School is finally over for the summer and now I get a 2 week break. I am heading up to Jaffrey, New Hampshire where there is no cell coverage or computer. Before I go I’d like to tell you about a couple of cool things that some of my photographer friends have done.

Mark Menditto and Tony Sweet spent two days photographing buildings on Ellis Island using HDR Technique. Mark explained to me that you take multiple pictures at several exposures and then merge them together. The effect is amazing and you really need to check out their stuff.

Here are a couple of samples
and one of Mark’s Grand Central Shots that I love

Another friend , Stephen Wise has relaunched his website. He has been taking pictures of New York forever and has been selling his prints on the Upper Westside for as long as I can remember.
Check out his website

See you in a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately, school has left me little time and the cold weather with little motivation to traipse around and shoot pictures for the site. I can assure you it is temporary.
Fortunately a few other great photographers I know have been busy.
Mark Menditto was lucky enough to be at the City Hall’s annual sneak peak of the old subway station which has been closed to the public for years. He got a lot of great stuff that he is willing to license out.
His work is really incredible and can be viewed here at www.mendittophoto.com or here at PhotoShelter.
Also, Stephen Wise has come out with a digital edition of his “Help Me To Live” photo collection. He mixes incredible photographs with a compelling story and an original soundtrack by Bonfiglio in to a phenomenal one-of-a-kind work of art.
I have seen Stephen selling his works on the Upper West Side and have always loved his work. If you are looking for something unique and original visit his website at www. LotusEditions.com and get a copy.
Finally, milo, my favorite web designer and the best theme maker for Wordpress, has a new site. Her graphic works are the best and her themes are unmatched.
If you ever want to start a website or publish a blog or just want to see some cool stuff go here, http://3oneseven.com/
and her flash site is cool as hell.
I’ll shoot more pictures soon, stay tuned.

This has got to be one of the craziest scaffolding jobs I have ever seen. They wrapped the entire body of Riverside Church. If I was crazy I’d ask them to climb it and take pictures, but I’ll leave that to the pros like Mark Menditto, who takes fantastic pictures of New York.
