What's the Hook? slideshow in Red Hook





working with Bilyana Dimitrova





i got a last minute gig to assist on a shoot with architectual photographer, Bilyana Dimitrova, today. i was more or less her 2nd assistant for the day. Bilyana was shooting an east side apartment near midtown on the 25th floor. the apartment had amazing views on two different decks. we did a lot of sitting around, waiting for light to shift, dusk to come. i basically ran errands and helped move furniture and props around. everyone there was amazing. super wonderful people to work with. and did i mention how kick ass it was to work with a successful WOMAN photographer?!?! Bilyana is so down to earth. i learned a great deal. it was a great opportunity. i'd say architectual photography is up there on my list of favorite things to shoot. it was a treat and an honor to work with Bilyana. it will be one of my more memorable new york experiences.

photowalk with Scott



Scott was passing through NYC for a few days. we had a nice photowalk through red hook. it was the eve of the big ikea opening in brooklyn. i wanted to check it out and investigate who would be waiting in line already. there were a few doing so. weirdos.


but the real cool part was exploring the revamped waterfront. ikea put a really cool park together down there. if you don't shop at ikea, at least check out the erie basin park. good times.
