If your flying American, check your seat back pocket for the September 1 issue of American Way Magazine for my photos of Chevy Chase.
Remarkably there are 4 different covers!


Thanks to Brynwood Golf & Country Club for letting us shoot there. They totally hooked us up with everything we needed, including thousands of golf balls.

Here is a picture I shot last week for Barron’s of Tom Kolefas of TIAA-CREF. It’s always nice to shoot on a rooftop in NYC but unfortunately often hard to gain access. I shot Lisa Black on this rooftop 8 years ago.
I like this shot that my assistant fired off to test our tether. It shows me and the publicist on the roof. Just needs a chopper in the background.
If you are flying, check your seat pocket for the January 1, 2011 edition of American Way magazine. They asked me to photograph him with a bunch of paper airplanes for the cover to mark the 45th anniversary of the publication. I decided it would be best to composite them after the shoot. We shot the planes separately in the morning before he arrived. You can see them below. He was really relaxed and easy to work with. Thanks to Betsy Semple at American Way for the call. Thanks also to Stefanie Syat for grooming and Josh Freiwald and Seth Personett for helping me make all of those paper airplanes.
Once we put a ribbon on a house and a car in Montclair, NJ. It was only 5 years ago but I don’t think anyone would do it that way today. I don’t know if it would look as real, but it probably doesn’t matter.
First we shot with the ribbon and then quickly ripped it off (and the dealer sticker) and shot without. These photos were taken one hour apart. You can see from the shadows that the sun moved a bit. We were lucky that the sun stayed out.
It was a great crew and a nice afternoon. The shoot was for Met Life with the agency o2kl. The ribbon was hung by Georges Krivobok.
…sometimes you just have to hurry.
I recently photographed the CEO of Honeywell, David Cote, for NYSE magazine.
It was a cover shoot. We set up 2 shots in an airplane hanger.
The cover setup lasted 1 minute 20 seconds
For the inside picture I shot 4 minutes.
Then he hopped in a plane and flew away.
We went next door and took some more pictures…
I have to say that I am always really pleased with the layout and reproduction in NYSE.
Thanks Victoria Rich at Time Inc Content Solutions for giving me the opportunity.
This is Lucy.
That’s a Biscuit.
Don’t distract her.
I can’t wait to work on these.
