Ice Racing

Presidents Day weekend in Northville, NY. The New York State Ice Championship event drew competitors and intrepid spectators, who braved sub-zero temperatures and at times, a biting wind from the north, to gather on the frozen Sacandaga Lake for a two day event. I had not planned to attend, but found myself in town over the weekend and ventured out onto the ice to see what it was all about.

New Year / New Portolio

I am really pleased to present a recently completed new travel portfolio. This was really a home made project from soup to nuts. All the printing, layout and book construction was done in house, not to mention the photography of course. Though I definitely owe some special thanks to the guys at House Tribeca for some color correct and edit inspiration.

Fraction Magazine Print Sale

David Bram’s Fraction Magazine is hosting another holiday print sale, and I’m pleased to be a part of it again this year. I’ve put forth an older image from my first Iceland series in an edition of 20.

There is a lot of interesting work over there at very affordable prices, but only available for the next month. Check it out and maybe you’ll discover a piece that really speaks to you.

India pt. 5 (Chhoti Haldwani)

The tiny hamlet of Chhoti Haldwani, a model village built by the revered tiger hunter Jim Corbett, rests in the plains of the southern edge of the Kumaon region. History and tradition loom heavy, creating a delicate balance between the past and the present.

India pt. 3 (Nainatal)

In Nainatal, the cricket field lies in the shadow of the town’s great hillside mosque. A striking contrast:

India pt. 2 (dichotomy)

Two images that seem to compliment one another. First, the apex of India’s Mughal Empire architecture contrasted starkly with the western influence as manifested in the modern city:
