Gerbo

Steve Gerberich is an incredibly talented mechanical sculptor who I met through Beam Camp. Finding his studio in Williamsburg is easy, the hard part is finding him somewhere inside the studio.

They made it.

Last night Corey and I went to a Mets game. They were playing the Atlanta Braves and for a moment I had thought back to some minor leaguers who I had photographed four years ago. And then what do you know as soon as they came up to bat and their picture was big on the screen. I knew I had met them before: Jeff Francoeur is an outfielder and Brian McCann is of course the catcher. I was so happy that they had made it to the big leagues. I had originally shot these portraits and story about the Charleston-RiverDogs and Rome-Braves for YM...

Self portrait at sea

There was one particular level on the big cruise ship that was great to hang out on because no one ever came down there. Watched a great sunset the third day and set up my camera for a self portrait. Technorati tags: Photography, self portrait, cruise ship, ocean, water, sunset, canon 5D, 50mm, blue
