New York Yankees - Mariano Rivera - Poster Night 2009

Greetings Dear Friends,

The day is almost here...and I am ecstatic to share these images with you. Pinch me...

Tomorrow night the New York Yankees square off against the Kansas City Royals in the Bronx. Why is this relevant??? It's worth mentioning (and blogging about) because it is also 2009 Poster Night at Yankee Stadium. 18,000 posters were printed and will be distributed to all fans 14 and under in attendance. ...and the coolest thing about all of this...

THE POSTERS FEATURE AN IMAGE OF MARIANO RIVERA THAT I CAPTURED DURING A RECENT PHOTO SHOOT AT THE STADIUM WITH HIM!!!
...exciting indeed :)

A word on Mariano: He is as gracious as he is talented...which is quite a statement considering he is arguably the greatest closing pitcher in the history of the game. He is patient and cordial and even brought himself to laugh at my bad jokes...and if you've ever worked with me before, you know how bad my jokes can be! I never once sensed a hint of pretension, just a dude, like any other. The 30 minute session was a blurr as I was forced to shoot in the Yankee Press Room...a nightmare for photographers as it is more visually confusing than a Las Vegas Casino floor. Scrambling to make the best of it...here are a few of my favorites.

A hearty, heart-felt, forever-owe-you one thank you to Mr. Michael Macchione and the entire staff at Catch 24 Designs in NYC for opening this door for me. I hope that this is the first of many collaborations together :)

Lindsey - Headshot-ted

Greetings Bloggers & Bloggettes,

December Blog-vember marches on! I hope that you all have been enjoying the ride so far. I have so much to share... Like this collection of portraits of the extremely beautiful, yet equally talented Lindsey Thorne. Lindsey & I got together recently on her turf...the urban paradise that is Williamsburg, Brooklyn. She needed some images for her modeling portfolio and I was looking for a subject to cameo in my upcoming promo video so...as fate would have it...we found each other. Believe it or not, Lindsey says that she is more comfortable with the camera in her hands and not on her face as she is a photographer first.

I'll let you all be the judge of that...










Linds - thank you for your love, energy and trust. You're amazing! And thank you to Mr. Anton Lorimer for tagging along on the shoot and capturing some killer live footage. (He even put his camera down for a few to hold my reflector...image that, T-Tone Lorimer assisting me :]) I'm so incredibly jazzed about the video...you are a master.

So tomorrow I board a plane for The Bahamas. I will try to keep up on blogging down there and hope that y'all can forgive me if the sun and sand inhibit my ability to do so. I will return with a full report.
