Halloween Jack O'Lantern BLAZE

Tonight we took the kids to the Hudson Valley's biggest, most electrifying Halloween event that featured more than 4,000 individually hand-carved illuminated pumpkins! The details of the carvings were amazing - from dinosaurs (and their eggs), to aquariums, giant spider-webs, haunted house, and a colossal Stonehenge - all made of pumpkins! Check these out!







Here's a slideshow of more cool Halloween hand-carved pumpkins from the Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze:

Cookie Magazine - Kidsfest Chicago!

Last Sunday I photographed the most excellent Cookie Magazine "Kidsfest Chicago" Family Arts & Music Festival at the River East Art Center. This event was non-stop fun with the band Milkshake rockin' out, Cool crafts, Faux Cookie cover shoot, Guitar Hero, Playschool extravaganza, and so much more. Check out the decor of the room too - very cool stuff.

My Niece, Alex (Alkee Poo) is the cutest lump of a meatball potato sack you can imagine. Here she is hamming it up for the camera after her bath. She's too munchkin-y cute for words.

Hamptons Summer Highlights 2008

Every year I look forward to my week in the Hamptons. It's arguably one of the most beautiful places in the country (especially in the summer) and I get to work my magic under sunset skies and lush green landscapes. I get to capture kids and family portraits that truly and visually communicates the essence of summer. Here's a few of my favorite images from this year. Enjoy!

Israel Summer 2008 Highlights

On our travels to Israel this summer I set out to capture the ancient city of Jerusalem and the old Arab market with a unique view. I used my Lensbaby selective focus 50mm lens to give the images an ethereal almost otherworldly feel. We also spent alot of time on the beaches of Tel Aviv (and played hours of Matkot / beach paddle tennis), and of course enjoyed time with our cousins and extended family in Natanya and Jerusalem! Enjoy!
