Indoor shoot, believe it or not.

Running between meetings in the city.


Gus Gus played a magnificent set at the Highland Ballroom in NYC on October 10th, 2014.


The mighty Fu Manchu at the Mercury Lounge in New York City. May 19th 2014. Hard Rock at its finest from California.


Part of an ongoing series of short stories based on real life experiences in NYC.

Time-lapse and other technique experiments in NYC.

In memoriam. I had lived in NY for just under 6 months when the Twin Towers went down. I had just visited Windows of the World a few weeks earlier, in August. It was a heartbreak initially and a heartwarming later when I experienced the true spirit of New Yorkers in the aftermath.

Katrin was the New York Sales representative at Smuggler while the Snorri Brothers were there. Wonderful friend and human being. She’s also very photogenic and this shot of her for the Thoughtful series is one of my favorites. We shot it near her office in SoHo when she was working for Rabbit Content. It was late in the day, golden sunlight was streaking in between buildings in SoHo and Katrin turned on her charm (she told me she used to be a model after this shoot, I was not surprised)
Music video for Lay Low to "By And By" from the album "Farewell Good Night’s Sleep". Lay Low floats above a miniature world with an air of amusement as she peeks down on the little people and things below her before she goes into space.
Honored with the "Award of Excellence" at the 2010 Canada International Film Festival.

This picture of master editor Maury Loeb was shot during an edit. It is taken on the rooftop deck of PS. 260, the edit house in NY. Maury has cut a bunch of my projects, one of which (Crash) resulted in an AICE award for Maury for best VFX Editing.

A chilly winter day in New York, wandering the streets with my camera. I like the casual nature of this shot and the fact that this woman seems to have noticed that I’m shooting from the hip and that I just barely caught her eyes.

I shot this picture of Lay Low (Lovísa) after a gig at a small coffee shop in the East Village. This is shot in the middle of traffic on Park Avenue South by Union Square on a hot summer night. I later did a music video to one of her songs. She’s a wonderful artist and collaborator.

Nuutti is a friend that lives in New York City. As the name suggests he’s from Finland and he’s a rock star. This portrait was shot impromptu near his laundromat in the East Village. I was hanging out with him and a mutual friend doing laundry one day and we got this great shot of him. Photogenic guy.

This is an organic Ice Cream and Espresso truck. It’s operated by a hipster with tattooed arms and a red beard. It’s purpose is to spread the gospel of the hipster across NYC (and ultimately the world). The hipster organization is growing in power and numbers.
Do we need to fight back? Meh.
Here’s to the market not crashing today

New York is kind of an endless stream of people and activity. I love grabbing a camera and go out and shoot stuff in the city. You never know what you’ll get. Like this very expressive and authentic New York woman.

This is Paulie Z the front man of the Brooklyn band ZO2 playing Arlene’s Grocery, NY circa 2008. Rock ‘n’ Roll.

An Indian restaurant in Brooklyn.

Combo sticker art.

At least they’re being used for something.


SoHo street scene in sweltering summertime.

70s style architecture always warms my heart.
It’s hot in NYC now, this seems like a lifetime ago.
