Paper Mache | A Parents Worst Nightmare

A few weeks ago I shot an art class in the Kearny Library. The teacher was teaching children where the continents on the globe were, while having them build paper mache globes. As you can imagine a room full of small children dipping their hands repeatedly in glue was not a mom favorite, but I got a few good frames for what it was.

Hoboken 5K

Yesterday I photographed a 5K in Hoboken New Jersey. Hoboken without a doubt has the best views of New York City, which made it a great place on a beautiful day.

St. Anthony's Festival

Last week I spent a little time at a church summer festival. Here are a few shots I came up with.

Baseball In The Skyline

In the New York metropolitan area land is something that is hard to come by, and is something that is very expensive. The other day I was given an assignment to shoot a youth baseball championship at Union City High School, and when I got there I was stunned to see that the school's athletic fields were five floors off the ground. The school was built with a full on stadium on it's roof. This was a pretty cool environment to shoot in, and the great light was the icing on the cake.

The First Few Days

Now that I have finally settled into my own place, I have time for a quick blog post. Below are a two images I shot for fun while in the city with my dad, as well as two images I shot for The Jersey Journal. I am just now starting to get multiple daily assignments for the paper, so look for many more blog posts to come.

A Day in the Mud: 8 Fest

This past Saturday I was assigned to shoot 8 Fest. 8 Fest is basically a huge end of the year party held in a field outside of campus. This year there were three stages with performances running all day. After my camera had a close call with the mud, I pretty much stuck to the main stage most for of the day. During the headlining act however, Machine Gun Kelly, someone threw a beer can and it shattered the top display on my camera. Most of the excitement from the day was spoiled at that point, and I was ready to leave with the photos I had. Both Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor and TV star "Drama" from the Fantasy Factory were in attendance. I'm excited to see what this fest will grow to in the coming years.

First Multimedia Project: Sam's Gym

Yesterday I finished my first multimedia project on Sam's Gym. It was a great learning experience, and I hope to continue my work with audio and video. The project seems to be a bit stretched, but other than that I am pretty happy with the way it came out. Enjoy.
