Another exciting Second Saturday at the Pillow Project.

Some dance, some improv and other awesomeness.

Here I photographed some friends of the family's kids, Anand David and Ram.

Andre Brown by the River

My friend Andre Brown, an awesome singer, and I went and hung out by the Allegheny river in Pittsburgh, PA.

Here are some of the photos:

As part of my series on Jazz in Pittsburgh I shot some photos in Katz Plaza (also known as Eyeball Park).

Here are a few of the photos:

Back in Pittsburgh last summer I took a walk with Ashley Camp, a dancer from Point Park University.

It's been a few months since I wrote on here. I will try to catch up on a few of the shoots I've done in the last year.

I shot this while assisting and being assisted by Yi-Chun.

Here are a few photos I shot with Jason Knox and the Parkour crew, Danger Lab, and members of Rukus NYC on location in the Lower East Side of New York City.

Yi-Chun and I shot and assisted each other on this shoot.

Michael Novak came back for another shoot with us, and I had met Natalie Lomonte earlier that day at STREB, as you can see in my previous post. Natalie used to be in Momix, Pilobolus and was currently in Parsons Dance Company at the time of the shoot.

I was finding it quite enthralling to compose the dancer, and use the strobe to place the dancer at the right time.
