the hands in the picture; that's all. I had mostly problems of aiming my flash (I'm clumsy with a monopod!) and getting the focus just right. I did, however, find it easier to shoot this situation than I had during the Single Flash Assignment.

Audio Slideshows

This one's been around for a while; but it's one of my favorites. For those of you who haven't seen Luis Sinco's Marlboro Marine (featured on Media Storm for the past year), it's definately worth a few minute's of your time.

I find the piece a good follow-up to Sinco's leading image (which on its own became iconic of the war in Iraq).  He later delved into this Marine's life and post-duty experience; an honest and provoking portrait of both an individual and an issue much larger than himself.
