I know I’ve been MIA in terms of updating this page. The gigs have come too fast and furious. I shot a Brooklyn Nets playoff game, tons of theater and burlesque all over the city, and more. With my day job taking up 10 hours a day, this site has been neglected. But here are my photos from Pandora Events’ Girls in Wonderland, the biggest lesbian event on the east coast.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I get requests from people to remove photos from online galleries.
Two words: I can’t.
It’s not that I don’t care that you were caught snogging someone you shouldn’t. Actually, I am lying. If I caught you cheating at a club, then I’m kind of stoked I exposed you for the rascal that you are, and even if I respond with a polite email with a apology that the photo has gotten you in trouble with the missus, secretly I am laughing.
But other times, I get it. You had a little too much to drink, and you normally don’t booty pop topless in public. It happens. Or you just don’t like the photo, because you’re vain. That’s is cool. I wish I could remove the photo and make you happy, but – and let me make this clear:
I simply don’t have access to photos once I turn them in. I do not upload and publish my own photos.
I am a freelancer, and I don’t have editorial privileges at whatever magazine or whichever club’s website I’m shooting for.
So what should you do? E-mail the people who can take them down. If they were published by the club promoter on Facebook, contact them via Facebook. If they were published in an online magazine, contact the editor of the appropriate section. Look for the “contact us” page. And sorry, I’m not going to contact them on your behalf – you will get faster results if you cut me out of the equation and contact them yourselves anyway. The editors/promoters I work with are peppered with frivolous emails from me on a regular basis, and at this point if they receive an email with my name in the “from” line, it is assumed that the email is unimportant and it will most likely only be read after their hair appointments, pedicures and highly pressing Words With Friends moves.
To make your life easier, here are the usual suspects –
TruckStop: eventinfo[at]fuse-events.com
Time Out: gay[at]timeoutny.com and nightlife[at]timeoutny.com
Thank you for understanding and goodnight! 🙂

I had the exciting opportunity to shoot the largest 4th of July fireworks display in the country for Time Out New York. I set up a tripod near the banks of the Hudson, grabbed my remote release (to prevent camera shake) and shot away. Here are a few tips in shooting fireworks. To get the full light trails effect, you have to use a long shutter speed – anywhere from 1 to 10 seconds, depending on the speed at which the fireworks are being launched. (So this is why a tripod and remote release are necessary.) Use a low 1SO (100-200), a wide angle lens, and set the manual focus to infinity. Then I tried to time it so just as the first burst is about to happen, I pressed the remote release button and held until the bursts started fading.
Here is a selection of shots from the set.
The full set is here.
Other galleries?
For one night, Times Square was transformed into an art gallery, with graffiti and pop art being displayed from billboards, including the Nasdaq sign.
Also, here is a set from the U.S. debut show of legendary reggae DJ Earl Gateshead. Caron Wheeler of Soul II Soul was in the audience.
Finally, get ready for my NYC Pride recap in AfterEllen, and I’ll be taking over Real L Word recapping duties from seasoned TV junkie Dara Nai aka Bad Machine. Yes, three years of writing has led to recapping a trashy reality TV show, where an explicit shower sex scene happens in the first two minutes and a New York cast member suggests getting it on in the bathroom of a grungy dive bar. One can only be so lucky!
