Another fun shoot for the WSJ, this time at the reopening of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial and Hall of North American Mammals at the Museum of Natural History here in NYC.

After treating them in the lab Museum conservator Julia Sybalsky expertly places the real pronghorn droppings (from Wyoming) in the Elkhorn Ranch diorama.

Thanks to my friends at WSJ for sending me out to shoot the great Richard Meier at his home in East Hampton (and thanks to Mr Meier himself for making us feel so welcome and for the as promised super hot Scotch Bonnets)!

Late afternoon

Before Utah and its majestic scenery we were lucky to spend a day with the Brod family out in their Hamptons home shooting for WSJ. The Bates+Masi team was there helping out as well, but with such a beautiful house it was an easy day. Check out the rest of the series on my website.

 

 

 

Just got back from southern Utah, a couple miles from Lake Powell, sale what is now one of  my favorite parts of the US.

This is the villa where we stayed. More info on what we were doing there in posts to follow!

 

Thanks to Kate Osba and the good people at Fortune who sent me out to Huntley, Illinois (just past Elgin*) to learn all about the manufacture of the traditional charcoal kettle grill at the world famous Weber factory. Pick up this week’s edition (Aug 13) to read more about exactly how many millions of these things they sell every day. It’ll make a great conversation topic for this weekend’s weenie roast!

Had a good day shooting the Park Avenue Money Masters at Greylock Capitol for our friends at AR Magazine recently. Not your boring Wall Street guys, ailment these young titans of lower midtown also like donkeys, recipe bicycles and the Ramones!

Stay tuned for more industrial updates from my shoots for Fortune Magazine (Weber Grills) and Skanska (NDA!)

It’s Dan Mackenzie and Raffaella Meloni and they’re the fab musical duo Good Day Sunshine. Just coming out with their first collection of songs, I got to shoot them last week on a lovely sunny day on NY’s Lower East Side. Catch them soon at a venue near you, and if they’re not playing near you go see them anyway.

Here’s part of the work I’ve been doing for Skanska, documenting some pretty high tech data systems centers support technology fabrication. It’s amazing what these guys are doing, building something completely new, completely by hand, to extremely exact tolerances, with plasma lasers and all manner of welders. Even though I risked being blinded by the brighter than the sun flashes that sparked without warning from their apparatus, and a couple times thought I’d fried my eyes/brain/lens/camera sensor/all of the above (note to OSHA: I followed proper safety guidelines at all times), I’d gladly go back and do it again. I’m told the finished product, which can be shipped on a truck, replaces the current standard technology that takes up a whole building. And it’s far more efficient. Even if I understood what was going on I couldn’t talk about it here (or anywhere else for that matter) as it’s all still under an NDA. These 3 were cleared for me to share though. Once I get permission to show the finished product and the installation I’ll share it all here.
