A few weeks ago I was honored to receive a call from the 2010 CLIO Awards inquiring about exhibiting my street art photographs during the awards ceremony that took place last Friday at Skylight in SoHo. The images were projected by seven high-definetion projectors onto the venues 25″ walls cycling through the images.

I’ve only exhibited my work a handful of times. My first exhibition titled “Rebirth” took place at SB Digital Gallery in Manhattan’s East Village last year. My second and current exhibition (if you want to call it that) is a gallery of my Cuba work at Joe Coffee in theWest Village….which should be up for a bit longer, followed by another exhibit at separate Joe location in Chelsea.

It was truly an honor to have my work displayed in a room full of advertising creatives and executives. The evening was certainly a memory I won’t soon forget….they had some fun and tasty hors d’oeuvres and a stellar dinner! Oh, and Rob Riggle of The Daily Show and The Hangover hosted the awards!

Big thanks to the CLIOs for the honor and to all the winners!

Happy Holidays Everyone!

I thought it’d be a good time to share some photos from my walk through Central Park during the blizzard last weekend in NYC.

My hometown paper in Athens, Ohio ran my article about my trip to Havana, Cuba in their most recent Sunday edition. To read the article you can read the original article on Sports Shooter or take a look at my first blog post.

While I’m waiting for my most recent pictures to get published so I can post them here, I thought I share my friend’s new blog.

My buddy Marko is (finally) starting to update his blog from Iraq. He’s on a 3 month rotation in Bagdad for the New York Times. Kudos to those who go to dangerous places to to tell important stories to the world.

Anyhow, he’s got some interesting things to say, and some nice pics too.

I had an assignment to shoot on Ellis Island today, so I made the trek downtown and to the ferry. It was such a beautiful day and being out on the water is always nice. It made me remember some of my other trips sailing along the hudson.

Here are a few pix:
