So, I’m in NYC, had fresh rolls of film & was taking photos all over the place. Next thing I know, the metering on my little Mamiya started acting funny. I was in full sun, yet the meter said there was not enough light. I was lost but I tried my best to compensate. Slower […]

Everybody knows that my favorite look includes tight cheap jeans, sports coat, neck accessory & fine church shoes…. And no, my bag is not from China Town…. I’m just saying. A scene from Fashion Week, captured by Cousin Dee…. She really needs to get a damn blog or website or something….
After picking up our Mercedes Benz Fashion Week press credentials, my assistant/Cousin Dee headed to Lincoln Center to oooh & aaah at the façade of the tents that we would be camped out in for 5 long days. This was 3 hours before the NY Sip & See… And 1.5 hours before the Gretchen Jones […]
After my first Fashion Week experience a few years ago, I had a desire to attend/photograph shows & presentations that were not at Lincoln Center. Although I wanted to, logistically, it was difficult for me to make that happen with how my schedule was set. This past season, I made it my business to attend […]
One of the more interesting shows I photographed at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week last season was Falguni and Shane Peacock. They presented some interesting cuts, patterns & embroidery but most interesting was the make up. I was not sure what to make of the super exaggerated eyebrows. Kinda like some type of Joan Crawford-esque, kinda […]
I have completed 2 days of fashion shows around New York and Im asking myself, what did I get myself into. Feet hurting. Back hurting.

I was walking out of Foto Care after picking up a camera rental when I spotted her. I think it was the glasses that arrested me. She was reluctant to take the photo but I always have a way with words to get random strangers give in to my lens. Check here to view more […]
Yesterday, I spent the evening with Cousin Dee, (my photography soul mate) going over my workflow processes for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Why? Because she will be assisting me this upcoming season! I am pretty damn excited about it too. I have been trying to make this happen for the past 3 seasons but something […]
I don’t watch many shows on television. Maybe like 4 or 5 shows weekly and then, I’m mostly watching via DVR. When I bumped into Marshana Dahlia Ritchie pictured above, I believe she told me that she was on “The Bachelor.” I never watched the show so I was totally out of the loop about her […]
A couple months ago, I received a referral from a friend (Thanks Bethany!!!) to photograph a small wedding reception that occurred last week. When I say small, I’m talking about really small. Nice. Intimate. Non-intense. Just nice…. The event was at The Whitney Restaurant, a favorite old Detroit establishment and one of the oldest mansions […]
