New York, New York

I posted a little preview of my recent NYC trip on my personal blog, but I figured I'd post up the full series of pics here too. More than just capturing New York from my perspective, I haven't gone out just to shoot for the sake of shooting in quite some time. In addition to that, I wanted to challenge myself in a couple ways:

1.) to capture the city that never sleeps using only my Canon 35L f/1.4 lens rather than traveling fully armed with all my gear.

2.) continue to shoot in .jpg rather than RAW to not only be kind to my lack of hard drive space (haha), but also make me increasingly strict towards my exposures right out of the camera.

In the end, I was incredibly happy with not only my photographic pursuits, but the trip as a whole. It was cold as heck, but that wasn't about to stop us from seeing the city top to bottom. It was an amazing amount of fun to finally visit New York, indulge in great food and really embrace the identity of a city so world renowned. I can truly understand why people love New York so much after they visit.

Here are some snaps from the trip, though if you want to check out all the pics from NY, check out the slideshow above. Enjoy!

I <3 New York

In the city that never sleeps, it's truly incredible for someone to put together a piece that really slows things down to reveal the beauty behind the beauty.



It was shot with the underrated Casio EX-F1 at 300 fps and edited at 24 fps. The man behind the camera is Vicente Sahuc. Brilliant movie. Brilliant song choice. Brilliant editing.

Totally inspiring. Definitely rocking my "I can't afford to love NY" shirt today.


Props to Clinton over at HeadHoods for producing the shirt and keeping it real. I'm pretty sure he's still got a bunch to order, if you're into it. As a matter of fact, shoot Clinton an e-mail directly if you want one in your wardrobe: clinton@headhoods.com.
