Pinhole Self Portrait
The self-portrait below was created by punching a small hole in the body cap of my small Rebel XTi and using it as a pinhole camera. I used a small maglight to light myself during the exposure (20 seconds) and then processed the image in Lightroom. The coverage using the 'cap pinhole' doesn't even fully cover the 1.6x crop sensor, so I wouldn't even bother trying it on my 5DII, but I think it could produce a lot of interesting images on any 1.6x camera (Canon xxD series, Rebel series, 7D) and would be even sized on 1.5x cameras (Nikon DX).
Light Painting Studies: 11.12.2010
These shots are all light painting studies: working with using the space better (all three dimensions) in order to create a stronger composition that in past light paintings. None of these are final images, but projects that I would like to spend more time on.
Light Painting: 12.5.2008
I had help with these photos, taken in 2008. About 18of us all had different types of lights that we used during the long exposure - the first two are really more works in progress than anything (too much clutter in the background) but I think that the third one functions as a finished work: yet if I were to shoot it now I would change the color balance significantly. These photos were taken on the west border of Prospect Park in Brooklyn.
Light Juggling 10.28.2007
I hope to do more work on this series in the future. In this photo I'm juggling (only three) light changing juggling balls and moving side to side in the room. It's hard to create decent composition when juggling around a dark room but I think there's some great potential here. This photo is over three years old as of the date of this posting.
World Trade Center Site: May 2nd, 2011 - Approx. 1:50 - 2:30am
The below photographs are from the World Trade Center Site in Manattan which I took between roughly 1:50am and 2:30am, hours after President Obama announced the death of Osama bin Laden. The ethics of this will be debated for centuries, conspiracy theorists are already eating it up as one more reason the government's out to get us, and where there's a crowd for whatever reason the people turn into a crowd and act as crowds do (not very intelligently). These photos are about none of that. I did not go to WTC to celebrate; I went to watch history - history to whatever end. Of the 227 photos that I took, the four below best captured for me the feeling of the night.
