Grace Farms; Old fashioned Liberalism Reclining in New Canaan
One day we took a trip out of NYC to visit Grace Farms, located in the very biblical sounding New Canaan. Grand Central Station was impressive and as always manic; the train journey not. A lot of people complain about the service in the US but I like it and starting from Grand Central is…

Carlo Scarpa, the Most Famous Architect You Never Heard Of?
I had never heard of Carlo Scarpa until I started planning a trip to Italy with my girlfriend, an architect from NYC. She is a big fan of his work. Am I just being lazy? For sure. However, it’s also true that I just don’t have much patience for all verbiage that gets written or…

Dar Roumana, a Gem Hidden in a Labyrinth
Dar Roumana is within the Medina of Fez. I had been to Morocco one time before, also for work. That was in Casablanca, working for Harvard, you can read about it here. I wouldn’t say I am a fan of Casablanca, my disappointment compounded because I loved the film. The reality is that it’s very…

The second time was maybe 2 years later, near Cabrera de Mar. The company was Cemelin and Bunzl had recently…

City Light; Those Magic Hours When You Can Take Your Studio to the Streets
I would like to take the idea of ‘Magic Hour‘ and turn it into Magic Hours. Maybe ironically, what I am suggesting might fly in the face of something sacred to many; that moment when the natural light is just perfect (and alas fleeting) for beautifully lit portraits. My magic hours are when the natural light, by chance…

Homage to Catalonia? (A Touch of Gaudí in Texas)
A little side job I had whilst in Texas (for a wedding shoot) was to photograph the house that Zack built (He was the groom and designed it as well). I stayed there for about a week and in a few sessions took photos for a book they wanted to make. It was an enjoyable…
Apartments & Interiors
I love doing architecture and interiors because it is a completely different process to photographing people; each can perhaps act like therapy for the other if you are feeling a little burnt out or jaded. These pictures were for a friend who wanted to rent his apartment on an exclusive site, I was flying out…

Sagrada Familia, Never-Ending Story
This was for an article in the Metropolitan magazine. I knew nothing about the story or the person nor had I ever met the writer. The pictures were taken in the summer but the article did not appear till October. I am not a big fan of the Sagrada Familia, to tell the truth, I…

Argentina, Chacarita Cemetery, Cap Fed
I returned to Buenos Aires this April after being away 4 years. I was lucky with the weather and on the few occasions I took out my DSLR it always seemed to be perfect, most of the shots here have not had a great deal done to them, the most drastic effect being a tonal…
