Back to the Blog

My problem with blogging has always been a lack of traction. A lack of connection. When I created my first blog about 15 years ago, I was shooting a lot of music artists. I was shooting faces that were recognizable to the general public. There were stories to be told about these shoots -everything from scheduling concerns, to technical issues to minor interactions with publicists and the artists themselves.

As a former NYC DOE high school english teacher, I’ve always had the ability to communicate effectively in writing, but I’ve always been a bit too caught up perhaps in how my writing is received by the general public. If I write something and I get feedback, I am encouraged to continue writing. It doesn’t even matter if the response is negative. As long as I know someone is watching, I’m inspired to create.

It’s the same issue I have with posting photographs on Instagram. As long as there is some engagement, I want to post more. When it feels like I’m adding water to the ocean and my contribution just disappears, I tend to fall off from posting.

This time will be different. I’m going to show up on this platform. At least once per week.

Let’s get real

Most likely, I’m going to post here for about 3 months and then I’ll move on to a different creative pursuit. But I think you should check out what I post during that time. You’ll get insight into the life of a NYC based professional photographer working in the greatest city in the world. Even if I’m not on this platform for a long time, I promise that I will be here for a worthwhile time.
